Pros: Excellent value for a gigabit switch. 8 ports, runs cool. This is the second switch in this line I have bought, the other is a 5 port and has been running very well.
Cons: It wasn't free?
Overall Review: The reviewer that said it slows everything down to 100M just by connecting a 100M device has no idea what they are talking about or has a defective unit. Transfers to/from 100M devices can only go 100M, that's a given. But transfers between 1G devices will go 1G. I have verified that myself. This 8 port is connected to a 24 port 100M switch and to various 1G devices. If I do a test between 2 1G computers, I get 1G speeds. If I go to or from a 100M device, I get 100M. I get 918Mbit/sec between 2 linux boxes through this and the 5 port version mentioned above with gigabit cards in both. That's going through 2 switches. That's raw speed only, of course, but it shows that I can in fact transfer data that fast. In short, ignore the other review claiming otherwise. This switch works exactly as an ethernet switch should.
Excellent Mouse

Pros: Extremely responsive. Good feel, lots of buttons. It's also very configurable with the included software, and stores the configs so you don't have to install anything on the computers you connect it to. Very nice feature. Corded. Wireless is great, till you are in an office with 100 other people trying to use wireless keyboards and such. Nothing like having other people's keyboards type on your computer.
Cons: I wish it were a little bigger, my little finger tries to slide off the side. Not a big deal, it still feels quite nice. More weights would be nice too. For some reason, I like my mouse to be heavy.
Overall Review: Overall, I'm very impressed. Feels as good as any other mouse I've ever bought, far more responsive and configurable and significantly less expensive than others I looked at with similiar features. If it holds up well to the abuse I give computer parts, I'll be buying more of them.
Supported DVD-RW

Pros: Someone asked for a DVD drive that fits properly. I used this LG and it's working great. Newegg item #N82E16827136149. The button on the case lines up fine and I didn't have to mod anything to make it work.
Cons: Get an SATA data and power cable with right-angle connectors on the drive side. They do get a little close to the CPU heatsink (stock X2 3800+ HSF). Mobo is Asus M2N78-VM cheap Kingston 2GB dual channel RAM kit. Everything fits in there, just a little tight.

Pros: Nice small design. The cables are all in the back, and two are detachable, nice feature since many 4 port KVMs seem to like to put them on all the different sides. How am I supposed to put that on my desk? Very reliable, switches cleanly. Now I just need to memorize all the shortcuts for switching just KVM or Audio. Works with Mac OSX and Linux just fine. For some reason, USB KVMs I have tried had problems doing that. Never had a problem with PS/2 KVMs.
Cons: Doesn't work with my Logitech wireless KB/mouse set. It does work with wired devices though. I think the problem is related to the fact that the wireless set uses only one USB connection. Would be nice if the KVM would work with it.
Overall Review: The incompatibility finally pushed me over the edge to buy a new KB. I've needed a nice one for a while now. The Keytronic I got is amazing, now I need a few more of them. Maybe that should be a con, made me want more keyboards. :)
Better than I expected

Pros: Excellent tracking. The mouse is VERY accurate and sensitive. I had to turn the sensitivity down a little to make it easier to control. Buttons feel good, not too hard to click, but not so easy you can't rest a finger on it either.
Cons: Forward and back are reversed from others I have used. Not a big deal, re-mappable in software. The grip could be a little nicer, but overall it's quite good.
Overall Review: It's hard to find a decent wired mouse. I've used some of the best wireless sets out there, but I keep coming back to wires for my KB and mouse. If I could get my Logitech MX-Laser in USB wired, it would be my preference. It has the nicest feel I have found in a mouse. This Rosewill is still quite good though. It could use some weight though, it's a little light.
Excellent KB

Pros: Great feel. The keys have a nice touch and you know when you have pressed them. It does this without being noisy like the old Model M keyboards people love so much. The feel is almost as good as those old beasts. The quiet is worth the trade though.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: I actually prefer this layout. It's the same as the old Focus FK-2000 I learned on, so it's familiar to me. I'll be buying more of them.
