Pros: •The overall shape felt nice in my hand •Red buttons on the sides weren't really in the way (to me) •Scroll wheel felt good •Weight options and being able to change the shape (height) of the mouse was nice! •Lights indicating dpi level •Programmable lights in red, green, blue

Cons: I took only one egg off because, out of the box, the left mouse button was juuust as stiff as can be. I was applying extra pressure with each click and could tell I wasn't going to be able to use it regularly. After I used it for around 4 or so hours my right index finger was sore from pressing down so hard while I tried a few games. What made it a little worse was that the right mouse button felt totally fine which was what I was normally used to. In the end I couldn't keep it.

Overall Review: Given there was a difference in the two buttons, the left button consequently being harder to press down, I am unsure if it was an issue in the construction or a physical defect. However I am sure this mouse by EVGA would be wonderful to use if only that left button FELT better. My experience with PCRUSH customer service was great! Had no problems getting a refund.

Pros: Really dig this motherboard. updated from an old outdated m3a78-em asus board and it's been doing great for more than two months. It stays cool and supports a lot more ddr3 memory for my multimedia work/gaming. At this point I can't tell 100% but the on board audio for me seems flawless, no crunchy or jittery interference while under load while listening to tunes and games. Usually I needed an external sound card because of issues like that. I didn't have to update the bios as it is already up to date. The utility/software disk is pretty nifty giving a lot of control/overview. a lot of pcie 2 slots is also really great if I ever feel like generating a lot of multi gpu heat in this computer :P Overall I feel like it was $187 well spent for a working motherboard.

Cons: I was able to integrated more additional external USB on my previous mb than this one but I'll for sure get by with it! not much of a gripe

Overall Review: and I suppose always a caution to those looking for motherboards and dealing with space between cpu heatsinks and dimm slots. If you have a real BOX of a heatsink the far left dimm slot most likely won't be good for any dimm with high heatsink plates. the other three dimm slots to the right are perfect for those. Just things to keep in mind that I experienced.

Pros: very easy to install. was playing BFBC2 and Boarderlands after install. quite a powerful graphics card. Overall really happy with the results.

Cons: when I upgraded from the 9600, the evga 260 gtx is awesome but it really messes with some of the game resolutions that I've never had before I installed the card. I'm not sure if I have to dig in and manually set some graphics adjustments in the games .ini/text files. like every time I run s.t.a.l.k.e.r games from that series it starts up in with the screen clipping outside of view and it's some really interesting display issue but once I alt+tab it corrects itself. it maybe steam somehow. anyway it runs properly with all my other applications.

Pros: hasn't had any problems since I installed. runs well and not choppy! Just the amount of space I need for large programs.

Cons: none

Pros: I had ordered this little number twice because the first board shorted out on me and refused to even turn on. I was really bummed like anyone else would feel. BUT, New Egg as reliable as they are, accepted the rma and replaced it without a problem. the second board I received now runs like a peach. lots of room for extra USB devices after plugging a couple internal usb hookups on board. variety of space for pci cards is limited because of the GeForce 9600 but I only needed one free for a wirless internet card. all in all, this is a nifty board (when it works of coarse)

Cons: in the HD audio I can constantly hear faint popping and crackles. not that it's TERRIBLE noise but it's just a little odd quirk. haven't been able to get rid of it but it's faint and small. just going to learn to live with it. after all I'm more into faster graphics and gaming which has been working out well.

Overall Review: there seems to be much turmoil over poor boards being produced and shipped out. I suppose the only thing I can say is it happens to the best of us. but it served it's purpose correctly the second time around so at least I know not all the boards are bad.
