Awesome for $20!

AZZA Diablo MSAZ-004 Black 6 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired Optical LED Gaming Mouse
AZZA Diablo MSAZ-004 Black 6 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired Optical LED Gaming Mouse

Pros: This is the first time I have ever purchased a product from Azza, and I must say I am impressed for it only being $20. I bought this for a 6 y/o laptop that's been collecting dust and needed a little fixing up so I could have something mobile, and even though it is corded (which most hate for laptops), its very light weight, it has the DPI button on the mouse so you can change your settings on the fly. For the most part I have been using it in my bedroom and living room, and the mouse works great on the surface of my sheets and the arm of the couch with no mouse pad. The lights for the Azza logo cycle through a few different colors, and the body of the mouse stays blue. I haven't looked into any possible settings for changing that, but I kind of like it at default and am in no rush to change it. There are not a million buttons on it like my Razer, which for my laptop is just fine, for the most part I just play Counterstike and Minecraft on my laptop. I'm a big guy, 6ft 3in @ 270lbs, and it fits pretty well in my big hands, fairly ergonomic, and comfortable to hold.

Cons: The only possible con I can find at this moment, is that scroll wheel is not very smooth or fine tuned, my Razer's is very sensitive. Which doesn't necessarily bother me, all of the buttons on this mouse work flawlessly, but its the only possible con I can think of for the money and I figured I would through it out there for anyone who might care.

Overall Review: For me this mouse deserves 5 eggs, it works in everyway that I need it too, and don't have any complaints. If someone wants to be able to program the keys and a million different buttons this mouse may not be the mouse for you, but that's where the more expensive ones come into play that have their proprietary software that allows you to do all of that. But for a light weight, backlit gaming mouse that's pretty basic, I think its great.

Fantastic Case

Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced - High Air Flow Full Tower Computer Case with USB 3.0 and All-Black Interior
Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced - High Air Flow Full Tower Computer Case with USB 3.0 and All-Black Interior

Pros: A lot of room for airflow, a lot of possibilities for fan solutions and liquid cooling solutions. A lot of room for GPU's, hard drives, etc. One thing I would like to point out, is that I watched a video where someone was complaining about the positioning of the USB 3.0 hub. I want to point out that it can be moved, or even removed if you don't want it. The quick disconnects in the 5.25 bays do slide off with a little finesse and can be reposition on different bays, so I moved my usb 3.0 hub to the top of the bays, and put my disc drive right below it to mask the cosmetic difference in the metal mesh between the hub and bay covers, and the only difference is that there is not a plastic border around the mesh like the bay covers. Right now this case has my 6 y/o pc in it, and is doing pretty good at keeping an old and dying machine cool, and now I'm working on building a skylake pc over the next few months. With this being my first tower purchase and soon will be my first pc build that I have personally done, I think the cable management is great, it keeps a lot of the wiring hidden.

Cons: The only two cons I could possible think about with this tower is that there are no dust filters what so ever, which means you just have to open it up a bit more often with them not being there and clean out your machine like you should be doing anyways. The second potential con, is that there are no protective rubber grommets on the cutouts for cables to pass through, which shouldn't be an issue, all wires have their own protection, and they shouldn't be pulled tight going from one opening to another anyways, you are looking at causing a lot more issues than possibly cutting your wire if you have them pulled tight, and you should look for jumpers to extend the wires. Which still shouldn't be an issue, as my old pc had plenty of wire length even in this case.

Overall Review: Its a great case, and I would recommend it, tons of room for expansion, and I don't see needing to replace this case anytime soon. The two potential cons I noted, in my opinion are in no way a deal breaker. I bought this on sale, and I would recommend pulling the trigger on this case if you are interested in it.

Amazing!

Pros: Amazing knifes, the construction is sturdy, the knife is sharp, I baby these things, hand washing and drying them after every use. I have been using cheap knifes for several years now, and these are night and day difference, I am not disappointed in the least. I paid $55 on black Friday for these knifes, and even at the retail price tag I would say get them, they are worth the money, I bought them on black Friday and would do it again. Well worth the money.

Cons: None

Love it!

Cooler Master NotePal X3 - Gaming Laptop Cooling Pad with 200 mm Blue LED Fan
Cooler Master NotePal X3 - Gaming Laptop Cooling Pad with 200 mm Blue LED Fan

Pros: Quiet 200mm fan, and I do mean quiet, if I'm in a quiet room yes I can hear it, but its not annoying, if I have the TV playing in the background or some music I can barely hear it. Plus the fan speed is adjustable so you can get it a bit more quiet. For me I keep it full blast for the most part, I bought it for my ancient laptop that I did some work to in order to have something portable that will last me for about a year. And this laptop would get burning hot.... which is why it was collecting dust for several years, the heat fried my HDD. It keeps this pig cool, the lights can be turned on/off, same with the fan with the two buttons on the bottom left side. The fan speed adjustment is right about them too.

Cons: The only con I can think of and I saw someone else mention this, is that there isn't anything on the cooling pad its self to help hold the laptop in place, there are rubber feet on the bottom of my laptop which does help hold it in place, but it still slides down the pad after a while, which isn't that big of a deal, how hard is it to push the laptop maybe an inch and a half back up the pad after being on the laptop for 45 minutes to an hour? Don't really see this as much of a problem, but figured I'd throw this out there for anyone who it would be a problem for.

Overall Review: Overall its a great cooling pad, I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a good pad that has some style to it.

Love these watches

Swiss Precimax Men's Pulse Pro SP13105 Black Stainless-Steel Swiss Chronograph Watch with Black Dial
Swiss Precimax Men's Pulse Pro SP13105 Black Stainless-Steel Swiss Chronograph Watch with Black Dial

Pros: I bought this watch for my dad for xmas, and I personally really like it, I hope he does too. The coloring is very simple and isn't flashy which is what he would want and its a great watch for special occasions. I couldn't find this watch or the falcon pro on the Swiss Precimax's website but according to new egg and mr. watch its worth $850, and I only spent $80 on it. So i am very happy I bought the Falcon Pro and this watch, they both look great, and they are sleek but not flashy. The face of this watch is a little bit bigger than the Falcon Pro just as a heads up, this one is a little bulky, and the band is too big as well, I need to have it adjusted.

Cons: Its not necessarily a con but the face of this watch is pretty big, I've never been a fan of watches that are really big, but this watch still looks great.

Awesome Camera

Pros: First Camera i have ever owned and I am not disappointed by it. The mobile share feature works out great considering this doesn't come with any kind of an SD card. So whenever I take a picture it automatically sends it via wifi to my cell phone. Awesome feature, it takes great pictures, I have two German Shepherd pups and I am constantly taking pictures of them and this works out great for that. Its quick and responsive when you try to take a picture, very little delay and there are a ton of settings you can play with so you can adjust it toward what you're taking a picture of.

Cons: Didn't come with an SD card, I was expecting at least a 2G SD card in the box, 8G is only what $10, a 2G is chump change and would have been nice if it had one. Had to order an SD card separate for this and am waiting for it to arrive. Maybe I missed some fine print but I don't recall it saying that it didn't come with one.
