Nice product

OKGEAR LAN-BK Aluminum 3.5" IDE USB & Ethernet Networking Enclosure
OKGEAR LAN-BK Aluminum 3.5" IDE USB & Ethernet Networking Enclosure

Pros: Indeed pretty fast( see cons ). It's invisible to computers that don't have the driver or key. Reasonable price.

Cons: It can't run as an FTP server. It states clearly "do not perform disk operations when multiple computers have the drive mounted". I tried writing to it from both my desktop and wireless laptop simultaneously, it's fine, didn't crash or anything. But, the speed has been severely degraded. I need to dismount the drive from my laptop in order to achieve a stable 10Mbytes/sec from my desktop.

Overall Review: nice manual. make sure this has want you want.

So so

Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0
Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0

Pros: Very good ergonomic design. I loved my razer pro 1.6 but it hurts my wrist b/c it's too flat in my opinion. This mouse has better support on my wrist and hand. And 9000 frames/sec is good enough for pretty much anything.

Cons: I didn't know that this mouse still has the old 400dpi engine, after so many years...It might be good for FPS games, but on my desktop 1680x1050 and rts games like frozen throne, 400dpi is just way too slow. If you increase the speed by software you lose accuracy, i couldn't click on one item in Frozen Throne cuz the cursor just wouldn't stay exactly on it... Moreover, the two side buttons feel extremely cheap , c*rapp*y. They feel like they might not spring back up when you press them, at any time. And the scroll wheel, same as other ppl said about.

Overall Review: I don't think it's worth the money.

I dont own this product yet

VisionTek Radeon HD 3870 X2 1GB (512MB x 2) GDDR3 PCI Express x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card 900209

Pros: Fast.

Cons: none

Overall Review: I just would like to point out for the anonymous reviewer: this card doesn't need a cross-fire mobo. Read the specs and online reviews. It just needs a regular PCI-E x16 slot. I'm planning to upgrade my x1900 to this baby.

Pros: Good performance with relatively low price.

Cons: For some reason it randomly reboots if I watch TV using ATI's multimedia center. Dunno if anyone else is having the same problem... very annoying.

M-AUDIO US99150 5.1 Channels 24-bit 192KHz PCI Interface High-Definition Surround Sound Card

Comments: You know what? This is the best sound card i've ever had. The SNR is so good that you can't hear any background noise at all, even u turn the volume the the max! And I don't get any unusual cpu usage like the previous review says. And it has one seperate jack for headphone! Woot! That's exactly what i want..... The bottom line is, if you are serious with quality and don't mind a bit loss of performance when playing games, this is definitely a good buy!

Good deal!

Comments: I got this fan+heatsink last week and it's working perfectly! My XP 2500+ is not so good but with this monster, I finally have my cpu stable on 3200+ and pretty cool at the same time. Idle: 40C Load: 50C There's something I gotta mention. The fan actually makes much noise at its top speed: 4000rpm or so. I have Q-fan control from my asus mb which cuts it down to 2600rpm and now it's reasonably quiet. You may want to bear heatsink and get a quieter fan. And at last, the heatsink is huge! Pay attention, if you have enough space on your mb.
