Utilize this Thermaltake TG-7 thermal grease to close the gap between the heat source and heat sink in your processor to improve heat dissipation. The formula includes diamond powder to ensure ideal thermal conductivity.
Better Than Expected
Customer Rating
4.0
In the desperate need of compound as quickly as I could get my hands on a supply due to my forgetting to restock on my stash of paste, I researched quite a few thermal paste products that were LISTED on the site as supposedly being available in my nearest store. Upon arrival to the store and locating the isle (which wasn't easy and floor representatives weren't sure either), I found this product to be the ONLY one of its kind remaining and the ONLY thermal compound product in the entire isle. I Had no choice.
In the need of said item with no other options, with my PC throwing in the towel attempting to combat the summer climate, to my surprise the Thermaltake thermal compound MORE than exceeded my expectations and didn't even have me think twice about if was close to or just as thorough in efficiency as my regular go-to compound substance (prolimatech pk-3).

CORSAIR - MM300 Gaming Mouse Pad with Antifray Cloth - Gray/Black
Maximize the precision of your high-DPI optical or laser mouse with this Corsair MM300 gaming mouse mat, which features a textile-weave surface that enables pixel-precise targeting and precision tracking for lethal control as you game the night away.
Well Made. Grips. Smooth.
Customer Rating
5.0
The mat is very flexible to the degree that it took no reshaping at all after unrolling it when taken out of the box. Provides smooth feedback and stays in pace on all surfaces that I've had it on (bare & polished wood, metal, granite, glass, porcelain.) except for SOME textured types of plastic. Edge-stitching is quite solid and I don't feel that the stitching will become tattered over time due to excessive friction/rubbing contact. My keyboard is a Razer Deathstalker and there is plenty of surface space remaining for a vast range of mouse movement (space remaining after accommodating keyboard can fit 7 Razer 2014 Nagas side-by-side). More robust keyboards will reduce space for mouse movement.

NETGEAR - Dual-Band N600 Router with 8 x 4 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem

Given you have a compatible ISP provider, setup was simple without the need of calling ISP customer service. Router user interface is complex enough to get what you want out of the device for a reliable connection and network. Unit is very compact and can be kept on work surface, in a closet, or even in drawer/cabinet and take up no more space than an ink-pens length and a the size of a toothpick in width. Not wall-mountable, although I have modified my unit to make wall-mounting possible.
Though it is not detailed in the manual nor anywhere on Netgear's site for this specific modem/router unit, THERE IS A RESET BUTTON on the unit located on the bottom between the two legs. To be clear, this is different from the power button which is located on the rear of the unit. The power button can not be held down for any period of time to reset the unit to factory settings. You will know its location by identifying a CIRCLE amongst the pattern of rectangles on the underside of the unit. You will need to use a pen or other fine-point object to access and press the button.

Razer - Naga Expert MMO Gaming Mouse - Black
Gain a tactical edge while playing your favorite games with this Razer Naga Expert mouse, which features 19 MMO-optimized programmable buttons and a 12-button thumb grid for fast access to functions and commands.
Covers the Basics + Macro Necessities
Customer Rating
4.0
Exceeded my needs for in-game macros. With the additional software aid of Synapse 2.0 & the capability of switching between key-mapping, the 12 macro keys located on the side of the mouse essentially become 120+ programmable extra keys for your in-game needs.
The "Breathing" illuminating Razer logo on the palm-section of the device adds QUITE a bit of flare when the mouse is sitting idle.
Every Scroll of the Middle Button is accurate and clean. You'll likely never mistakenly over-scroll when in-game & make every click-scroll intentionally when in a browser or any application that allows zooming via the Scroll-Wheel.
The Left & Right Click buttons are very satisfying to initiate. To the touch/press, they can be described as flexible fenders that are part of a uni-body grit-textured surface. Initiating either primary button has clearly audible sound yet a soft & noticeable feel. Also, I feel it note-worthy of saying that rapid-firing rounds when wielding a semi-automatic weapon in-game, the primary buttons + sensor + surface texture give the user an outstanding sensation of control.
ONLY CON:
The only downside that I face when playing with this mouse in fat paced shooters, is when lifting the mouse from the table surface to re-center mouse for aiming, I sometimes press the lower-row buttons by accident. This happens when I grip the mouse in the most common fashion of my little finger on the side-grip, ring-finger on the lip just above the side grip, & left-side of thumb on the table surface w/ MEDIUM pressure half-pressed on the lower row buttons & the space underneath the lower-row buttons.

