MAC like

i-rocks KR-6170M White 105 Normal Keys USB Slim Full Size Mac X-SLIM Keyboard

Pros: Cheap enough - USB and it is sort of MAC like.

Cons: Non really.

Overall Review: I built a Hakintosh, and this keyboard works great as a Windows or Mac keyboard.

WORKS perfect

SONY Component AV Cable for PLAYSTATION3
SONY Component AV Cable for PLAYSTATION3

Pros: It's the Sony brand cable for your PS 2 or PS 3! Works perfect. This cable was $39.95 at my local Target.

Cons: Since the PS 3 has a blue ray player built in, I wished the PS 3 shipped with this cable.

Overall Review: I originally had an off brand component cable for my PS 3, but I was sometimes getting weird random color blocks on the screen... I decided to upgrade to this cable, and no more color problems!

Great drive

Pros: This drive works perfectly. I have always had good success using Sony CD / DVD drives.

Cons: Not Sony's fault, but mine arrived in bubble wrap with the plastic eject button broken off and missing. I had to pay to RMA the drive. Since it is OEM, no cable is included.

Overall Review: I originally bought this in gray, but when I did the RMA - gray was sold out, so I asked for black in return. I used this drive in my Hakintosh, and the MAC OS sees this drive perfectly.

This is a GREAT power supply

Pros: Works great and is very quiet.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I am running 2 SATA hard drives, and 1 SATA DVD drive plus MB and fans from this power supply, so I have plenty of watts left in reserve.

Pros: It's a SATA drive made by Sony. I have always had good luck with Sony CD / DVD drives.

Cons: Not Sony's fault, but mine arrived in bubble wrap with the eject button broken off.

Overall Review: I had to RMA for a new drive, and since they are out of gray - I asked for black.

I am impressed

Pros: LED boot code indicators on the MB. Decent manual. Lots of options including overclocking. It came with orange cables to match the MB colors. 6 SATA connectors!

Cons: If you have never built a PC before, all the options and jumpers described in the manual may be a little intimidating. I initially had trouble getting the MB to boot properly... I discovered the bios reset jumper was not making a good connection. (jumper has to be on for normal boot) After I replaced the jumper, it worked perfectly.

Overall Review: I'm not an overclocker so most of this MB was overkill for what I need. But I bought it to build a Hakintosh using the efix module. Works wonderfully!
