Most Favorable Review

Not too shabby

Cooler Master 4-in-3 Device Module Cage
Cooler Master 4-in-3 Device Module Cage

Pros: It does everything that it needs to, converts 3 5.25" bays to 4 3.5" bays with a nice 120mm fan in front.

Cons: Nothing I can't handle :)

Overall Review: The blue LED lights in the fan could be annoying but luckily I have some extra 120mm fans without the lights to replace it with. To people that say the bays are too close, well not really any closer than standard bays and with the fan in front it doesn't matter anyway since the drives will be nice and cool.

Most Critical Review

Not impressed

ASUS P5K DELUXE/WIFI-AP LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS P5K DELUXE/WIFI-AP LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: It has a fast memory interface and great heatpipe design

Cons: DO NOT USE THE WINDOWS UPDATE UTILITY IN ANY x64 SYSTEM. I have to RMA to Asus now from a failed Vista x64 bios update. The PCI express slots are 16x and 4x no matter what.... not even 8x 8x just 16 and 4, not what I expected for the $$$. The wireless antenna that the package kind of isn't the best either, search for other solution

Overall Review: Okay so the bad bios flash is almost my fault but then why do they offer a utility that will not allow you to even restore the original bios? Kind of disappointed with Asus and if problems persist I will be switching to Gigabyte. Will see when RMA returns.

Good enough

XIGMATEK Secure III Extreme Speed Docking Station CPH-SPHET-U08 2.5" & 3.5" Black USB 3.0 6.0GB
XIGMATEK Secure III Extreme Speed Docking Station CPH-SPHET-U08 2.5" & 3.5" Black USB 3.0 6.0GB

Pros: Interfaces with SATA 3.5 and 2.5 drives.

Cons: This unit is really cheaply made, there is absolutely nothing to add to the weight to at least make it feel like a proper paperweight.

Overall Review: It does what it needs to do but really.... it's cheap.

Great mouse

RAZER DeathAdder RZ01-00151400-R3U1 Black Wired Optical Precision Gaming Mouse - 3.5G Infrared Sensor
RAZER DeathAdder RZ01-00151400-R3U1 Black Wired Optical Precision Gaming Mouse - 3.5G Infrared Sensor

Pros: Really precise, fast, good coating on mouse buttons, wrapped cord.

Cons: Not great depending on how you hold the mouse and use it. For someone with a claw grip I would recommend a copperhead instead.

HUUUUUUGE!!!

XTRAC PADS Fat Mat Mouse Pad

Pros: This mousepad is massive. The overall thickness of the material really helps to smooth uneven surfaces.

Cons: None yet.

Overall Review: Great tracking. Huge area.

Very nice

ARCTIC F12 PWM PST - Standard Low Noise PWM Controlled Case Fan with PST Feature
ARCTIC F12 PWM PST - Standard Low Noise PWM Controlled Case Fan with PST Feature

Pros: Good fan for the price, offers PWM. Used as replacement for CNPS9700. Had to hack and slash to make it fit but I knew that. The fan is nearly silent and moves enough air to keep things cool.

Cons: It's a fan....

Overall Review: Comes with some sort of odd adapter to integrate as a second fan for a PWM controlled HSF.
