Very Pleased!

XTRAC PADS Ripper Mouse Pad
XTRAC PADS Ripper Mouse Pad

Pros: Bigger than I realized! Should have put a tape rule to my desk. But not a problem really. Just more real estate than I needed in a mouse pad. It works GREAT! Without changing any mouse settings my pointer is noticeably faster and more accurate. Very slick top surface. My mouse glides effortlessly and it doesn't chafe my wrist. Great Price!

Cons: Bottom of pad does not have a lot of 'Stiction'. I have a slick, wood desk top. The pad does not move so I'm not complaining. Just saying that if you need a pad that REALLY stays put on a very slick surface, this one might move a bit on you. Not really a 'Con' at all. It's just a very big pad. You could cut it in 1/2 and have 2 standard sized pads. If you want BIG then this is the pad for you.

Overall Review: No way to tell about longevity at this point but appears to be well made. Typically, these soft cushion pads don't last as long as the hard pads. But I should be able to get a year out of it (I spend a lot of time each day on the computer).

Pros: I love the keyboard layout. Nice touch and feel. Just the right amount of sticksion on the wrist pad.

Cons: This is my 2nd set and neither work well. I can't put the dongle in the rear port of my desktop or the system becomes unusable. If I get more than 18" away from the port the keyboard starts dropping letters and the mouse lags so bad it's pathetic. I've updated everything to the latest software, no change. I've tried combinations of my 2 different sets, no change. It is very frustrating when you're typing and letters are dropped on a regular basis. Really maddening when you're trying to log into something with a Password. I have to watch to see that each key stroke gets an asterisk to be sure I'm able to log in. If it worked, even out 3 feet I'd be thrilled. But they don't and I'm not..... Good luck with yours. If it works you'll be very happy with the build, quality and function.

Zotac GT 630

Pros: Great card for the money. Fits in my very restricted Dell 530s case. It's tight but it fits. Quiet, of course, DUH! No fan! How is it going to make any noise!? Runs very cool. Especially for a no-fan card. I've been able to get it to 47c max. Low power requirement and runs everything I'm doing, no problem.

Cons: Only down side is that it won't do what a much more expensive card will do. But then that's to be expected. I agree that you're not going to get a better value at anywhere near this price.

Overall Review: Longevity is another issue that I can't address. But video cards are typically pretty bullet proof. If looks are any indication, this Zotac will go the distance.
