Amazing Gaming Mouse

RAZER DeathAdder RZ01-00151400-R3U1 Black Wired Optical Precision Gaming Mouse - 3.5G Infrared Sensor
RAZER DeathAdder RZ01-00151400-R3U1 Black Wired Optical Precision Gaming Mouse - 3.5G Infrared Sensor

Pros: Excellent feel Very comfortable very smooth movement with or w/o mouse pad Software works well cool glowing effect on mouse and wheel very good mouse movement tracking

Cons: personal quirk - thumb buttons could be back a little closer to palm area. I find it hard to reach the thumb button closest to the front. But the mouse is flawless otherwise and I cant expect Razer to customize the mouse to my liking...can i?

Overall Review: If you are a MS intellimouse or Explorer fan and you game - dont hesitate and get this mouse. If you enjoy the logitech Gx shape and feel you may want to look at the SteelSeries Ikari. And For all you who say your button are breaking - these mouse buttons are hyper sensitive NOT pressure sensitive. The harder you press your button will not translate into the game.

Potential but falls short

ASUS RT-N56U Wireless Router Dual Band N600 Multimedia Ultra Slim Gigabit 802.11a/b/g/n support USB Storage, Print and Media Server
ASUS RT-N56U Wireless Router Dual Band N600 Multimedia Ultra Slim Gigabit 802.11a/b/g/n support USB Storage, Print and Media Server

Pros: Fast speeds, usb printing, usb drive share.

Cons: Unstable Firmware!! To give you an idea, I was using fw version 1.0.1.7f for the longest time. It worked for what I needed it for. Upgrades from that version would cause all sorts of issues with Wifi. Come christmas I buy my wife a Airprint Canon printer for her Ipad. I can not get it setup. Turns out Airprint is only supported on the latest fw 3.0.0.4.318 since a IGMP snooping kills the Bonjour packets. So I upgrade to .318 and the printer works, but then after a few hours of use my WAN connection chokes up. It so bad it takes minutes to load pages and I was unable to connect to services like steam. After reading in forums I find there are different stability issues with each different FW revision. the latest is WAN stability, but my Airprint works. the previous release a has the airprint bug but the WAN works well.

Overall Review: If considering this router please read up on the different FW revisions to see if they will impact you or not.

Decent, NOT for Overclockers or Quads

ASUS P5N-D LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 750i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS P5N-D LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 750i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Good Layout Its an stable board at stock settings. Make sure to apply latest bios fix.

Cons: Ok.. Not a stable overclocking board. I can get my Q6700 stable at 3.17ghz with my current config. When I try and optimize or push my overclock at all the board becomes completely unstable. Also, my processor @ stock should get approx 42 Glops peak. Well I only get 20+/- so it there are performance issues with quad cores as well with this board on top of the overclocking stability issues.

Overall Review: If you dont use a quad core or dont plan to overclock this is a solid board at a good price. If you decide to do either of the above mentioned then stay away from any Nvidia chipset boards. Especially the 750i's.

Worked for 2 months.

G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-4GBNQ
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-4GBNQ

Pros: Slightly better priced than other reputable brands. Worked well while they were working.

Cons: 1 stick is now unstable and causes the system to be unusable after 2 months of use.

Overall Review: I bought these for my brothers system to try and save him a few bucks here and there. According to the reviews these seemed to be a good purchase. After 2 months of use 1 stick is failing now. I have a pair of Corsair XMS in my system for 2 years now never 1 issue at stock or overclocked. Waiting for an RMA to see how that goes. From now on I will just go with the reputable brands... They get their rep for a reason. Overall NOT IMPRESSED.

What can you expect for $10

SteelSeries 63005SS QcK mini Mouse Pad
SteelSeries 63005SS QcK mini Mouse Pad

Pros: Good gaming surface Small so it fit well in my confined desk space rubber bottom doesnt allow it to slip

Cons: OEM packaging causes wrinkles/waves

Overall Review: good mouse pad for the price you pay. I will have to agree with the other reviewers in saying that they need to package these things flat and not rolled up. Im sure taking heat to it from a hair dryer or low heat iron will flatten it but this product should be "ready to go out" of the packaging... - 1 egg for stupid OEM packaging

Not Bad

Antec Three Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Antec Three Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: its an OK case. Comes with a 120mm and 140 case fan.

Cons: Power supply in the bottom... dont know if this is good or bad but a little difficult fitting things in with this design. Supplied cables could have been an inch or 2 longer. had to stretch the usb and aux extensions to connect them to the board.

Overall Review: not a horrible case but not a great one either. If you are on a budget it works...
