Asus Store Desktop Computers

Outstanding motherboard, I have 11 computers up and running, all Asus product.

at this price, I bought a whole bunch to store in the car, at different computers, etc.

I have five desktops at my home around the house. All the DVD/CD Drives (ASUS DRW-24B1ST) in the computers are the same; namely these. Most computers have two; so a total of eight drives. These are reliable and have worked over the 8-10 years of service. I highly recommend these Drives. The price is right and have worked more reliably than Lite-On Drives that I used a long time ago. Buy these ASUS Drives as you won't be disappointed.

I’ve built a lot of computers in the last 30 years and used many different motherboards, but I’ve found that ASUS has been the most reliable. Easiest to install and setup. You don’t need to be a genius to figure out the bios to configure what you need. I have a computer I built 10 years ago with an ASUS board, and it’s still going strong. The only downside is keeping up with processor speeds.

I am pretty handy at building/modifying my computers but replacing the ram on the Asus netbook is another thing altogether. It was definetly worth it to me to have B&H so the work so that I knew it would be ready to roll upon arrival.

I use the Arc Mouse for my desktop, laptop and netbook computers. Very easy to use and the design makes it very comfortable to use. It takes just a little adjustment after switching from an optical mouse, but you will not go back.

I know that there are several companies out there who make good memory cards, but when I check my stash of memory cards, most of them say SanDisk on them. Likewise, most of the back-up memory for my Desktop computers say Western Digital (who owns SanDisk). My advice is to learn about the nuances of memory cards. The small print on similar looking cards distinguishes the capability, not just in GB capacity, but the generation of chip and the speed for reading and downloading. I also own some Sony and Delkin memory cards, but SanDisk makes good stuff.

Both dives allow me to easily transfer files from my laptop to my desktop computers. I find it very easy to use.

Short review: I wanted to find a USB switcher I didn't have to worry (or even think) about at all. This is it. Long review: for context for the rest of this review, my use case is to switch a common set of USB devices (keyboard, mouse, and USB audio device) between a desktop and a laptop. I bought this unit after having a poor experience with a much cheaper USB sharing switch from another manufacturer. This other unit lasted about two years, then started to fail to switch between host computers, and also seemed to be allowing voltage from one host to pass through to the other. I'm not one to risk damage to the valuable computers I've got hooked up to these switches. I got rid of that unit, did some research, and picked this one up based on some other folks' recommendations. This unit isn't cheap, and seems to be marketed primarily toward business use cases, but so far it's working perfectly for my home office setup. It appears that I'm getting exactly what I hoped I was paying for: reliability and safety. I haven't had a single electrical gremlin show up since I began using this. It automatically switches the three USB devices to my laptop when I plug it in, and switches back to the desktop when I unplug my laptop. I'd recommend reading the instructions and making use of the power supply.

I purchased this cable to connect a desktop to an Anker USB hub which is routinely switched between one of three computers, depending on which is needed at the time. The included Anker cable is about a foot long, which is far too short to reach the desktop. This helped bridge the gap and works perfectly.
