Excellent Mouse

Logitech Trackman Marble Mouse, Four-Button, Programmable, Dark Gray
Logitech Trackman Marble Mouse, Four-Button, Programmable, Dark Gray

Pros: Everything about this mouse is terrific. I've owned three Trackman Marbles over the years. They're durable and easy to use. I'm also able to use this playing games without much difficulty. You just have to make sure to clean it every once in a while.

Cons: Lint will eventually build up. However it only takes a couple seconds to clean this mouse. At times, I wish this mouse had a mouse wheel.

Most Critical Review

Outdated Router Technology

D-Link EBR-2310 Ethernet Broadband Router 1 x 10/100Mbps WAN Ports 4 x 10/100Mbps LAN Ports

Pros: It's good for very basic Internet use.

Cons: The biggest issues I've had with this router is it can get bogged down when visiting large sites (ESPN, CNN, Facebook, etc) back to back. The router just can't handle all of the connections. It doesn't quickly close those connections after you've left the site. I honestly can't tell you the number of times I've become frustrated with this and simply unplugged the router to clear the connections.

Overall Review: If you need a router, I highly recommend just about anything else. I went with a wireless router from another manufacturer that had favorable ratings and I'm very happy with it. I've not any issues with the router getting bogged down.

Terrific Upgrade

Intel Core i7-2600 - Core i7 2nd Gen Sandy Bridge Quad-Core 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Intel HD Graphics 2000 Desktop Processor - BX80623I72600

Pros: Fast! I was running an old E8500 Intel when I decided it was time for an upgrade. I wanted something with quad cores to help me speed up my video encoding times. The i7 2600 was a dream come true. The system blew the doors off what I had been running.

Cons: None

Terrific Upgrade

BUFFALO AirStation HighPower N300 Gigabit DD-WRT Wireless Router - WZR-300HP

Pros: I needed a new router to replace an old D-Link wired router that continuously got bogged down after visiting a few major websites (ESPN, Facebook, CNN, etc). I was able to swap out the routers pretty quickly. I did have to reboot my modem, but that's not a big deal. I would recommend this to just about everybody.

Cons: None that I've encountered.
