Amazing

ASUS GeForce GTX 650 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Video Card GTX650-DCO-1GD5

Pros: Being able to play high end games with max setting and no lag has made me fall in love with this. Perfect for gamers looking for a decently priced graphics card.

Cons: It's pretty huge, I had to saw off some parts of my mini tower to fit it in, but it was worth it.

Pros: It works, you get what you pay for. Also pretty sturdy.

Cons: Mic is very short, almost have to tilt the headset off my ears for it to be close to my mouth. It is also very quiet, people I am chatting with are constantly asking me to repeat myself and saying it sounds like I am far away from the mic.

Overall Review: Better off saving for a $40+ headset then trying to risk something like this. Learned my lesson.

Very Cute

Pros: It's pink. And it's tiny. What more could you ask for? The real pink is more of a hot pink, but I personally like it more this way.

Cons: It arrived damaged, with the package unsealed. Resulted with a huge crack in one of the windows. It was like someone dropped it, it rolled out, and they just stuffed it back in. Due to time and money, I couldn't risk returning it and waiting another week or more to get a new one. So I just dealt with it. Doesn't effect the effectiveness of the case at all, but I am still going to report how AWFUL it was shipped and handled.

Overall Review: Had to saw off some of the insides to fit my graphics card in. It wasn't a hassle, but just wanted to point it out.

Loving It

TP-LINK TL-WDN4800 Dual Band Wireless N900 PCI Express Adapter, 2.4 GHz 450 Mbps / 5 GHz 450 Mbps, IEEE 802.1a/b/g/n, WEP / WPA / WPA2, Plug & Play in Windows 8

Pros: Suuuuper fast, I've never had a connection this fast using my old wireless adapter. I download things at least 3x faster now. Definitely worth every penny.

Cons: Absolutely none.

Spacebar Problems

Pros: Love the keys, setup just like a laptop. And no room for getting dust or food stuck in between them is a huge plus. Slim is definitely the way to go.

Cons: If you don't type properly (ex. the "chicken peck" style) then you're going to have a very hard time with the space bar. It only seems to work if you hit it close to the middle and with enough force. So if you're even remotely used to using the sides then expectyour sentencestolook likethis all the time.

Overall Review: Wireless would make this even better, but it's still great.

Not as good as old one

Pros: Convenient when you don't have much room to move a normal mouse around. And it looks cool. Buttons don't stick or anything like that.

Cons: The cursor lags, A LOT, all the time. I use it to play games as well, and the first time I used it in one, it was lagging so bad I couldn't play. Then my inner ragequitter just smacked it on the desk and it worked fine. I don't think this would be a very good long term solution though. Even as I write this review it's difficult to click on the text boxes because it's lagging all over the place. Pfffff.

Overall Review: I had the old wired version a few years ago and it never let me down. Pretty disappointed overall now. I wish I could return it easier, but it's not worth the hassle.
