After using this for 3 months, I can honestly say my life has changed. Although it starts with the individual's wanting to change, the Withings watch helped me track my progress and gave me the necessary information to push me towards my goal. Like many others, Covid had pushed my health into a bad place. Every number that should be up or down in terms of good health was the exact opposite. I bought this watch after reading many different reviews for android users. It may not tell you about REM, be the most accurate, or answer phone calls/texts, but it definitely will give you a baseline, track your progress and provide you the encouragement to move forward in achieving your health goals. No other watch can stay on your wrist straight for 2 weeks without charging and be able to track your sleep, steps, and workouts. It even tells me to get up out of my chair if I'm sitting too long! The weight and thickness of the watch is great. It's super comfortable and I'm able to sleep with it on without any problems. I've had prior smartwatches but they were always bulky and needed to charge at the end of the day. What's the point in a smartwatch that measures sleep when it needs to be charged at that time! Like I mentioned earlier, it's your mindset to want to change but this watch will help you get there. Good luck to everyone in achieving your health goals!

These speakers sound fantastic. My wife and I tested the B&W 603 and 704 S2s along with these and the ML motion 40is sounded so good. For the price compared to the 704s, it wasn't worth spending the extra money. They are so clear and open! We also got these on sale so we were even happier to get great sound at a great price. These replaced B&W 683s2s. Coming from B&W, these MLs are power hungry since they are 4ohm speakers so be sure you can power them up. With power, you won't be disappointed. I'm using an Outlaw Audio 5000 amp paired with a Denon 3600x. They are about 100 inches apart with a slight toe in. For my front stage, I also changed out my center with the ML 50Xti... my front stage is even better now. I then added in the surround motion fx and my sound bubble is amazing. Looking forward to watching and hearing all the movies coming out!

These speakers are awesome! I have B&W 606s as my back L and R, but after hooking up the MLs as my back L and R surround, my sound bubble is complete! I definitely hear a difference and the clarity is amazing. This year, my wife and I changed out our front stage with MLs and these Motion FX's have really completed the package. I have to admit I've been a B&W fan but MLs have won me over. My front stage are the motion 40Is and and the 50XT center. I'm using an outlaw audio 5K amp paired with the Denon 3600x to power everything. The motions replaced B&W 683s2s and the 50XT replaced the HTM6. I couldn't be happier!

Sound quality is absolutely amazing once you tune the equalizers to your liking. Even though the fit is snug, they are really comfortable and help to drown out the background noise. For the battery to last, you need to turn off the RGB. The one thing that would make them 5 stars is a better range. I also had a pair of wireless steelseries arctis 7s which had a great range, however they tended to hiss once I adjusted the equalizers to how I like them. These range on these virtuosos did improve after i moved the usb slipstream to the keyboard passthrough USB. I'm not sure if the interference from my hardware impacted the range or not but having it plugged into the m70 keyboard has helped.

This thing rocks! I bought this for my boy due to long distance learning. I actually had him on the wired version of this but he kept pushing the distance of the line that it loosened the usb port; so we went wireless. The distance on this is amazing. I feel like it's better than the distance of my Corsair Virtuoso SE. He easily wears it the whole day because it doesn't pinch his head as much as the HS60. Battery life is also sufficient to last for the whole day of classes from 8:20 to 3pm...as long as you turn the RGB lights off by setting them to black. He uses them on his zoom conference and likes the fact that he can quickly mute and unmute. Solid headset.

I have to admit i was hesitant in purchasing these speakers because I love B&W speakers. However, I needed to outfit my dining room with some new speakers and I didn't want to fork out too much cash. My current setup was using a couple of speakers from my very first 5.1 speaker setup which were the klipsch quintets from eons ago. My online searching revolved around a great budget speaker for 100 bucks. Low and behold, I found these Sony core series and they are awesome! I would have never thought that Sony could design speakers that sound this good. I've always thought of them putting together speakers made for a HTIB setup but this totally blew my mind. The amount of base these bookshelves create amaze me. They are clean sounding and open. These are 6 ohm speakers so make sure your receiver can pump them. I have them paired with a yamaha adventage series receiver. The best part is I found a pair of these as open box and got another discount when BB had their special discount off of open box. I'm recommending these now for those who ask me about speakers at this price point.

I'm a huge fan of MSI mobos. This is a great board for beginners to use. The BIOS is already set for Ryzen 3000 drop in. I just put in the Ryzen 5 3600x and was ready to go. Even though the board only supports 4 sys fans, you can use the pump fan and a splitter to power 2 additional case fans if you don't plan on using an AIO. Then go into the bios and change the pump fan regulation to smart temp. Been running it for a month now and no issues.
The only bummer side is that Corsair icue and mystic light don't play well together, so rgb color coordination is a no go from what I've tried and researched. You'll need to run both programs.

So I bought this version vs the gold RX750 because they were out of stock. I can't say that I feel any difference because I have the RX in another one of my builds. I installed this into a Corsair i200 case. Fits perfectly but with all the wires, be prepared to lose one out of 2 bay slots. I recommend using the M.2 slot if you get this case, so you can use the bay slot for extra storage. This PSU is pushing a 450 Tomahawk max, Ryzen 5 3600, 6 case fans, hypercooler 512 black, and a 5500 Mech.

This case is great. Great airflow and easy to work with. Best case I've ever used for the money. I replaced the front three fans with QL corsairs and moved the other three to the top and back. I'm using the black edition hyper 212 cpu cooler and fits with plenty of room left. I'm running a b450 tomahawk max and 3600x. Things can get cramped in the bottom compartment with all the wires but you can still fit a SSD in there as a secondary

Jace's Questions
 
Get lost in your favorite movies with this Epson Home Cinema 4010 projector. Advanced three-chip 3LCD technology optimizes color for bright, vivid results, while the 4K UHD resolution offers an exceptional viewing experience. The 2400-lumens light source delivers up to 5,000 hours of use before needing to be replaced. With 10 preset positions and effortless adjustments, this Epson Home Cinema 4010 projector offers easy operation.
 

I bought the 4010 and paired it with a Sony x700 blueray player and a Fire Cube. Sony X700 streams well for VUDU. However, I can't get more than 1080 out of cube. Is this due to the 4010 HDMI 18GB pipe restriction? What streaming device is recommended?

Is this a 3rd gen as well?

Pre-loaded bios is all set for 3rd gen. I popped in a 3600X and was ready to go! If you get the regular B450 board and not the max, you will need to flash the bios before putting in the CPU
