Precision is power, as the EVGA BP power supplies add another affordable option to EVGA's 80PLUS Bronze-certified lineup, while reducing the overall length to 120mm - EVGA's shortest ATX power supply to-date! The BP power supplies feature a 115mm hydraulic bearing fan to ensure that staying cool and quiet is no tall order. Combining a full suite of protections and EVGA's 3 Year Limited Warranty, this power supply should be on the short list for your next system build.

Keep your computer running smoothly by using this CORSAIR thermal paste on its components. It has an ultralow thermal impedance that enables efficient heat transfer from the hardware to the cooling system to prevent overheating, and the low-viscosity material is simple to apply. This CORSAIR thermal paste lasts for years without degrading.

The Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard K400 Plus lets you experience PC-to-TV entertainment the way you Watch video, browse the web, chat with friends and much more. The all-in-one keyboard with touchpad ends the hassle—and clutter—of multiple devices. And a 32.8-foot wireless range ensures your fun won’t be interrupted. Comfortable, quiet keys and a large (3.5-inch) touchpad make navigating entertainment effortless. Even setup is a snap thanks to the tiny, plug-and-play Unifying receiver.

I use this on a media Raspberry PI. The size is very good for using on your lap and the trackpad works sufficient for basic navigation around the screen.
Works exactly as advertised

Pros: quiet, moves sufficient air to keep case cool
Uses the connector on the motherboard that controls the system fans. It came with extensions and other connectors. So easy to use without buying more adapters.

I am not a keyboard aficionado. I can say the mouse works concisely and the keyboard is comfortable to type on. It is a fairly quiet keyboard which is nice.

Hey this is a $5 mousepad. It works.
The surface is a basic mouse fabric. The mouse I use on it seems to respond well with this material.

Designed for use with select Brother printers, this Brother LC-203BKS ink cartridge helps you create crisp, clear documents with bold, dark text. A high-yield design lets you tackle large print jobs.
 

Hi, will LC203CL XL ink work in my MFC-J805DW printer??

You printer isn't listed on the carton. I looked up your printer and it is recommending LC3033xxx cartridges. You probably want to stick with those as there is a reasonable chance it will not properly fit in the printer.

Is the computer a good use for a college student?

You would be better off to buy a machine with 8 GB of RAM (this has 4 GB), so I would recommend spending another $150 if you can afford to, you may want to also look at an Intel Core i3 or i5, or AMD A9 or Ryzen processor.

This comes with Windows 10, this means that the common university supplied Office 365 can run on it. Office will be slow to start, but then fine afterwards. Because of the limited RAM, you will be restricted to one or two tabs open on your browser. Any more and the machine will slow down. Being the father of college/high school students I can say that most likely the browser will be open at all times streaming music/videos along with applications for homework. That will be a pretty big strain on this limited memory, dual core (minimal processing power) device.

ASUS is a good brand, but this is a minimum spec machine (I'm typing from the machine right now). It'll make due, but just minimally.

Dynex™ - 50-Pack 52x CD-R Disc Spindle - Silver
These CD-R discs feature fast recording speeds up to 52x and up to 700MB of storage space per disc, making it easy to archive music, movies, videos, digital photos and other important data.
 

I’m planning to use the bottoms of these as a wall decoration - kind of like a mirrorish effect. Some other cds I’ve bought have purplish-silver tinted shiny bottoms and it ruins the whole look. I need plain silver shiny bottoms. Do these have that?

No - you'll need commercially produced music CD's for your purpose. These use a different material that can be "burned"
