Most Critical Review

Terrible SSD, don't purchase

Mushkin Enhanced Atlas Series 120GB Mini-SATA (mSATA) MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MKNSSDAT120GB-V
Mushkin Enhanced Atlas Series 120GB Mini-SATA (mSATA) MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MKNSSDAT120GB-V

Pros: Fast if it works Installation is easy on a Sager Notebook

Cons: Appears to run hot. The drive is separated from everything and still gets very hot. Touched the bottom of my computer and feel cool but the drive marks from 60 to 69 Celsius (The regular hdd marks a cool 40 Celsius). Fails after a few hours of use. The first one didn't work well from the beginning, failed after a couple of minutes. Got a replacement and everything looked good until recently the OS started stalling again after a couple of hours of use.

Overall Review: Will not send it back because i don't want to get the same defective model.

Great mouse with lack of drivers

OCZ Technology Behemoth Black USB Wired Laser Gaming Mouse
OCZ Technology Behemoth Black USB Wired Laser Gaming Mouse

Pros: -Very precise -Big mouse -Nice hand support

Cons: -Has problems in windows XP -Too sensitive, even the slightest body movement while touching the mouse makes it move. -Bad support

Overall Review: Even though i see OCZ guys posting answers to this comments if you go to the support page you won't find a lot of comments on how to fix these problems. It appears it is not a physical problem with the mouse, its just drivers. Im using it in windows 7 and everything appears ok, just overly sensitive which i hate. In windows xp everything goes wrong, the mouse stops working (shuts down), pointer trails away while im not touching the mouse, double click does not work. Given that in windows 7 everything works i find that the driver is not working correctly. Would love to see further instruction in how to fix this or I will return it. Good try on OCZ part on delivering more than just memory but you guys should take a good look on the support and software that MS and Logitech bring with their products. (And no i don't work for either company, I just own products from both of them)

Good but lacks some important points...

APEVIA X-QPACK-NW-BK/420 Black Aluminum 1.0 w/ ABS plastic front panel Micro ATX Desktop Computer Case 420W Power Supply
APEVIA X-QPACK-NW-BK/420 Black Aluminum 1.0 w/ ABS plastic front panel Micro ATX Desktop Computer Case 420W Power Supply

Pros: - Good size, a bit more than i expected but its good because you really need space to put all that stuff inside. - Power Supply has no issues up till now, so no problems here. - Good Value if youre not a picky customer. - You don't know how much work that motherboard tray saves you. - The cooler of the CPU can be no taller than a Zalman CNPS7000 you barely have the room to put that in and after that installing you keep bumping with the cooler working with the cables. - The PSU cables are netted so its good for saving space. -Almost forgot, great service from newegg, all my computer parts came quickly and undamaged.

Cons: -Poor assembly: All the parts dont fit snug, for example when you take out the top it’s a bit hard to put it back in. -After putting all the components together the computer did NOT TURN ON!, I thought it was my power supply as many of people have already mentioned on the reviews here but I took everything out of the case and connected the PSU to the motherboard and just used the cable for the power switch and it worked, so after careful inspection I disassembled the front side to see the power switch and found that one cable for the switch had been damaged and was in direct contact with the metal of the case making it short when the PSU was installed so just had to isolate it and after reassembly everything worked perfect. I just hope that many people that changed their power supplies check their cables for the power switch. -The fans are not loud but it would help a lot if they were a bit more silent. -Longer cables for the 12v line would help.

Overall Review: Now that I know the possible quirks that can happen with this case I would buy again, it looks much nicer than tower cases, but people that want to buy should be aware of the problems and be ready. I’m still skeptical that the PSU is bad; I really like it, like I said before you guys have to double check your power switch cables.
