Most Favorable Review
EAGLE ET-CS2MU2-BK 2.5" Black IDE USB 2.0 Mesh External Enclosure
EAGLE ET-CS2MU2-BK 2.5" Black IDE USB 2.0 Mesh External Enclosure

Pros: Looks awesome! Works solid, no issues after a few months of use transferring large files with a laptop.

Cons: Smalls screws isn't a joke.

Overall Review: With the low prices commonly offered on this enclosure, I feel it's a great buy. Great looks and solid performance and you only have to deal with the tiny screws once if your not swapping drives in and out.

Logitech MX 518 8 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired Optical 1800 dpi Gaming Mouse
Logitech MX 518 8 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired Optical 1800 dpi Gaming Mouse

Pros: Very light and fast. Shift on the fly DPI is great. Thumb buttons are in the perfect spot. This mouse fits great in my hand and feels solid.

Cons: Color/Design leaves a lot to be desired. Document flip button is in a poor location. Attracts dirt on the top like no ones business.

Overall Review: Might be a little to light weight for some people. Also may be a little big for smaller hands.

WD Caviar Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Very Fast

Cons: First drive would not detect as SATA III and had to be exchanged.

Overall Review: If this second drive holds up to the standards I have come to expect from Western Digital I will be very satisfied.

Thermaltake Armor A90 Black Steel / Plastic Gaming ATX Mid-Tower Computer Case VL98521W2U w/ 850W W0319RU Modular Power Supply
Thermaltake Armor A90 Black Steel / Plastic Gaming ATX Mid-Tower Computer Case VL98521W2U w/ 850W W0319RU Modular Power Supply

Pros: Very sturdy for the price. Modular power supply. Forgoes IEEE 1394 FireWire for eSATA on the front panel.

Cons: When I received the case, the eSATA cable detached itself from the port, all the pins came out. Some of the cable provided with the modular power supply are extremely short. You have no choice but to run them directly to there location, no slack for cable management.

Overall Review: My problems with the eSATA cable may have been a one time occurrence, but between that and the power supply it prevented me from purchasing this case a second time.
