Most Critical Review

it's ok

Logitech MK545 Advanced Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo-Black
Logitech MK545 Advanced Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo-Black

Pros: - It's functional, so far - There aren't a lot of extra buttons around the keyboard - Personal preference, but the key pattern around the Enter key is the way I like it

Cons: - It feels cheap. The mouse particularly seems like a toy. Eg, there are places where the scrollwheel 'clicks' more than other places. The laser also doesn't work on a plastic-y table cloth.

Overall Review: - Haven't owned it long enough to comment on the battery life - I probably wouldn't buy it again, but if you're not picky it will probably work fine

Same cable disconnection problems as everyone else

TOSHIBA 1TB USB 3.0 2.5" Canvio 3.0 Plus Portable Hard Drive E05A100PBU3XS Black with Silver Accents

Pros: - Great form factor - Feels rugged, the edges are a bit rubberized - Good price, good capacity - nice short (portable) cable

Cons: If I plug it in and don't touch it it works decently. If I touch or brush up against the cord at all the computer says the HDD was disconnected without ejecting and whatever I was doing breaks. Last time I tried to use it I got an incredibly slow 2M/sec. I have no idea if it was temporary or what but I'm having a hard time trusting my data with it at this point.

Overall Review: Wouldn't buy again. I'll take reliability over looks any day.

Disappointing

BYTECC Bracket-35225 2.5" HDD/SSD Mounting Kit For 3.5" Drive Bay or Enclosure
BYTECC Bracket-35225 2.5" HDD/SSD Mounting Kit For 3.5" Drive Bay or Enclosure

Pros: It's the right dimensions to fit in the Antec Three Hundred mini tower. It came with a lot of screws.

Cons: None of the holes were threaded, so none of the screws fit.

Overall Review: I ended up not using it, since I'd have to thread the holes myself. It's just a cheap piece of plastic so it wouldn't be a big deal, but still, that's pretty lame.

Not reliable

SilenX IXP-11-14 40mm Case Fan
SilenX IXP-11-14 40mm Case Fan

Pros: It was very quiet when it worked.

Cons: After a few months it occasionally made some scratching sounds. I looked in my case today (probably, 5 months after I bought it) and the fan was completely stopped.

Overall Review: The fan was on 24/7.
