Pros: My current condo swelters and I overclock by default so my temps are nothing to boast about, however, that that my e6400 is at 3.2 and perfectly happy speaks highly of the GeminII.

Cons: Big. Scary.

Overall Review: Outside of pointing out that this h/s does its job, I'm largely writing to reasure 775 users that your motherboard will hold. I almost broke down and fashioned an ad-hoc back plate but lo and behold, everything works just fine without a back plate. Still, Cooler Master should include a soft-voiced tech with each package reassure you through the installation. :)

Pros: The unit is attractive and the volume/mute knob works well and a very convenient.

Cons: When something as standard as general SVM (smart volume management) is absent, things have clearly gone very wrong. Anyone who has played with a standard X-Fi will be appalled at how many features are missing (including existence of multiple modes). That my computer's built-in chip has software that offers more functionality than the X-Fi 5.1 speaks volumes about how bare-bones the piece of hardware is. I am not sure who this product is made for, but unless Creative updates the 5.1's software to match the rest of the X-Fi line, I would strongly recomend looking for a different sound solution. A huge dissapointment and money very poorly spent.

Pros: -Software does an excellent job at detecting games and is a sanity-saver when games like Kingdoms of Amallur do not let you set custom functions to R/L buttons -Fits my large hands well

Cons: -Could use a few more buttons since the two below the mouse will likely be used for switching DPI or profiles, leaving you with four buttons and middle-click. For the price, it seems a little low. -As a number of people have mentioned, it has started to double-click when I single-click. It is very annoying. -There seems to be some slight acceleration built into the mouse's firmware. I could be wrong, but a quick Google search seems to support my suspicions. Whatever the case, I find that I'm a bit sloppy navigating menus and hotbars when using this mouse.

Overall Review: I wouldn't say that I regret my purchase, but the double-click issue is enough to make me avoid Mionix in the future. It's a nice mouse but there are better out there and many of them cost less.

Pros: I've never bothered with their software but Gigabyte's boards have always treated me very well. With this board, my e6400 was running at 3.2ghz in minutes with minimal fuss. Outside of their annoying voltage readouts, Gigabyte's bios are always a pleasure to work with. Presumably due to the new chipset but not having to jump through hoops to get Vista and my X-Fi card to play nicely together made life a little more simple.

Cons: I wish Gigabyte would drop their curious volt readouts - I would like to see "2.1" volts next to DDR2 rather than "+3."

Overall Review: Newegg is made of 100% Cute Puppies and Playfull Kittens.
