Just what you need

ICY DOCK 2.5 Inch SSD & SATA Hard Drive to Desktop 3.5 Inch SATA Bay Adapter Converter Bracket Mounting Kit - EZConvert MB482SP-3B
ICY DOCK 2.5 Inch SSD & SATA Hard Drive to Desktop 3.5 Inch SATA Bay Adapter Converter Bracket Mounting Kit - EZConvert MB482SP-3B

Pros: Makes an SSD fit right into a standard rotational drive slot. Not fancy, just gets the job done. Highly recommended.

Cons: A few had SATA connector blocks that were a little misaligned. Be sure to loosen the screws holding the connector block before connecting the SSD. Then install the drive screws and re-tighten the connector block screws. Makes for a lot less stress on the SSD's connectors that way.

Avoid!

ASRock 970 EXTREME3 AM3+ AMD 970 + SB950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
ASRock 970 EXTREME3 AM3+ AMD 970 + SB950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Nice looking

Cons: Not reliable at all. This board sucks. I got two from Newegg, both failed after a few starts. Shipped one back to AsRock for replacement, got it, it booted, then stopped working. Tried to contact Tech Support at the email address I was given: no response after 5 days. This whole experience sucks. To get anything for my money I am going to have to RMA this board AGAIN, spend even more $$ on shipping that I don't have. I bought this board back in February. It is now April and I still don't have a working board. I've been building systems for 30+ years and have never had such an unreliable board. I used to like AsRock, but now I would not recommend any of their boards ever.

Overall Review: If this is typical of what their current batch of boards do, I would avoid all of them. More headache than they're worth, and you wind up spending extra $$ and time on shipping with all the bleeping RMAs. Stick with Asus. At least their stuff starts up.

I love these things.

Pros: Want to pep up your system? Use one of these for your system drive. Amazing how much better my Windows 7 machines run on SSDs. I can't say enough good about these drives. I now own 5 of these things and will probably get more.

Cons: none I have found

Overall Review: get a decent mount for it; it deserves it. The IcyDock stuff works very well.

excellent drive

Pros: just what the doctor ordered. Winboot is fast, logon is a blink. very nice. included software worked very well for cloning a two-partition, dual boot (Win7-64/WinXP-32) system drive as long as total partition sizes were less than 230GB. great deal for the price

Cons: none.

Overall Review: i should have ordered more.

excellent device!

Logitech M510 Wireless Computer Mouse for PC with USB Unifying Receiver - Black
Logitech M510 Wireless Computer Mouse for PC with USB Unifying Receiver - Black

Pros: I have used this mouse for over 5 years, including 3 years doing extremely mouse-intensive online, at-home work. I wore the bottom rubber footies off, put some new ones n and ran for another 6 months, then bought another one. Great mouse. Love having all the buttons.

Cons: Logitech drivers and software still maintain their reputation as some of the kludgiest software written. But it does what I want it to, I can customize all the buttons for any given application, which is what I need. I just wish their interface wasn't so "Fischer-Price" limited.

Absurd

It took them 2 weeks to send a 100' Ethernet cable to Dallas. Ridiculous. All customer service said was to "just wait". Not service, just excuses. I will never buy from these people again. They make newegg look bad.

Horrible

It's over three weeks since I ordered a heatsink from these people. It still has not arrived, and the only "tracking" I get just says the Post Office has been notified of and is awaiting receipt of the package. Don't give these people your money; you will never see your purchased item. I tried to open some kind of real communication with them, but all they want to do is say "The Post Office is at fault". I am just glad my purchase wasn't a large one. This place is a big waste of time and money. Try someone else.
