Great keyboard!

RAZER Black USB Wired BlackWidow Ultimate Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
RAZER Black USB Wired BlackWidow Ultimate Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

Pros: - Mechanical cherry MX Blue switches - Backlit with blue LEDs - Macro keys - Some multi-media keys and useful hotkeys (disable windows key)

Cons: Blue.... I knew I was getting it in blue, but at the time that was the only color offered. I really would've like red, but its ok. the indication lights are TERRIBLE!! What I mean is the lights that are for "caps lock" "number lock" and "scroll lock" are very very dim, and really only visible from straight up, which is definitely not where your face is while typing.

Overall Review: This keyboard has been an absolute pleasure to type on. I do game pretty regularly (sc2) and the switches havn't caused any problems (rank 10 diamond currently) with my APM. A few people claim that blue switches are harder to press down in fast repetition, but I havn't found that to be the case at all. I use this keyboard not only as my main gaming keyboard, but it is also the only keyboard i use now period. And I've used it to type numerous reports for school and work. typiing has never been so fun! Seriously for the first few months... I actually went out to find things to type because I enjoyed it so much. Sadly the noise does tend to get on peoples nerves... but its worth it!!! <3

G5 * 100?

Logitech G500 Black Chrome 10 Buttons Dual-mode Scroll Wheel USB Wired Laser 5700 dpi Gaming Mouse
Logitech G500 Black Chrome 10 Buttons Dual-mode Scroll Wheel USB Wired Laser 5700 dpi Gaming Mouse

Pros: Very high DPI Amazing feel! Plenty of buttons "frictionless" scroll Customize your own weight (mouse)

Cons: When I first started using the mouse I was a little sad cause although the appearance hasn't changed from the G5, the design has been modified just slightly. Its enough so that I noticed right away when I switched. And the mouse buttons were a little squeaky at first. So for the first day or two I was very disappointed, figured I'd have to invest in a razer mouse and just get used to their designs. But after about 2-3 days the buttons stopped squeaking and by then I was fine with the slight redesign. The 3 buttons near the thumb are kinda odd, but thats just because they're so close to each other. I prefer a little more spacing.

Overall Review: I never thought I'd actually use the frictionless scroll feature, but it's been one of my favorite additions to this mouse. I read a lot of tech blogs and other websites that are very tall, and the frictionless scroll feature is amazing for scrolling through pages like that very quickly. Its sadly not as "precise" as I might like. even though it doesn't click, it still does the same scroll distance, so you can't get pixel perfect accuracy. But I've recommended this mouse to many of my friends, and it really is the most comfortable mouse I've ever used.

Great build quality

Rosewill RX-358 V2 BLK - Black, 3.5" SATA to USB & eSATA External Enclosure with Internal 80 mm Fan
Rosewill RX-358 V2 BLK - Black, 3.5" SATA to USB & eSATA External Enclosure with Internal 80 mm Fan

Pros: Solid build quality, all metal construction, and comes with Sata to esata bracket.

Cons: fan.... Not sure if I like the fan... Its nice because it cools the HDD down, but fans are always the first things to fail on these things. Haven't had any issues, but I prefer fanless designs. As a few people have pointed out the blue LED can get annoying. It is very bright, but I put all my external HDDs behind my monitor, so I don't see them.

Overall Review: Great build quality, a solid product for an amazing price. Even if the fan were to fail and kill the whole thing I'd buy another Rosewill product.

Big mouse pad!

Razer Goliathus Gaming Mouse Mat - Fragged Control Edition - Standard M
Razer Goliathus Gaming Mouse Mat - Fragged Control Edition - Standard M

Pros: Very smooth, great control, and very good with high DPI mice.

Cons: I tend to eat near my computer, and this mouse pad tends to collect dust/crumbs. Its easy enough to vacuum out, its just slightly annoying when a small dust particle gets on it and messes up the accuracy of the mouse.

Overall Review: Pretty large, its actually larger then I thought it would be. Make sure you use the dimensions they give you and see if this will fit on your desk. If you play only RTS games, this will be way to big for what you need, but for lower DPI games (fps) its great.

LONG cable

Rosewill RCAB-11019 - 15-Foot USB 2.0 A Male to Micro B (5-Pin) Male Cable - Black
Rosewill RCAB-11019 - 15-Foot USB 2.0 A Male to Micro B (5-Pin) Male Cable - Black

Pros: - Extremely long! - Decent quality

Cons: - Doesn't magically recharge my phone faster... :( - Possibly a little... too long?

Overall Review: I was tired of having to use the 4 foot cable the phone came with when charging the phone. So I went for the longest cable I could find! Its 15 feet, which sounded good in my head, but its really long! The connectors seem pretty solid, just treat it with care and don't throw your phone around. 15 feet of cable for under 5$... need I say more?

Samsung F3 HDD

SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 ST1000DM005/HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 ST1000DM005/HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Great drives! Very fast. I bought 4 of these when they were 49.99, to make a RAID10 array, and I'm sure glad I did! Speeds average 250ish for Write, and 150 for read. How is my write faster then my read on Raid 10? I don't know... I think the SATA controller on my mobo is a little iffy... Since then I've bought 2 more to make into external storage as well, I'm considering dropping the redundancy and doing 4 in RAID0 just for pure speed and using the backups, as true back ups.

Cons: Wish they were SSDs?

Overall Review: People have been posting negative reviews towards newegg, and this drive because of the price increase. Try to find HDDs anywhere else for the "old" price... You can't. There was a flood in Thailand that nearly crippled the HDD production line for all brands. This isn't neweggs fault, and they're not trying to take it out on the consumer. Newegg has offered this drive a few times for 79.99 which is really a steal, but they can't sell them for free. <3 Newegg!
