Wonderful
Pros: Goldilocks keys - not too firm, not too soft; action is quiet enough to not bother my roommate. More hotkeys than I know what to do with. Good quality. Great price.
Cons: Zoom is a little gimmicky. Intellitype software doesn't allow for full customizability of hotkeys - use something like AutoHotKey instead. Not a curve/wave model (my preference).
Overall Review: I was wonderfully surprised to see that the keyboard remembers the F-Lock key status (Google if you're unfamiliar with this problem) between reboots/power outages, even when hooked up via USB - I dunno how they do that short of an internal battery. Overall, I can't complain - even disregarding the price I can't think of any shortcomings.
Pros: Cheap
Cons: Defective: did not boot at SPD and failed memory tests at 166MHz. RMA'ed.
Strong signal, weak stand
Pros: My apartment gets almost no OTA signal, but this antenna managed to get 7 stations at (nearly) full quality. For the price, I haven't seen performance anywhere nearly this good. The antenna is compact and actually doesn't look ugly, and the amplifier is a separate component, so you can hook it up to any 75 Ohm coaxial antenna.
Cons: The antenna's base is very small, so it easily tips over.
Worked for me
Pros: Seasonic OEM design, modular cables, quiet. 500w of continuous power is more than I will ever need.
Cons: I didn't get bitten by the compatibility issue, but I had to add an extra hard drive to my S754 system before there was enough load to make the thing stay on at boot. Antec apparently has a very proactive replacement policy for incompatible NeoHE's.
Overall Review: The NeoHE430 was reviewed on Silent PC Review, and got great marks for efficiency and quietness. In all honesty, no system short of an overclocked quad-SLI, quad-core monster will ever draw more than 500W or so at full load. This PSU provides great stability and efficiency all the way to the top, and any high quality ~500W PSU will do the same.
Quiet when undervolted
Pros: Good airflow, essentially silent when undervolted to 5v, quiet at 7v. Noise is noticeable but not annoying at the regular 12v. Comes with pass-through adapters for both 3 and 4 pin power.
Cons: I'm sure you could find quieter fans if you looked around for a long time.
Overall Review: Google for a free undervolting method using the 4-pin molex power plugs. I have two of these fans @ 5v in my Antec Solo, drawing air through the front. They basically keep my 3 hard drives near room temperature.
Sinfully comfortable
Pros: Read the title, this mouse is like a shape-conforming pillow for my right hand. It glides perfectly on my cheapo mouse pad and is sensitive and accurate enough that I barely need to move my hand and still get perfect tracking. Think F-16 fighter side stick. The buttons and scroll wheel are positioned well and, very importantly, have just the right amount of tactile feedback/resistance.
Cons: I hate the SetPoint drivers - large memory footprint, and it somehow screws up the sensitivity settings every time I log into Windows Vista. No "tilt wheel," but you can easily map a button to do AutoScroll which is just as good. The mouse is big which could be a concern for those with small hands and/or constrained desk space.
Overall Review: I'm not a huge gamer although I do play a lot of FPS'es. This mouse, despite being billed for gamers, is great for anyone who needs a comfortable, accurate, full-featured mouse. I have not seen any difference in tracking ability between this and any more expensive laser/gaming mice that I have tried.
