Works as expected!

SAPPHIRE 100925 Active Mini Display Port (M) to Single-Link DVI (F) Cable
SAPPHIRE 100925 Active Mini Display Port (M) to Single-Link DVI (F) Cable

Pros: Works as expected, actively converting a mini DP to a DVI for eyefinity type setups.

Cons: none!

Overall Review: Purchased this on accident to be honest, I meant to purchase the regular sized DP since my primary card doesn't have a mini DP out, just 2 DVI, an HDMI, and a DP out... lucky me, the second card does so I swapped them around, but hardware issues are stopping the MoBo from recognizing the second card =/. Unfortunately, no where near where I live happens to carry DP to DVI actives, or a DP to mini DP adapter (They have a ton of the opposites, but that doesn't help me). Not gonna mark the product down for me being in a rush to order, that's my bad, and I'll hold onto it for future use and order the right one.

Good idea, bad execution.

Razer Naga Molten MMO PC Gaming Mouse

Pros: Great aesthetic look to it, love the pulse effect. Num Pad on the side took some getting used to but is a great idea and execution. Very responsive, high DPI makes this great for high res. on MMO's as a healer or certain DPS classes.

Cons: Broke within 2 weeks of receiving. The forward and back buttons are poorly placed, making you really reach for them, sucks if you have a key-bind to them that needs to be hit in a hurry. Like I said, 2 weeks after receiving it (Not from Newegg), it sounded like the board inside that controls the mouse snapped off and was bouncing around inside of the mouse. Very poor construction and quality control

Overall Review: The mouse worked great while it lasted, I got used to the num pad on the side (Trust me, that will take a few hours to get used to). And loved the mouse, I don't spam things, I primarily heal so the stress on this mouse is no more than what I'd put on a cheap $20 mouse from Logitech for a laptop. I came home from my classes one day (My room stays locked and I'm the only one with a key to it), turned on my comp to burn a few quests out of the way before my raid, and my mouse was unresponsive, I checked the USB connection, uninstalled/re installed the drivers on 3 or 4 different ports. I grabbed the mouse to pull it away from the monitor (Picked it up to put it to the side so I could plug in my current wireless one), and heard a rattling like a main-board inside the mouse snapped off and rattled around inside. Already returned the mouse for being defective and am likely to NEVER buy another Razer product again. Several guildies have had the same issue with other Razer mice. Poor Quality.

MoBo failed one year out of the box

Pros: Affordable price, easy to read BIOS and config

Cons: Short lifespan, cheaply made.

Overall Review: I bought this MoBo almost 2 months after I bought my current computer (which has no original components at this point except the case and cd drive) to replace the one that was inside due to lack of expansion (namely, no PCI-e slots.) Overall that was a touch over a year ago. All went well with the board over the last year, until this week when the entire board went belly up and refused to work with me at all. Had to buy a new one, and bought a new CPU at the same time to boost performance.... overall if you're looking for a decent board to get you by, and not cost an arm and a leg, this one will probably suit you pretty well.
