Nice and Quiet
Pros: It is quiet compared to other burners I have had at full spin up.
Cons: None so far
Overall Review: It is just another burner. I have not had any problems with it.
Not that happy
Pros: It sounds really good when it works. I didn't have any trouble installing it, but then most things are a lot easier to install now days.
Cons: Drivers are very flaky It worked for about 2 months but then it just would give out a loud noise. I have uninstalled it 5 time now in about 6 months and every time it would work for a few days then boom either no sound or the awful noise that is very hard to pinpoint what is causing it. Even the WHM driver you get from Microsoft are flaky. I am using Windows Vista Ultimate.
Overall Review: I put my old Sound Blaster Audigy that I have had for years and never had a lick of problems. I think this is more trouble for the price you pay for it.
Cool but big
Pros: This case is one of the better cases I have owned. You have plenty of room to work with. The HDD bays are in sideways so you can hide the cables and have better cable management. The case is well built but this adds to the weight. The side panels are on a hing and swing open. You can also take the side panels off while you are working with the case putting it together.
Cons: It is big and heavy but then I knew that when I bought it. putting a 120mm fan in the top front space is a pain as the fan controler panel covers part of the spot up. You will want to buy some long SATA cables. I have 18" cables and it was a tight fit for a couple of my drive bays.
Overall Review: I have a Cosmos I and the mother board quit working. I had bought this case for my new build that I am saving up for so I decided to buy a new motherboard and processor for the old case. I liked this case a lot better so I striped out the Cosmos I and put everything in this case. It has a better design than the older model. Now I will have to buy another case for my new build.
Love the mouse
Pros: Great mouse as you can set different mouse speeds up and depending on when your doing you can just either speed it up or down with the click of a button. The weights are great. You can get the right feel and pressure with the weights. You just have to play with the weights a little bit until you get the feel that you want. All I can say is this is an AWESOME mouse.
Cons: None as of right now.
Overall Review: It may take you a few days to weeks to figure out the weight that you want but it is well worth it. The scrolling is pretty cool. You can either have it locked so when you scroll it will do one line at a time or unlock the wheel and the page just scrolls down fast. Great for Facebook. Well worth the money.
