Good Case Fan

Thermaltake A2016 80mm Blue LED Case Cooling Fan
Thermaltake A2016 80mm Blue LED Case Cooling Fan

Pros: Three different ways to set up the fan, you can use the temp sensor, the manual control, or direct connection to motherboard. Moves lots of air. Blue LED's look cool.

Cons: Loud at full power, not that bad at 1/2 power.

Overall Review: If you use the manual control you can still adjust the fan speed via bios, or windows utilities, just cannot make the fan faster than what the manual control is set at. When using the manual control remove the jumper on the cable.

Works Well

BELKIN PURE AV Model AV20000b06 6 feet Digital Optical Audio Cable Male to Male
BELKIN PURE AV Model AV20000b06 6 feet Digital Optical Audio Cable Male to Male

Pros: The cable has allowed me to connect my HTPC to my Logitech Z-5500 speakers without any problems.

Cons: The ends are a bit lose, but this is not a problem for me as I do not plan on moving my speakers or computer while using the cable.

Overall Review: It is a cable and it works, much cheaper than at retail stores, just as good as $60 cable.

Works

AMC DVI-DD1025 Black DVI-D M/M Dual Link w. Gold Plated Connectors

Pros: The cable works and is long. umm... I don't know what else to say.

Cons: A bit on the thick side.

Overall Review: If you flex the cable a little bit it will loosen up, be careful not to kink it as with all cables.

Logitech Z-5500 Great Product

Logitech Z-5500 505 Watts 5.1 Digital Speaker System
Logitech Z-5500 505 Watts 5.1 Digital Speaker System

Pros: Very good sound quality, plenty of power and great bass. I love the quality of the speakers so far. They have done a good job on every type of music I have used them for: classical piano, jazz, rock, orchestra, vocals, etc. I am very impressed with their handling of both digital and analog input. The control interface is very simple and preforms its job well. Plenty of included speaker wire for most installations (standard speaker wire, if you were to need more).

Cons: Sub is large (not really a con), you can hear the imperfections in low quality digital audio, but this is just because of the great range of the speakers.

Overall Review: I am using these speakers with a Creative X-Fi Titanium sound card and they sound better now than they did with the onboard sound.

Good Cables

GENERIC 10X5-82214 (Black) 14 ft. Cat 5E Black Network Cable
GENERIC 10X5-82214 (Black) 14 ft. Cat 5E Black Network Cable

Pros: Cable works as it is supposed to, the anti-snag protector increases durability.

Cons: The anti-snag protector can make it a bit harder to unplug the cables.

Great Combo

Pros: The Keyboard and Mouse work great with my Macbook, never had a problem with the mouse loosing connection. The multimedia buttons on the keyboard and mouse work great in osx. The build quality is good and the keys feel much better than a standard keyboard. Unlike other reviews I have not had the problem with unplugging the receiver.

Cons: The multimedia buttons do not all work without drivers in windows.

Overall Review: Great product, if you search the logitech site you can find their mouse drivers for windows, then the extra mouse buttons will work.
