Great fan controller

Sentry Mix 2 Fan Controller
Sentry Mix 2 Fan Controller

Pros: --The sliders are a bit hard to slide, so it makes it easier to make less mistakes, also allows better precision --LEDs aren't too bright, but they let you know it's on and where it is in the dark --Easy to set up --Fan numbers on the cords are clearly marked so you know which is which instead of having to figure it out

Cons: None that I can think of.

Most Critical Review

Poor prolonged use quality

E-3lue E-Blue Cobra II 1600DPI High Precision Pro Game Gaming Mouse for Windows Mac / RED

Pros: - Very cheap - Looks nice - Good for web browsing

Cons: - Terrible build quality - The left click will become unreliable after a month of use, it will constantly click if you hold it down certain ways (the certain ways are COMMON ways by the way) - Mouse wheel scrolls up after 5 - 8 down scrolls, even on the lowest sensitivity - Constantly having to detach and reattach the left click so it stops acting finicky - Terrible for gaming, despite the name

Overall Review: I've had this mouse for quite a few months and in these months, this mouse has given me a lot of issues. I cannot play a single game without inadvertently clicking just from my finger resting on it, even without hearing a click it will do so. This mouse is very annoying but what did I expect from a 13 dollar mouse?

HORRIBLE overdrive, CANNOT BE CHANGED

Pros: Bright, I guess. Good colors when they're correct.

Cons: So at first I liked this monitor, because compared to my old one, it was great. And then I'd used it for more and more games and slowly realized how horrible it is. The overdrive is automatically set to extreme, and no there is no way to change it. Look under "144hz" in the Extreme row of this picture, http://international.download.nvidia.com/geforce-com/international/images/geforce-garage/how-to-calibrate-your-monitor/blur-busters-motion-test.jpg THAT is what is going on. You can never change it. Textures will drag in every single game you play, no matter what the framerate is. The very fact this is unchangeable is what irks me. Usually you just need an HDMI cable to change it, but no, they decided to be totally proprietary with it, so you're stuck with bad textures that'll more than likely mess you up during gameplay, at the least be very distracting whenever you move.

Overall Review: Ordinarily I'd rate this two eggs on account of its 144hz and great color, but the very fact that they decided to implement something within the monitor and not let you change it because of how horrible it is, no. They get 1 egg, because it is annoying, distracting, and a pain in my rear end.

Great airflow, minor build issues

Pros: --Great cable management potential --High air flow --A LOT of room for upgrades, surprisingly --Drive bays don't get in the way of much --Uses plastic clenching instead of screws for the drive bays

Cons: --Can't remove the drive bays to put a fan there, as they claim you can do on their website --Metal is easy to bend by accident --The front grill is kind of annoying to put back the first few times after you take it off --If your PSU is even a little above the standard, you can forget about putting a fan at the open area in the bottom

Overall Review: Not much aside from I wish they hadn't claimed the ability to remove the drive bays. It's a real hassle for air flow as far as I'm concerned, though it DOES keep my parts at about 27C average when using a fan controller.
