Pros: The paint is not flat. It has a shiny, appealing look. The included hard drive mounts were easy to use and proved effective in keeping my hard drive stable. The case came with two media drive covers which was a great relief. It gives the case a consistent style. The side connections are nice to have. I am always using them. The two included fans are fairly silent. The blue side fan is quite bright.

Cons: The only reason I didn't give this five eggs is because of the HD bay. Getting the 6 pin power cable connected to my graphics card was a PAIN. I had to cut back some plastic protective coating from the wires to make it work. This was using the ATI 4850. If you have a shorter graphics card this probably won't be an issue. However, today's cards tend to all be long.

Overall Review: I am satisfied with the case for the most part. Just take into consideration how close to the hard drive bay your 6 pin connector for your graphics card will come. It could be a problem.

Pros: The drive came already formatted to NTFS. I'm not sure if this should be expected or not, but regardless it saved me time. The enclosure looks very nice. It is attractive enough to set among the other tech gadgets that may populate your desk area. Packaging was also adequate. Transfers on the eSATA connection are more than satisfactory. I have not yet used the USB 2.0. Drive is very quiet. I am impressed with that. Drive also never gets past "warm". The drive is ventilated.

Cons: I have three problems with this product. First problem: upon moving the enclosure around, not violently mind you, the drive inside shakes much more than I would like. Perhaps it is just my drive, but it isn't hard to make sure a drive stays put inside an enclosure. Second problem: It's not as sturdy as I would like. If you have this product setting on a desk or some other flat surface it can easily be knocked over. If it is disturbed while the needle is in use, obviously, you could be in trouble. Third: 465Gb is the actual space available. 35Gb's gone seems a bit much to me, but I have a feeling the larger the capacity of the drive the more is taken away for...whatever reason.

Overall Review: Regardless of the cons I am satisfied with my purchase. Hopefully it will last at least a few years. It was discouraging trying to find a External drive with USB 2.0 and ESATA. I have noticed a lot of the eSATA drives on Newegg have many reviews reporting failures at random. I hope this does not do the same.

Pros: All top surfaces of the mouse have a finish that is soft, smooth, and gives a satisfactory grip. It also looks very attractive, in my opinion. The left and right mouse buttons are seamless, meaning the buttons are not seen. I like this feature, for aesthetics, a seamless feel, and less ways for foreign objects to get in. The roller is completely silent, which may not seem like a big deal, but if you have ever used a really loud one you might understand how annoying it can become. The roller has six DPI settings from least to most sensitive that is indicated by very effective multi-colored LED underneath the roller. From lowest to highest DPI the colors are clear, green, yellow, red, red green flashing, and yellow green flashing. I never use the red "Triple treat" button in games. Personally I want control over ever shot I fire. However, when in/on the desktop I find myself using it often as I don't have to double click icons. Call me lazy, but I like it.

Cons: The click sound is a bit loud, but this is minor amongst all of the other positives. I'm just very critical. The mouse isn't perfectly symmetrical. The left side of the mouse has a soft rubber grip for the thumb whereas the right side does not. The right side also has more of an indention for the pinky finger. This mouse is really for right handed people. Perhaps a left handed version will be released. I doubt it. For the price it would be nice if a mouse pad was included. Perhaps I'm to cheap.

Overall Review: Important: I am using Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit edition. The mouse was recognized within five seconds and has been working great since. I never used the included CD because I didn't need to. One feature, however, doesn't work. That is the front and back buttons on the left side. This is no problem for me because I've always found those buttons troublesome on any mouse. I'm glad they are not active. The long and thin wire is worth noting. I didn't give wires notice until this one. It's very light and small so I don't feel like I have an opposite force to pull against. It's a plus. I have used the Logitech G5 and I much prefer the feel and look of the Equalizer. Overall, this, to me, is a great quality mouse. An excellent feel and the extra features make this a winner. This price is just right too.
