Nice Wireless Keyboard & Mouse

Logitech RF Wireless Combo MK240 12 Function Keys 2.4GHz 1000DPI Both Hands Spill-resitant Keyboard and Mouse-Black/White
Logitech RF Wireless Combo MK240 12 Function Keys 2.4GHz 1000DPI Both Hands Spill-resitant Keyboard and Mouse-Black/White

Pros: - Works great. No noticeable lag. Keys feel nice. - Extremely easy to set up (just plug in USB stick) - Have not tested spill-proof design, but a nice extra.

Cons: - None so far at 1 month's use.

Overall Review: Bought this to use with my living room Windows 7 media center. The small form keyboard is perfect for using on your lap. Mouse works great on nearly all surfaces without need for mouse pad (fabric couch, glossy end table, etc.). Highly recommend.

Most Critical Review

Terrible Product. Stopped Working after a Few Days!

TP-LINK TL-WN822N Wireless N300 High Gain USB Adapter, 300 Mbps, Dual 3dBi External Antennas, w/ WPS Button, IEEE 802.1b/g/n, WEP / WPA / WPA2, Plug & Play in Windows 10 (32 bit & 64 bit)
TP-LINK TL-WN822N Wireless N300 High Gain USB Adapter, 300 Mbps, Dual 3dBi External Antennas, w/ WPS Button, IEEE 802.1b/g/n, WEP / WPA / WPA2, Plug & Play in Windows 10 (32 bit & 64 bit)

Pros: - Initial setup was simple - Seemed to work fine

Cons: - Made my system completely unstable. Constant BSOD crashes after ~30 minutes of use. - Updating to latest drivers does not solve issue with crashes. - After restarting computer, Windows refuses to accept this device. When plugged it, device is detected and then rejected (gives dismissive error tone). Only solution was to completely uninstall and reinstall drivers. But issue reoccurs after the next restart.

Overall Review: This adapter has been nothing but a headache. I would NOT recommend this product to anyone. Does not work on Windows 7. Maybe if you run a different OS you might have better luck. Sorry, but I should not have to contact customer service to get a plug-and-play device to work.

Great deal for price and size

EDIMAX BR-6258n IEEE 802.11b/g/n Wireless Nano Size Multi-purpose Travel Router/ Range Extender/ Universal Adapter, Small Size Easy To Carry, iQ-Setup for Hassel Free Installation, and Power Fed by PC/Laptop USB port Supported

Pros: I used this while living in a one-room apartment, and it worked great for my needs. The device itself is very small, yet handled 3 devices well. For travel and small living spaces, this will do a great job.

Cons: My connection dropped on occasion (3-4 times per month), but a quick reset of the router resolved the problem.

Overall Review: The router itself is lighter than the cables you connect to it, so it doesn't really sit flat on any surface (especially if your ethernet cables are kinked or twisted). Mine always hovered a few centimeters off the surface of my desk (a minor inconvenience for an OCD person like myself).

Modular is the way to go!

Rosewill CAPSTONE Series, CAPSTONE-650-M, 650W Semi-Modular Power Supply, 80 PLUS GOLD Certified, Single +12V Rail, SLI & CrossFire Ready, Black
Rosewill CAPSTONE Series, CAPSTONE-650-M, 650W Semi-Modular Power Supply, 80 PLUS GOLD Certified, Single +12V Rail, SLI & CrossFire Ready, Black

Pros: The modular design really cuts down on the clutter inside the case (which could possibly improve airflow and therefore cooling). The cables are long enough to reach any corner of my large case (Coolermaster Cosmos) and wrapped in a mesh which improves the look and feel over typical power supply cables. This PSU has been powering my machine for many months now with no problems. All of my components get consistent and adequate power (as far as I can tell).

Cons: None

Overall Review: I doubt I will ever buy a non-modular PSU again!

Solid Fans

COUGAR Vortex PWM 120mm (CF-V12HP) Cooling Fan with Hydro-Dynamic Bearing and Pulse Width Modulation (Orange Version)
COUGAR Vortex PWM 120mm (CF-V12HP) Cooling Fan with Hydro-Dynamic Bearing and Pulse Width Modulation (Orange Version)

Pros: These fans move A LOT of air. The sound from these fans is due to the airflow they cause rather than vibrations of the fan itself. Out of the box, these fans look and feel sturdy and of high-quality. I will definitely be buying more Cougar fans next time. After replacing my stock fans with these, my idle case temps dropped 10 C down to just above room temperature.

Cons: A minor issue: While the fans don't make much noise from their vibrations, there is a constant sound of air being pulled through the case which is actually louder than my previous stock fan were while idling or under low CPU/GPU load (a minor inconvenience which is easily made up for by the cooler temperatures).

Overall Review: I had no idea how to install the fans using the flexible (supposedly vibration-resistant) pins. I just used the traditional screws, though a simple diagram on how to use the pins would have been helpful. (Sure, I could have just googled it.)
