Nice

Logitech G600 MMO Gaming Mouse, RGB Backlit, 20 Programmable Buttons
Logitech G600 MMO Gaming Mouse, RGB Backlit, 20 Programmable Buttons

Pros: Customizable, Dpi change on the fly, lots of buttons, matches well with a Logitech Gaming Keyboard, downloadable software, long braided cable, fits the hand well.

Cons: Tall. Ring finger button, and its not programable in profiles 1&2 as far as function and color shift. Light cuts off when pressing the G-Shift in profile 1. Light turns white when pressing g-shift in profile 2. THIS IS FACT, NO MATTER HOW YOU SET THE COLOR. this maybe fixed with a software update, have seen many post on the net about it already.

Overall Review: I'm coming from a logitech marathon mouse, this mouse is much taller and requires me to have my entire hand on top of it. I'm used to having my wrist drag the mat for some stability. <<This may not affect everyone. I could not fix the color "bug" in profiles 1&2 so i setteled with playing in profile for which has the ring button as dpi switch and not g-shift. <<completely fine with that. also i did not realize until now that i'm so used to pressing thumb mouse buttons that by default i close my ring finger and pinky to keep the mouse stable. << this cause me to press the ring button nearly everytime i press any other button, which lead me to default the ring button to NO ACTION. All in all it is a very nice mouse, will just take users some retraining to become comfortable with it.

Perfect

ICY DOCK Dual 2.5 SSD 1 x 3.5 HDD Device Bay to 5.25 Drive Bay Converter / Mount / Kit / Adapter - FLEX-FIT Trio MB343SP
ICY DOCK Dual 2.5 SSD 1 x 3.5 HDD Device Bay to 5.25 Drive Bay Converter / Mount / Kit / Adapter - FLEX-FIT Trio MB343SP

Pros: Black. makes use of unused 5.25. adds a 3.5. holds 2x 2.5 drives tool less.

Cons: none for me

Overall Review: I got this and added it to my NZXT Switch because it did not have a 3.5 bay and I had an SSD/USB3.0 hub that came with my mobo (asrock z87 extreme6). This thing did the trick. This item along with the hub from my mobo added 3 2.5 drive caddys in a single 5.25 unused bay. Big props for such a simple addition being able to add so much.

Cute

VisionTek Candyboard 900319 Black 69 Normal Keys USB RF Wireless Mini Keyboard
VisionTek Candyboard 900319 Black 69 Normal Keys USB RF Wireless Mini Keyboard

Pros: compact, rechargeable, backlit, well constructed, plug-n-play, keyboard, and mouse

Cons: compact. touchpad takes getting used too.

Overall Review: I use this as an HTPC controller and it serves its purpose fine. Touchpad takes some time to get used to as in the fact that the most miniscule of movements on the pad may transfer into about a foot and a half screen distance that the pointer moves.

Beast Board

ASRock Z87 Extreme6 LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASRock Z87 Extreme6 LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Its from an excellent brand. High quality. Very Cutting edge on their tech. Onboard power/reset are better manufactured than previos gens. Still has the CMOS button on the back I/O. Accepted every piece of hardware I plugged in to it without hesitation. Full Size, some asrock boards say they're full size but end before reaching the third set of mounts latterally. This one needs every standoff in my 810 switch. Very appealing to look at. 2 USB 3.0 internal headers. Bonus Power input for sli.

Cons: none. for everything you get on this board and for the price to be $30, $40, $50 cheaper than competitors with more recognizable names.

Overall Review: I'm a fanboy of asrock. Love what they do with there boards. So easy to work with. Still got the very first asrock board I ever bought, still works.

Radiator Fans?

Cooler Master SickleFlow 120 - Sleeve Bearing 120mm Blue LED Silent Fan for Computer Cases, CPU Coolers, and Radiators

Pros: CoolerMaster, weren't doa, good brand name, led, 3 pin., decent cable length.

Cons: not sleeved. some coolermaster fans come black sleeved, which i wish was a standard for their fans.

Overall Review: bought these for a radiator, there are better options out there. the led glow doesn't really match up to my other coolermaster fans of the same color, but still matches in color and very appealing.
