Pros: very reliable so far, i have had it running a q660 & 8800 for about a month with no more than 5 hours downtime, and it has not had a single problem. very quiet, and the USB ports are a welcome addition.
Cons: I would like the option to not have the blue LEDs in the fan, since it does limit my choice of colors in the rest of my computer, but there is no other PSU with all the features and the price of this one. other than that nitpicky complaint, I can't say anything bad about it.
Overall Review: the extra usb ports are a godsend, and the PSU went from the loudest to the quitest part of my build when I put this one in.
AWESOME
Pros: Comfortable to use, the adjustable backlighting is nice for those of us who sleep in the same room as their computer and leave it running, other than that I rarely change anything but the light color. The Media keys are nice, and I prefer their placement up in the corner instead of over the F keys. The backlighting is even and clearly visible in any light. built like a tank, I've had this for quite a while and it hasn't shown any wear whatsoever.
Cons: it is by default blue lighting on boot, so if you want to have it red or purple you have to change it on boot. It would have been nice to have the dimmer knob a volume control and let the lights just be button levels.
Overall Review: awesome keyboard.
Pros: FAST, Unbelievable performance. Running Oblivion at maxed out settings in 1680x1050 resolution, and getting silky smooth framerates, 60's in HL2 Lost Coast on max settings. Quiet, my system got significantly quieter after putting this in. Going from a 7300 gs to this is like realizing you have been walking around with your eyes closed. surprisingly does not heat up the rest of my system much at all.
Cons: big, I was scraping the hard drive cage putting the pcie power connector on. It brings attention to the need for me to upgrade the rest of my system, it wont make me nachos.
FUNCHTASTIC
Pros: 1680x1050 resolution, NO DEAD PIXELS, 5ms response, super bright, HUGE VIEWING AREA, widescreen. Honestly, this is probably the best monitor I could hope for, the 170 degree viewing angle is awesome, i watch movies on it from across the room and to the side it is still perfetly clear, the height is not adjustable, but it isn't a problem because the screen is so funching huge and anyways, your not buying it because of the stand. Also, the base is not at all wobbly unless you really are getting rough with the monitor, and in which case you have bigger problems. and of course DVI input is awesome. well worth the money.
Cons: It wasn't free, it doesnt make food, and the base is hard to get off, so be prepared to struggle if you are obsessive like me and put it back in the box to take it to lan parties.
Overall Review: i moved up from a really old 17 inch bubble screen crt, this monitor is HUGE. you may want to measure to make sure you have enough room
Awesome Mouse
Pros: Great Mouse, I switched from a logitech Gaming mouse (cant remember which number, but one of the lower ones) and the difference is huge. I had problems with reaching over the buttons on other mice, but this one has nice BIG buttons that are impossible to miss. also the seven buttons are all completely mapable, the dpi is incredible, the software is easy to use and has since fixed the problems some people had with their mouse not being recognized on startup, and it looks awesome.
Cons: A little awkward at first, takes some fiddling until you get it set right or get used to the insane sensetivity.
Overall Review: LOOKS AWESOME, the little razer logo on the top fades in and out. For once UPS was actually great, I got it by 130 on the projected arrival date, three days after order
