One of the Best Gaming Mouse

SteelSeries Ikari Gray-Black 5 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired Optical Mouse
SteelSeries Ikari Gray-Black 5 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired Optical Mouse

Pros: Superb Optical tracking, great hold. Simple software bundle, not too many things to tinker around.

Cons: None really.

Overall Review: I had been using the Logtiech G5 before I bought this, and the G5 is laser, it is no doubt a great mouse, but this one has better tracking for fps games, I'm a regular at CSS and this mouse kicks a**. I have certainly improved my game. I'm a medium - high sensitivity user and I have to use it on the highest CPI. It doesnt have too many setting to tweak and doesn't software to remember last used cpi. You might take some time getting used to it, but its well worth it. The grip is comfortable and you can play for decent time without your hand aching.

Most Critical Review

Results are not close to whats being advertised.

ASUS PCE-AC88 AC3100 4x4 802.11AC PCIe Adapter
ASUS PCE-AC88 AC3100 4x4 802.11AC PCIe Adapter

Pros: -Nice magnetic stand to keep the antennas placed on the cabinet. -Nicely packaged.

Cons: -Link speed doesn't get close to 2166Mbps, the advertised maximum with 100% signal strength. -Most expensive Wifi Network adaptor -Works as fast and as much as the TP-LINK Archer T8E AC1750 ($59), which is less then half its price. DONT waste your money on this.

Overall Review: I'm using this adaptor with a Netgear Nighthawk R8500 with the same 1024 QAM proprietory Broadcom tech as in this adaptor , will the latest firmware, connecting to its low channel, active antenna connected 5ghz network. Signal Strength is seen @100% and link speed never gets close to its advertised 2166mbps, the best I've seen is 1.4gbps, which usually is seen for a few seconds before it settles down to 1.1gbps. The router and the computer are less then 15 feet away.For the cost and advertising its a big fail. Very disappointed in this device at the price it is being sold. I might as well spend less then half the price and keep the TP link adaptor mentioned above for the exact same performance.

Totally worth the money

MSI Radeon HD 6950 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity R6950 Twin Frozr II
MSI Radeon HD 6950 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity R6950 Twin Frozr II

Pros: Unlocked the cards, and both card go upto 940/1425 thats a bit beyond 6970, 2 cards cost $560, just a bit more then a overclocked GTX 580, and perform close a GTX 580 SLI, A tri fire would obliterate a GTX 580 SLI, but you do need a cpu that will push this generation of gfx cards.

Cons: The custom cooler is not as sturdy has reference design, meaning it almost hangs a bit off the card, but nothing serious.

Overall Review: Both cards are good overclockers, before unlocking I could take the cards to 950/1250 on stock volts, which is very impressive.

A sturdy just 17" capable backpack

Kensington 17" SaddleBag Sport Notebook Backpack Model 62232
Kensington 17" SaddleBag Sport Notebook Backpack Model 62232

Pros: A very sturdy bag, I have been using it for more than 2.5yrs now, and its still pretty good, I bought it for my e1705, which would fit in just about, stretching the bag to its max. However it was still able to provide adequate protection.

Cons: I would place this bag in a xl 15"-16" notebook backpack category. Or for an slim 17" notebook, like a 17" macbook pro..

Overall Review: Well worth the money.

Awesome PSU

CORSAIR HX Series CMPSU-1000HX 1000 W ATX12V 2.2 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply
CORSAIR HX Series CMPSU-1000HX 1000 W ATX12V 2.2 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply

Pros: Superb PSU, It can handle my system, the configuration is in other thoughts. The PSU is rated to give rated power at 50C, unlike most psu's which do it at 25c, and which is often surpassed in normal real life situations. This PSU could handle stress up to 70C in Jonnyguru review for this psu. This psu has actually got 2 driving circuits and a huge 140mm fan which takes care of it, no matter what you throw at it.

Cons: None!!

Overall Review: QX9650 @ 4Ghz, 3 x GTX 280 TRI SLI @ 700/1458/2650, EVGA 780i F-T-W, OCZ 2x2Gb Flex II @ 1190Mhz 5-4-4-12, I dont think you can stress it more with normal day to day configurations. Most 1200W PSU's aren't better than this. The quality of this PSU's surpasses many well to do psu's!

Sweet Deal

EVGA GeForce 9800 GTX+ 512MB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Video Card 512-P3-N871-AR
EVGA GeForce 9800 GTX+ 512MB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Video Card 512-P3-N871-AR

Pros: Awesome card for the price, equal or faster than a 8800gtx in most scenarios, 65nm, Runs really cool, huge overclocking headroom. 2/3 way sli ready. You can run 2 of these cards in SLI under $550 and it will be faster than 1 GTX280 @ $650!

Cons: The card is huge! I mean just make sure ur case can accomodate this giant card.

Overall Review: Dont go for factory overclocked cards, I bought 2 of these and with adequate cooling inside a Antec 900, I can run them 100% stable on 850/2500 Mhz, thats a huge overclock. System: QX9650/EVGA 780i/2x9800gtx/OCZ Flex II 4gb/TT 120/Antec 900/ Corsair TX750
