Amazing upgrade

UtechSmart Venus RGB Gaming Mouse, Wired 16400 DPI High Precision Laser Programmable MMO Computer Gaming Mice
UtechSmart Venus RGB Gaming Mouse, Wired 16400 DPI High Precision Laser Programmable MMO Computer Gaming Mice

Pros: Admittedly, this is my first gaming mouse. I bought it based on other reviews and the price point. Setup was easy, install the driver and control software and the mouse comes alive.. However at first it seemed a bit awkward and much larger than my standard mice. After setting the DPI so the pointer was neither too hyper nor too slow, I pulled up a game on Steam and test drove it. It takes a little time to adjust to but I shortly realized its size was perfect for an adult male hand and all of the buttons were in just the right locations and, not only that, it has a tactile feel that is excellent - from the scroll wheel to button clicks, its all as a mouse really should be. Even the unit's weight is adjustable with removable weights located in a cover on the under-side of the mouse, which adds to the ability to customize the "feel" to the user's liking. Overall, a great purchase.

Cons: none

Orange MOUC6020BK Black 3 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired Optical 800 dpi Mouse

Pros: was free

Cons: This is lying in a trash can beside me. It had failed right out of the box. The unit has the feel of a Cracker Jack prize, not a real mouse. I understand now why it was free from NewEgg. I'd give it away too, but not to a friend.

Too Easy!!

Amped Wireless AP20000G High Power Wireless-N 600mW Gigabit Dual Band Access Point

Pros: Setup was extremely easy. No "log onto this IP and follow this cryptic menu". It is almost a "plug-n-play" setup and does exactly what I want. Note that my configuration is as a hard-wired repeater at the far end and main floor of a ranch home with the main router in the basement. This unit really blasts out a fantastic signal over a wide area when using a hard-wired ethernet connection.

Cons: It won't wash my cat and did not come with beer or winning lottery tickets!!

Overall Review: Before I bought this, I called Amps tech support and told them what my situation was and what I wanted to accomplish. Instead of the model I was looking at, they pointed me to this one as having the coverage I needed and assured me it would be a very easy setup. Bingo!! Right on all points.

Rosewill RCX-Z4 120mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler - Retail

Rosewill RCX-Z4 120mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler

Pros: The cooler was offered in a bundle deal with the CPU that was too good to pass up. The large size of the fan surprised me when I opened the box but it's the quietest running CPU cooler I've owned besides being the tallest, heaviest and largest diameter cooler ever for me. Having said that, the AMD 550 idles at 28C and seldom has risen to 33C so far in normal usage. This is not overclocked - yet. A great value for the money.

Cons: Be sure to mount this so the RAM slots on the motherboard are not blocked, otherwise you might be removing it again to add/remove memory.

Overall Review: My first Rosewill product but I would definitely try their products again.
