ASUS ROG Strix Z690-A Gaming WiFi D4 LGA 1700(Intel® 12th&13th Gen) ATX gaming motherboard(PCIe 5.0, DDR4,16+1 power stages,WiFi 6,Intel 2.5 Gb LAN,Bluetooth v5.2,Thunderbolt 4,4xM.2/NVMe SSD and Front panel USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C connector

Pros: - Worked on my 13th gen build, flashback bios worked as advertised, no trouble at all.

Cons: - Had to manually install drivers for NIC and MOBO, no big deal

Overall Review: - Great, worked unlike the Gigabyte version I bought that they refused to RMA

Most Critical Review

Cheap, gets the job done.

Rechargeable Battery Pack and USB Charger Cord for Microsoft Xbox One Controller
Rechargeable Battery Pack and USB Charger Cord for Microsoft Xbox One Controller

Pros: Works with a standard Xbox ONE controller. Holds its charge.

Cons: Battery Pack doesn't charge. Charger cord it comes with is not long enough to plug into the xbox and actually charge it off of a controller. May as not include it when shipped out and just advertise a battery pack.

Terrible Card, Terrible Support

ASUS GTX770-DC2OC-2GD5 G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 770 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
ASUS GTX770-DC2OC-2GD5 G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 770 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Pros: If the card doesn't freeze up on your system build it runs great.

Cons: From day 1 when I ordered and installed this card it has been nothing but problems. The main problem I have had is that the card will randomly freeze to where it freezes the image currently on screen and there's nothing you can do about it but do a hard reset on the chassis. After troubleshooting this by doing different installs of windows, testing multiple other video card (nVidia and AMD), running test bench software, consulting ASUS and nVidiatech support, sending in the card to nVidia, and etc I have found that the only logical explanation is there's a compatibility issues with my mother board, which funny enough is ASUS as well. I run the ASUS P8Z68-V LE in case anyone else is having this problem. I've lent the card to a friend and had him run it for about 3-4 weeks and he had no issues, but the support I received from ASUS was that it was a hardware problem (which is what I agreed with). I then sent the card into nVidia and they sent the card back to be 1-2 weeks later without the original box I sent in and no explanation to what they did or if it was even replaced.

Overall Review: I am likely going to trade this video card with my friend's video card so that I have some sort up to date video card to game on.

Great for the price

ALTEC LANSING BXR1220 2.0 Speaker System
ALTEC LANSING BXR1220 2.0 Speaker System

Pros: I've had these speakers for a couple of months now and so far so good. Nothing to complain about. They are small and compact which works perfect for my desk set-up and output a good sound quality for what I use them for. Don't get me wrong, if you want to watch movies in HD with high quality sound, then these are not for you, but if you are looking for a inexpensive solution to having something more then headphones for sound, then these work wonderfully.

Cons: You get distortion when turning them up in the higher ranges of sound frequency. AKA, don't try to blast these, you'll probably blow them or get constant feedback.

Overall Review: Not made for a lot of bass, mid tones are where you want to play these guys at, buy a sub if you need that bump to your beat :).
