cheap. does its job

E-Blue Cobra Type-M EMS131BK Black USB Wired Optical Mouse
E-Blue Cobra Type-M EMS131BK Black USB Wired Optical Mouse

Pros: i play cs go. A LOT. and many other FPS games. I got tired of breaking expensive mice. bought this one. does the job, no issues, you can custom-set your dpi. its large, i rest my palm on it

Cons: not a lot of extra info such as pulling rate or polling rate or blah blah, but in the non-regulated world of gaming mice, its all subjective

Overall Review: the light is bright, doesn't overpower my screen or anything, but it does serve as a night-light for the office lol.

Most Critical Review
Pixxo KB-9AA1 Black 104 Normal Keys 3 Function Keys USB Wired Standard Keyboard + Optical Mouse Combo
Pixxo KB-9AA1 Black 104 Normal Keys 3 Function Keys USB Wired Standard Keyboard + Optical Mouse Combo

Pros: cheap, couldn't ask for more for a cheap keyboard **EXCEPT**

Cons: that darn function key. i play video games and had to pop off the stupid Fn key because it isn't programmable in games. why couldn't you put it on the other side!!!

Overall Review: cheap.

everything u need on a small board

ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3 AM3+ AMD 760G + SB710 USB 3.0 HDMI uATX AMD Motherboard
ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3 AM3+ AMD 760G + SB710 USB 3.0 HDMI uATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: 4 ram slots. very important for future-proofing micro atx builds. yes, some people build high end micro setups.... has fiber optic sound out for HTPC setup quality, fit and finish you expect from asus

Cons: isn't set up for dual gpus. but c'mon... thats honestly asking too much from a micro build that usually ends up in a micro case

Overall Review: never ever ever ever had a DOA problem w/ asus boards, and that is over 10 builds in the past 4 years. I cannot say the same for foxconn (you think you're saving... but its just a waste of money to NOT buy asus)

Clean, Cheap, has psu...

Rosewill - Black, Ultra High Gloss Finished Micro ATX Computer Case with 400W ATX 2.2 12V Power Supply - R363-M-BK
Rosewill - Black, Ultra High Gloss Finished Micro ATX Computer Case with 400W ATX 2.2 12V Power Supply - R363-M-BK

Pros: very clean looking case, simple and classy. gets wifey stamp-of-approval (big points). mounting and installation is pretty straightforward if you're used to old-style cases, both side panels come off (big plus), front drives are hidden behind door, which works with LG blu ray player no issues

Cons: gets HOT. and i mean HOT. but mostly my fault because im overclocking everything and using a stock cooler at the moment. definitely did not get hot when using it under normal gaming/normal specs.

Overall Review: people have issues with the front face popping off? just stop moving it around. this is definitely an office computer case, not something to be carried to lan parties etc

Owned since 2008

RAIDMAX RX-500S 500 W ATX12V Power Supply
RAIDMAX RX-500S 500 W ATX12V Power Supply

Pros: bought this on a whim at a big box store, has been powering phenom build for almost 6? years, have had various low end gpus plugged in, does everything i ask, has many cables (use adapters if need be), can't remember what i paid for it, NEVER had an issue except....

Cons: is a bit noisy, but it is also in a very noisy case (rivet/mesh crummy case). not modular.

Overall Review: i'm not very nice to my computer components. I put the case in cabinets, move a lot (cross country hot weather cold weather) bang stuff around... basically has held the test of time....

Rosewill RFA-80RL - 120mm CULLINAN Computer Case Cooling Fan with LP4 Adapter - Semi-Transparent Frame & Red LED Lights, Sleeve Bearing, Silent

Pros: good fan. solid. quiet. buy it. be happy. not a hard choice. comes with many pins/connectors. works great

Cons: none. with case fans, its either great or crummy. this one is great.

Overall Review: buy a bunch when they're on sale. ** shrugs** if you work on computers like me, they come in handy
