Research. Compare. Decide.
I’ve built countless PC’s and recommended many motherboards for different needs.
ASRock or ASUS can both be great choices, but for different reasons.
Read on and we’ll figure out which brand is a better pick for you.
First and foremost, you should be looking for a reliable motherboard.
Faulty motherboards cause some of the most difficult to troubleshoot problems – random reboots, shutdowns, and lockups.
Camping and tailgate grills, torches, and lanterns all can use compact gas cylinders.
My favorite brands are Bernzomatic and Coleman. Read on to find which will work better for you.
The fuel stored in either brand of cylinder is the same. Both will burn just the same.
However, there are some other differences that might matter to you.
Picking a memory card doesn’t just come down to how much space you need.
Choose too slow of a card, and it won’t function.
It’s also important to get a quality card to avoid losing important photos and video before you’re able to back it up.
When photographing weddings, I did my research and took no chances with my memory cards.
PNY and SanDisk make some of the best memory cards. Here I’ll explain what to look for in a card, and which brand is the better of the two.

I’ve seen poor quality power supplies fail in spectacular ways.
In my years of IT work, the smell of burnt plastic from cheap power supplies dying was all too common.
For the fortunate ones, only the PSU was toast. For others, it took the motherboard with it.
It can be tempting to grab a $40 power supply and use the extra cash toward a better graphics card or bigger solid state drive.
Don’t do it!
It’s absolutely worth it to spend a little extra for quality when it comes to your power source.
In the guide that follows, I’ll detail what to look for in your power supply and whether Corsair or EVGA is a better choice for your PC.
Quick Pick: The Corsair RM650x is quiet, reliable, modular, and has plenty of power for most PC’s.
It’d be great if furnace and AC filters never needed to be replaced.
Like with any air filter, they get dirty and clogged. When filters get plugged up, air doesn’t flow like it needs to. So, we’re stuck replacing filters on the regular.
Your filter makes a big difference in how clean the air is in your home.
Not just that, but your filter determines how much dust accumulates on all your surfaces. Less dusting is good, right?
I gladly spend a bit more on good filters so I don’t need to dust as much.
Filtering your HVAC unit is a pretty simple concept, but certain brands and materials should be avoided.
FilterBuy and 3M Filtrete have some of the best filters. Which one you choose depends on what you’re looking to get out of your home’s air quality.
Give this a read and I’ll make sense of it all.
Quick Pick: FilterBuy is a better value for everything except entry level filters.
