Pleased with size and performance

Pros: * Medium-sized mobile mouse feels just right in my hand without being too large for packing up with my laptop. * Tracks well on most any surface--wood, couch cushion, lap desk, denim, Formica. * Reliable pointing and scrolling. * No issues with flaky transmission under normal desktop/laptop operation (haven't used mouse to manage media center computer across the room). * It's one of the few nano-receiver mice I've seen to have a back button. * I can't misplace it when it's bright green. * Nano transceiver stores securely in the mouse.
Cons: * Scroll wheel does not make clicking noise. Not a deal-breaker, but it took me a while to get accustomed to a mouse wheel that doesn't click.
Overall Review: I'm completely satisfied with this mouse. I haven't observed any overheating issues with the nano dongle. I like the mouse so much, I might buy another for a different computer in the house.
Sending this one back

Pros: * Mouse, while large, feels nice in hand * Grips on side * True right-handed design
Cons: * No standard Win7 drivers, which means the forward/back buttons are non-functional * Very heavy * Tracking seems so-so
Overall Review: The packaging says this mouse is designed for OS X and WinXP; that's how long this mouse has been around. I'm sending this back. I don't know which I dislike the most--the weight or the lack of side buttons. For the price, I expect plug-and-play compatibility.
Wrist rest too stiff

Pros: * Good mousing surface. Doesn't pill.
Cons: * Place to rest my wrist is too stiff.
Overall Review: Is there a break-in period for this product? I have an older version of this same mouse pad and it's cushy. This one is too stiff. Mouse pad itself does the job--just that the wrist rest is uncomfortable
looks nice, but watch for static & dents

Pros: Although not quite the same color as in the photographs, it is still a cool green. The lights are a big bonus: very nice (maybe too bright for some). I appreciated the drive covers on the front; keeps the look clean. Relatively easy to work with. The side and top fans are a welcome addition for those of us who don't want to get too messy with our modding. Overall, it seemed like a good value.
Cons: 1. I've fried three mobos in the past year, and I *strongly* suspect this case was the reason. Something isn't grounded quite right. 2. Flimsy material. After two years of use, it is quite beat up and dented--and I'm not particularly hard on my cases. 3. Mobo tray doesn't properly fit my Gigabyte GA-K8NS. The standoffs don't match, and the mobo flexes when I'm connecting cables in certain areas. Not good.
Overall Review: I can't comment on the PSU; I got rid of that first thing (as well as the alien grills and side and top fans--one was lit, the other wasn't, WHY?). This case has served me relatively well, but I really think the thing is cursed with some bad static electricity juju. Now, as I'm replacing the mobo and the rest of the core for the third time, I'm getting rid of this case. I can't be certain that this was the root of my problems, but just to be sure, a new case is on order. In the end: Good-looking, mostly easy-to-work-with pre-modded case. Just don't expect miracles from it. It will get dented and scratched. I'd be wary of how it fits with other motherboards. The first 2 Gigabyte boards I had fit fine, but my newer one does not.
