not exactly free, but still pretty cheap, some nice pics/tutorials to make your own earpads: http://www.head-fi.org/t/486173/custom-ear-pads-pics http://www.head-fi.org/t/562891/request-custom-earpad-tutorial-for-fullsized-cans I can vouch for the method in the first link, by taking the old...

if you like the sony 7506's sound sig, you'll probably be pleased to know that these: http://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDR-V6-Monitor-Headphones-Voice/dp/B00001WRSJ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1251249817&sr=8-1 sony mdr v6 are the exact same headphones (but have red accents instead of the...

quick update: I got the func archetype and have been using for a few days now (playing gw2) and so far so good, I'm using the rough texture side for reference I like the overall construction, esp with the base pad design, seems like a good way to make the main pad surface piece replaceable (I...

that's what I do every few days when I notice the mouse acting up (or rather, it feels like the mouse is acting up but there's nothing wrong with the mouse) yep, I was gonna grab this one...

so I have 2 radpadz xt, both are about 3-4 years old anywho, when the pad stays FLAT, its flipping awesome, I love it to death but eventually, it'll start to bend or warp and my mouse would lose contact and jump all over the screen, very frustrating I got so fed up with the constant bending...

I react faster to sound than sight and I need a pair of cans that can provide the best clarity. Was that cheese enough for ya? Also, built in mic is nice plus for any "gaming" headphones.

something stupid posted, as usual

high end mid-range performance cards (gtx460, 5770, 6850, etc) in single slot solutions please

thanks for the give away!

I must warn anyone who is tempted to buy this: The fan is LOUD, even at 20% there is an annoying audible whine. Also, it runs hot (although it was cool for its day). I eventually returned mine and picked up an MSI 460 (runs faster, cooler, and much quieter). Also, this card (the 4870) will run...

drsproinky, thanks for the feedback Yea, when I had Q6600, the 4 cores never maxed out with wow, so this time around I was thinking I'd pick up a cheap i3 530 system and clock it to 4.0+ghz and I think that'll actually smooth things out big time. Along with a Gen.3 intel SSD 160GB if it...

for CPU's, has anyone noticed if wow prefers intel or amd? (or basically which ever one clocks the highest?) I did have SSD's for a while, but the lack of space made me sell them. I'm wondering if those new seagate momentus XT hybrid drives will affect the performance as much as SSDs...

thanks for the replies No, I also don't intend to SLI or crossfire (yea, I hate noise, and WCing is out of the budget for now). Yes, my CPU/ram is a bottleneck for me right now, I'm using a E5200 at 3.0ghz with 2gb on xp x86... I used to play with a Q6600 at 3.0ghz with 4gb ram and vista...
