Great mouse, Good price

Pros: Good weight. good sensitivity. Easy sensitivity adjustment. Good DPI adjustment button location.
Cons: Side buttons need to have a little more resistance, its too easy to push them without even feeling it.
Overall Review: CM needs to design this mouse in a longer version. my hand is average length, and the palm of my hand almost doesnt touch the mouse without my fingers hanging over the front. CM should make a long board model of each mouse they have and see what the consumer likes. I will bet longer versions of mice would sell better.
I give up

Pros: Small
Cons: They have changed the software "Smart Ware" for this item every few months. When they do that, it no longer works. then you have to go and find the new software and install it, which is never as easy as it is supposed to be. This item is the most updated item i have in my computer. Everytime i want to do a simple backup, it takes about an hour to find, install software, then backup my computer. CDs take less time. Today, i tried it and it doesnt work. So, i go to their web site to see if there is any new software, and wouldnt ya know it, their support website is down.
Overall Review: The "update software" button is grayed out, so that doesnt work. Its supposed to be "Plug and Play", but i get "plug and nothing" too often. It worked fine for the first two months, then it has been nothing but finding updates evertime i want to do an update, or trying to figure out why it wont just "auto start" like its supposed to. Maybe someday when they get their software situation figured out ill try it again, but untill then, No thanks.
Not a good idea, Must Read

Pros: Initially, i thought it was a good card. Sound quality is good
Cons: From the start, drivers were a big issue. Then, after installing it, i found out that the cable that connects to the front panel audio is bogus. They have wired it so that it really only works with their own front panels instead of industry standard. So, you wont be able to use the front panel audio on your PC Case. Next, there doesnt seem to be a fix for a driver issue between Team Speak 3 and these audio cards. This alone is not a deal breaker issue, unless, you consider that the whole Creative community has been asking for fixes to problems like this for a long, long time. Creative is silent on any help. you are on your own.
Overall Review: Google "Creative X-fi problems" and see what you come up with, and how long ppl have been posting about Creative problems.
Bad Customer Service

Pros: Does its job well.
Cons: I bought this exact drive 4 months ago. It died. Dont know why, there doesnt seem to be a pattern of these dying early. So, I replaced it with an identical LG Drive. It is working fine. What isni working fine is LG customer support. It has been OVER A MONTH of trying to get someone to get this return completed.
Overall Review: I have the RMA, but the file they sent me containing "Return Shipping Instructions" was blank. There wasnt anything in it. So after several attempts to contact LG and get the instructions sent to me, Here it sits. Still on my desk. LG even sent me a "How Was Your Customer Service Experiance?" Email. I told them everything along with the dates and who i contacted. I Still have not heard back from them. LG customer service is a joke. If you have a problem with an item, dont expect to get it replaced by LG before you get old. I have already bought a new one. I recomend ASUS. Ive heard they have good customer support.
Buy This Case!

Pros: The combo deal was Sweet! Buy the Case and get the Coolmaster 900w power supply for a few bucks more. I saved a hundred bucks by buying them togeather. I love this case with the blue led fans, and the power supply that comes with the combo deal is a serious heavy hitter at 900w. The space inside the case is larger than I expected. I had a concern abour fitting Cool Masters V8 CPU cooler in the board and it not coming to close to the side of the case. (The V8 CPU Cooler is Tall) But it still has plenty of room to spare.
Cons: The usb and audio ports on the front are a plus for me cause my old case didnt have them on the front, the down side comes in in the placement of them being right on the front top of the case. You have to pay attention to what youre doing or the disc tray will eat any cables you have coming out of the front ports. (Broken disc tray doors dont look cool).
Overall Review: The front usb/audio ports are such a minor distraction that my advice is still get this case. it would be nice to see Cool Master move them to the lower front or even the left and right side of the case though.
