Decent
Pros: I own the Saitek Eclipse and Eclipse II keyboards and really like them so decided to give this one a try. The feel and response of the keys is very well done, the different levels and colors of lighting is very nice. If you have a lot of desk room this would be a good keyboard for you.
Cons: One thing I did not realize when I bought it was it's size. It is much wider than I expected. Too wide to fit in my keyboard tray under the desk so keep that in mind. Another issue is that it is too easy to accidentally push one of the side button which in gaming is bad as it pulls you out of the game to display the tool of the button you pushed. I am not too excited about the top panel controls. The sound control is not well done as it is hard to raise or lower the volume to the level you want.
A little disapointed
Pros: Very accurate and sensitive to movement. Good confiuration options. Great mouse for games you only need to press two main mouse buttons.
Cons: The reason this mouse received lower scores for me is because the side buttons are very poorly designed and hard to use. I am a gamer and I have grown accustom to remapping the side buttons to actions in my games, whether an attack in World of Warcraft or fast weapon switching in first person shooters. The side buttons on this mouse are hard to press and do not feel like they are in the right place. The top most side button is very hard to push without shifting your hand on the mouse. I went back to using my Razer Habu which so far has been the best gaming mouse I have used while this one is now on a spare computer. Other than the side buttons problems, the mouse is great.
Pros: *Quiet *Easy access to HDD and RAM *Generous number of USB slots *Has USB in Front, Top, and Back of the box *E-sata, HDMI, & Optical Using xbmc, plays back 1080p mkv content perfectly with no pauses. Good cheap htpc client, unless you want to use netflix, more later
Cons: USB 3.0 causes the OS to pause using the supplied drivers with Win 7 x64. A mouse plugged in to USB 3.0 slot also pauses. I Reloaded the box with Win 7 x32 and haven't loaded the USB 3.0 drivers yet and the box works perfectly. I will try to find drivers not causing this issue once I get the box imaged and I hope it can be resolved. Cannot play netflix HD content and barely handled non-HD content. This is probably a silverlight issue as the box is trying to play it all back with the CPU even though Use Hardware Acceleration is checked in silverlight.
Not for PC usage
Pros: Lots of features, nice picture, very thin, works very well as a TV.
Cons: I bought this to use as a monitor for my gaming PC and have been very disappointed. It has very good specs and 2.4ms response time should have been fast enough to work on a PC, but it actually wasn't. I change its settings to turn off all post processing, tried different modes, etc. and it always seemed to have a slight lag to it which made it hard to live with. I moved this one to the kitchen to be a TV and bought a Sony Bravia 32" for my PC, which I am very happy with.
Overall Review: Do not buy if you are looking to use it as a monitor. Good choice if you are looking for a TV however.
Great for DD-WRT
Pros: What makes this router a great buy is the ability to flash it with dd-wrt. Currently version 1.0 and 1.1 have 4mb of flash and 16mb of ram which allows you to run all versions of dd-wrt except the mega version. DD-WRT adds a lot more features and makes this router very stable.
Cons: Not 1GB and N, but I knew that when I bought it.
Very satisfied
Pros: I first bought this power supply when a major retailer went out of business because I could pass up the price at the time and I have been very satisfied with it so when it came time to build a new PC, I bought this PS again. This PS has been very stable and I have not had any issues with it.
Cons: With the majority of the newer cases putting the power supply on the bottom instead of the top, the motherboard cables are long enough to properly run them. Without an extension, you will have to run the motherboard cable on across the motherboard.
