Logitech MX Air Silver/Black 8 Buttons 2.4 GHz Cordless Laser Rechargeable Air Mouse
Logitech MX Air Silver/Black 8 Buttons 2.4 GHz Cordless Laser Rechargeable Air Mouse

Pros: works great, charges fast, droped it on my tile a few times and it didnt break, volume gesture is great, very comfortable, i can be standing, sitting, laying, lounging, dancing, whatever. much more freedom. I havent pluged in my regular logitech laser mouse since I got it.

Cons: still havent found a con after using it heavily for over 20 days

Overall Review: the other reviewer mentioned some squirlyness. I remember this also in the beginning, but i dont notice it anymore. not sure if it was wireless issue or it needed breaking in, but its steady and smooth now. I am a computer consultant/power user and still totally love this thing. when I use a regualar mouse it feels old school to me now hehe. I guess its not for everyone. you need steady hands and be good with change. there was a little bit of a learning curve in the beginning like trying to brush your teeth with your left hand, but now it feels very natural. Im hooked. thanks again logitech

good card

XFX Radeon HD 6950 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity HD695XZDDC
XFX Radeon HD 6950 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity HD695XZDDC

Pros: quiet and well built, good bang for the buck, fairly small/short, rock solid

Cons: 2gb ram would be nice, didnt see the dual bios switch, i think its single bios...

Overall Review: even at full load this card stays quiet....the auto fan is set to keep the card at about 69c at load... about perfect tuning in my opinion...good no brainer card to just leave the way it is without trying to tweak it... great job XFX.. i got a $30 rebate with it but i think i am not gonna send it in so xfx can keep it as a tip... especially since nvidia was mean to xfx we need to support their great quality ati cards...

ours worked :)

ASUS Radeon HD 6950 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity EAH6950 DCII/2DI4S/1GD5
ASUS Radeon HD 6950 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity EAH6950 DCII/2DI4S/1GD5

Pros: great all around card for the money this one was quiet thermals were good felt well built

Cons: from the other reviews looks like some DOA.. unless they are not using big enough power supplys... :)

Overall Review: this was not bought on my account but i installed it and tested it....

great dual core with big cache

AMD Phenom II X2 555 Black Edition - Phenom II X2 Callisto Dual-Core 3.2 GHz Socket AM3 80W Desktop Processor - C3 Revision - HDZ555WFGMBOX
AMD Phenom II X2 555 Black Edition - Phenom II X2 Callisto Dual-Core 3.2 GHz Socket AM3 80W Desktop Processor - C3 Revision - HDZ555WFGMBOX

Pros: i ordered 2 of these and both of them were able to overclock to 4ghz with 1.5v

Cons: could not get 4ghz with 1.4v and neither of the 2 chips would boot with 1 or 2 of the extra cores unlocked... even when clocked down to 2.4ghz... im not complaining.. as others have said, dont expect the other cores to work... more like a lucky bonus..

Overall Review: my phenom ii 720 triple core will only go to 3.5ghz at 1.5v and with all 4 cores about 3.2ghz... these new C3 revisions seem to have more headroom due to the increased efficiency.

i can confirm the mushkin ram issue

ASUS M4A785TD-M EVO AM3 AMD 785G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
ASUS M4A785TD-M EVO AM3 AMD 785G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: this is a good board.... i have built a few machines with this board and everything works with win 7 64 bit...

Cons: as some other posters have said, its unstable with the mushkin blackline 7-7-7-20 ram... I tried 2 of the 4 gig sets in a few of these boards and no matter what timings and voltage i use, its not 100% stable.... you will get random lock ups...

Overall Review: as others have said if you up the voltage it helps but it is still not 100%.... the CORSAIR XMS3 DHX memory works 100% stable but that memory doesnt overclock as good as the mushkin... I also tried all the bios updates etc.. with the new ddr3 ram that seems to be pickier than the seemingly rock solid ddr2, i think it would be smart to use one of the approved ram profiles for the board you are using....

there is a reason for limited production

OCZ Vertex LE (Limited Edition) 2.5" 200GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) OCZSSD2-1VTXLE200G
OCZ Vertex LE (Limited Edition) 2.5" 200GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) OCZSSD2-1VTXLE200G

Pros: this is the fastest drive right now... even beats the intel x-25m....

Cons: price

Overall Review: the reason they are only making a limited amount is because the controller is too expensive and they got a deal on this limited batch of these superfast controllers... otherwise they would be even more expensive...
