Most Favorable Review

A good Ryzen motherboard

ASUS Prime B350M-A/CSM AM4 AMD B350 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 HDMI Micro ATX Motherboards - AMD
ASUS Prime B350M-A/CSM AM4 AMD B350 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 HDMI Micro ATX Motherboards - AMD

Pros: I needed a micro-ATX motherboard to fit my case. This one did. I like the four DIMM sockets because they allow me to upgrade the memory without having to discard the DIMMs. I'm familiar with this board as I've used it in another system. It does what I want, at a low price.

Cons: I have no complaints.

A good low-priced graphics card

ASUS Radeon HD 6450 1GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 Low Profile Ready Video Card EAH6450 Silent/DI/1GD3(LP)
ASUS Radeon HD 6450 1GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 Low Profile Ready Video Card EAH6450 Silent/DI/1GD3(LP)

Pros: It works, which is all I wanted. I like the fact that it has no fan.

Cons: This vendor ships by UPS, and wants a signature from an adult at the destination. That would be me. There's nobody else living here. I'm not going to sit at home the whole day waiting for delivery. They made two unsuccessful attempts, and only found me at home on the third one. The package was in my city for six days before I was able to get it into my waiting hands. Even though it was a good price, I'm going to avoid this vendor in the future.

Overall Review: If you have somebody at home the whole day, I would recommend this card.

Everything I wanted in a Windows computer

HP EliteDesk 800 G3 SFF (Small Form Factor) Desktop Core i7 6th Gen 6700 @ 3.40 Ghz (Upto 4.0Ghz) 16GB Memory (Support upto 64GB Memory) 512GB SSD Win 10 Pro New Wired KB, Mouse, WiFi & HDMI Adapter

Overall Review: I'm pleased with this computer. It had every feature I wanted. I didn't use the wireless dongle, as I prefer wired ethernet. I used it to replace an older HP SFF computer that had become obsolete, and could not be upgraded easily. It worked perfectly and did everything I wanted. It was well packed and arrived intact.

I liked this flash drive

Overall Review: I used this flash drive to backup several data folders on my old Windows computer. Then, I used it to copy those same folders to my new Windows computer. It held all my files except for the operating system files. The old computer had only USB 2.0 ports, so I wanted a USB 2.0 flash disk for the transfer. It worked perfectly.

I liked this disk enclosure

VANTEC NexStar TX 3.5" SATA 6Gb/s to USB 3.0 HDD Enclosure

Overall Review: I used this disk enclosure to wipe the system disk taken from a Windows computer. When I connected it to an illumos computer to do the purge, it worked perfectly. The purge itself was quite slow, but I expected that. Now I can dispose of the Windows computer with no concern about any information that's on the system disk.

I'm pleased with this KVM

4 Ports HDMI KVM Switch, HDMI USB Selector for 4 Computers Share Keyboard Mouse Printer and One HD 4K@30Hz Monitor, Including 4 KVM Cables
4 Ports HDMI KVM Switch, HDMI USB Selector for 4 Computers Share Keyboard Mouse Printer and One HD 4K@30Hz Monitor, Including 4 KVM Cables

Overall Review: I'm quite happy with this KVM. It works perfectly as long as I do not connect the small remote control keypad. Instead, I use the four buttons on the top of the KVM unit to select one of my four systems. I have one Windows system, and three Unix systems, along with an HDMI monitor and one keyboard and mouse. The built-in USB hub works well with both Windows and Unix computers. For reasons I do not understand, the remote control does not work with this KVM. In fact, it interferes with the buttons on top of the KVM. At first, I assumed the remote control was faulty. When I contacted the seller by e-mail, they responded promptly. After some discussion, thy agreed with me that the remote control was faulty, and sent me a new one. Unfortunately, the new one also did not work with the KVM. In some ways, it was worse. At that point, I gave up my e-mail exchange with them, and just used the KVM without the remote control. I'm happy with that solution.

Seems to be an excellent SSD

I bought a pair of these SSDs. I put them in my parts box to be a replacement for any SSDs that have failed, or a single SSD that needs redundancy. So far, they are still in my parts box.

I was impressed with this bracket

It was even better than I had expected. The bracket came with mounting hardware and cables. I may not use all of the cables, but they are there if I need them. The idea of mounting two SSD drives in place of a single disk drive certainly appeals to me.

Only one when I needed two

I've used these DIMMs before. They worked quite nicely with my motherboard. When I wanted to upgrade another system, I intended to buy two more. The Newegg vendor only had one. I bought it, hoping to find another one later. This was a vain hope, it turned out. I eventually bought two of a different type. I'm expecting them to work with my motherboard, but I won't know for sure until I get them. In the meantime, I'm keeping the single DIMM as a spare.
