Most Favorable Review

Quiet, no surprises

Rosewill ARC Series, ARC 550, 550W Non-Modular Power Supply, 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified, Single +12V Rail, SLI & CrossFire Ready, Black

Pros: Easily installed in an old Antec case, all cables were of sufficient length for a mid-tower mini atx. After a week of burn in no problems detected, all voltages are nominal and it's very quiet.

Cons: No cons thus far.

Overall Review: I used this to replace an old Core2Duo system's PS and was happy that although it has many recent features it was also compatible with the older pinouts. Definitely would buy more if needed.

Pros: Everything in one box. The mouse was bigger than I expected. It was cheap.

Cons: Really sensitive dongle. Much smaller than the Microsoft Comfort Keyboard (original model) it replaced. Tiny F keys.

Overall Review: I've had nothing but trouble with the USB dongle on this set. I feel like an old man playing with tin foil and rabbit ears moving it around to get a smooth communication established. Works great when it works. I have large hands, and this is a tad small, just enough to give my palms cramps. Ambidextrous mouse is kind of uncomfortable but large enough to give decent support. It's tough buying a keyboard without being able to actually lay hands on it.
