Just right

Pros: Comfortable, sensitive microphone so you dont need to worry about where you clip it too much, great for Skype & Voice chat, easy on the ears to lay on, inexpensive. Extension cord comes in very handy and can be used with other headsets as well. It comes in 3 separate pieces, the earphones, the microphone, and the extension cord. All 3 are independent of one another. Though there are smaller clips along the micrphones cord to allow your to clip it to the headphones cord for better cord management.
Cons: The bass is a little weak, but perfectly acceptable for what these cost and their size. Since the microphone is a separate deal, it can get annoying to have to take off earphones AND microphone so you can get up and move around. Since they are noise canceling earpieces you hear a bit of your own voice echo in your head but not real bad. The mute button on the microphone broadcasts a loud pop when you turn it on and off to whoever is listening, like in ventrilo or skype.
Overall Review: For the price this is an excellent setup
Short Lifespan

Pros: Smooth tracking, excellent low profile design
Cons: Limited software, impractical side buttons, & short life span. After a month it started double clicking when i single clicked...a month later it will send a click signal once every 5 or 6 clicks
Overall Review: Not sure if this is just a faulty model, or if the entire line is this way but I have to replace mine because it wont click anymore
Suprisingly Good Case for Budget Price

Pros: Price Tool-less Design Bottom Mounted PSU Black Interior Cable Management Holes & Supplies Great Airflow & Fan Options Quiet Excellent Front Panel Fan Filters Fairly Light Weight Rubber Grommits/Padding/Insulation to prevent vibrations on PSU, CD Drive, Hard Drive etc.
Cons: On mine, the Rear Panel would not slide all the way on, and the rear panel thumb screws had been tightened all the way down causing it panel to bend a little where the screw hole is. No rubber grommits around cable management holes Not enough ziptie spots on back Could use a little more cable management holes Does not come with a Side fan which I feel it needs to get optimal airflow Sliding a SSD into the Hard Drive cage was a little difficult as it kept wanting to tear up the rubber rings instead of slide over them. But i eventually got it, more by shifting it down over them instead of back over them.
Overall Review: For the price of $60 i paid for it this case blows away all other cases ive seen in its price range. It looks and feels closer to a $120 case. Very well designed, easy to work with case that resembles HIGH end cases like the corsair 600 & 800 series but with a few cuts in design/materials to bring it down to an awesome price point. Highly Recommended.
Decent but a little costy for what you get

Pros: ANY key on the keyboard can be reprogrammed Automatic profile switching for different games/general OS use Keys have a very nice gripping texture Backlight is bright, and evenly distributed Antighosting keys helps when playing fast action games Looks nice Key feedback is springy and responsive and has a nice slight clack.
Cons: No dedicated macro keys. Expensive. Caps/scroll/num lock led is a little too bright. Multimedia controls are touch sensative but give not visual, tactile, or audible feedback so you cant tell if its doing anything when you touch the multimedia keys. For example if you want to turn down your volume cause the last IM you received was loud, you cant tell how much you are turning it down or how long to leave your finger on there or if its turning it down at all.
Overall Review: Its a good keyboard, but make it a tiny bit wider and use that extra space to put some small macro keys on the left hand side. Price needs to be lower, and multimedia controls need to be real buttons or have an OCD which displays volume/play/next etc like a TV does.
Perfect World MMO

Pros: Extremely immersing. Great lore & story telling. 16 Unique classes, many different races. Huge world, fun crafting, excellent diplomacy system. High difficulty level (not world of warcraft ez mode) High replay value with all the races, classes, and 3 spheres to advance in.
Cons: Framerates are a little low on my mid range system. (Xp 3200+ witha 6800gs and 2gb of ram) Some aspects of the game are not completed yet. It could have used a little longer in beta.
Overall Review: Ive beta tested this game since beta2. I still love it. If you are still unsure about this game, You could wait a few months as there are still some minor issues that need to be ironed out as of the time im writing this. But its def a must for any ex-EQ1 player.
Upgraded from FX5900

Pros: Best bang for your buck by far. Mine unlocked to 16/6 flawlessly. No artifacts what-so-ever. Unlocking it really boosted the benchmark scores. I am amazed with the performance and I havent even tried it overclocked yet.
Cons: No extras(games, apps) like the 6600gt has.
Overall Review: Here are my benchmark scores in 3 steps: 3DMark03 5900=5572 6800gs=10756 6800gs*=12045 3DMark05 5900=1050 6800gs=4865 6800gs*=5484 3DMark06 5900=305 6800gs=2222 6800gs*=2551 * = 6800gs Unlocked to 16/6 System: CPU: XP 3200+ Barton MB: Asus A7N8X-DX 2.0 RAM: Corsair ValueSelect 1gb (512x2) HD: 36 GB 10,000 rpm Raptor HD2: 60GB 7,200 rpm Western Digital Old Video Card: Gainward FX 5900 Silver Sample PSU: 450W Monitor: 24" Sony Widescreen CRT
