Most Favorable Review

Nice card

SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 4850 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card 100245HDMI
SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 4850 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card 100245HDMI

Pros: Runs wow@60-120fps on high settings(shader turned down), CrysisWh on gamer at 45fps and oblivion at 65 on high. Card runs cool, 35c idle and 50 during most games. During a stress test it topped out at 70c and stayed there. Gets a 6.5 in win7 experience index.

Cons: None at all.

Overall Review: In retrospect I should have gotten a 1g 4870 to tide me over till the dx11 cards but this was one helluva an upgrade from my 8600gts and the price was dead on.

Logitech G602 910-003820 11 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB RF Wireless Optical 2500 dpi Gaming Mouse
Logitech G602 910-003820 11 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB RF Wireless Optical 2500 dpi Gaming Mouse

Pros: Battery Life! On endurance mode, had it for two months and still using the same batteries. The software claims I still have more than half juice left. This is much better than my g700 or g700s which would chew through batteries in two and one day(s), respectively.

Cons: Two of the buttons are hard to click.

Overall Review: Rating it four until I see whether this one will develop a double click issue as quickly as the six g700 series mice had.

Pros: Writing an exit review now that I am finished using this mouse. Pros: Fits my hand nice, has plenty of customizable options and buttons, good weight and design for my claw grip. Logitech warranty service is very easy to work with.

Cons: Cons: Went through six mice in two years. First just stopped tracking, rest developed a double click within a few months or so.

Overall Review: Really loved this mouse's function and features. It is a shame that I cannot recommend this mouse nor will I be purchasing the newer model without knowing whether they solved their QC issues. Logitech warranty service was the only saving grace in this. Very easy, never gave me any trouble with replacement. I have quite the collection of nonfunctional g700 mice in my closet. Battery life isn't as bad as originally thought. Turns out that when the indicator shows red it will go on for many more hours before outright stopping. Still recommend buying a Sanyo charger with a couple of spares.

Pros: Looks nice, makes coffee quickly, coffee stays hot for more than four hours.

Cons: When using paper filters they sometimes end up sliding a bit during the brewing process and allowing grounds to slide through a small hole that is in the grounds cup. Don't have the issue when I use the included gold filter.

Overall Review: Nice to be able to nurse a pot of coffee without it tasting burnt after an hour or two.

smaller than I thought

Pros: They are quite bright considering their size.