Considering this product for standard usage on a PC? You're all good to go here.
As a gamer there are a few pros and cons. But these stipulations MAY vary on ones hand size, natural posture, & striking accuracy/efficiency.
As a gamer there are a few pros and cons. But these stipulations MAY vary on ones hand size, natural posture, & striking accuracy/efficiency.
So first off, the macro ability of this board goes a LONG way. As stated in the product description, there is a feature that allows you to record macro combinations to your liking through the included software. In this department there is no issue of any sort.
Second, the chiclet-key layout. THIS is where the various aspects of the user depend on how effective the usage may be. In MY situation, iI have small/average sized hands which result in me having to stretch my fingers for the appropriate key-strike, as well as me moving my wrist from their rest position. This may not be a factor for those individuals with larger hands and/or longer appendages.
Third. the board DOES have retractable risers, as nearly ALL keyboards have. However, there isn't much height given when they are placed into the raised position.
Fourth. The wrist-rest section of the keyboard is NOT RUBBER padding. This is a common misconception of the features of this board. The section in question is actually ALL plastic with a High-Gloss finish and a honeycomb design. There is also some texturing there that MAY be utilized as a grip support when resting wrists there. This surface CAN gather a bit of dirt & grim from the wrist and other contacts. I myself, have remedied this by using clear-packaging tape across the length of the rest-surface to avoid any build-up.
OVERALL. The board has a GREAT build quality although there is a small bit of flex VERTICALLY at the center of the board. But this is only an issue if one has the board sitting on a gap-surface.However the board is by NO MEANS, flimsy. The back-lighting is also phenomenal for well-lit & the darkest of working conditions. I would DEFINITELY recommend this product for the curious browser & wish them Well-Usage! ENJOY!

CON: Feature is only available on Android devices with KitKat FW & higher.
PRO: Good for having your TV function as a photo album display, or for broadcast watermarking purposes.
CON: When delving into the setting of the casting device via your smartphone & disabling the stock-feature-display options ; featured photos on the Chromecast tend to display here-and-there if a chosen, personal, photo album does not have more than two images residing in it. (**By Personal Experience**)

(**By Personal Experience**)
PRO: THE best investment for a consumer seeking a device to stream full-length movies from their tablets, phones, computers -- as well as a slew of other media content -- to an easy to use, simple to navigate, sleek & compact, not to mention portable, HDMI entertainment receiver.
ON THE FENCE?:
Some owners & skeptics of this product stand with the crowd that isn't too pleased about this product having to be supplied power via micro/USB. However, this is actually a huge advantage for the device, over others of its kind which do not require an external power source. Being more powerful than anticipated by the average, non-tech-savvy consumer, the Chromecast can handle content sent to it quite a bit more than admirably considering the different forms of digital media used today and the quality of it. The rendering that this little piece of work dishes out will pretty much be the same as what the user sends to it (provided that the network which the Chromecast is connected to is up to par & does not have a lot of high data traffic).

Awesome product!
The device itself and the bezels' slim form factor is a dream.
Comes with a sleek stand that is mostly not visible, being concealed underneath the television.
This television is PERFECTLY great for use in an office, for computer display, or display just for picture slideshows (there's an option for this in settings).
Its also nice that the HDMI port (1 of 2) has a power passthrough feature for external devices that support receiving power from the HDMI ports.

Alright so now, we've gotta get the cons out of the way. But its just a few.
Input components leave you wanting just a bit more. If you're one that has more than two HDMI devices to connect, you may find yourself switching cords out now and then if you only plan on getting one of these televisions.
There are no IR sensor ports for controlling your cable box or sound system with one remote.
The settings are not as intricate as one with keen setup preferences would like. Some prompts, such as occupying the USB port and asked if the user would like to "view photos? - yes/no". If only occupying the port for the use of a dongle, this can become a bit annoying at times, as this prompt is not a toggle option under settings.
