    Roccat Kone+ Quick Look

    For people who like big mice and thumb buttons (think intellimouse explorer 3.0, and mx1000) this mouse is great. Easy to bind, responsive, comfortable- a great mouse. I've had one for 6 months now. The only way I could improve it would be by adding a third mouse button.

    Is there a term for measuring skill?

    2 of my favourite debates - accurate scoring in games, and strategy vs tactics. The really key question here is how is the camping sniper affecting your team's ability to complete it's objectives? If you have good tactics you will be able to find a reliable and elegant way of taking him out...

    Xbit Labs: Bulldozer up to 50% faster than i7, Phenom II

    The way I see it, the only way that AMD can be 50% faster is if they have pulled off reverse multithreading. http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/feature/1730197/itll-sandy-bridge-bulldozer-2011 Through that a single threaded game could well get a a 50% performance boost. Interesting...

    LF: ROCCAT Kone

    http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1036437536&postcount=135 It's a really nice mouse. Ifyou like the intellimouse 3.0 shape of mouse, this is of that ilk. The only thing that would make it better would be a third thumb button, but apart from that I can't fault it.

    The over-60Hz LCD thread

    It's about gaming. Working with photography, it's valid that there's no difference between 60 and 75 on an LCD, when there would be on a CRT. When gaming, the higher the framerate the better your ability to correctly track fast moving things. It therefore also depends on the game and if you...

    Post your Mouse and Keyboard pics

    A Filco brown and a Kone[+]. The macros on the kone sort all the multimedia stuff like volume controls etc. I've got no qualms about recommending this setup.

    Best gaming keyboard

    I really like my filco brown for gaming. I don't think I'd want a keyboard that's noisier or stiffer than that.

    upgrade from intellimouse 3 -- any suggestions?

    I loved my intellimouse 3.0, which is a fairly chunky mouse. I moved from there to the logitech mx1000 which was another very good mouse. THe successor in this mouse shape is the roccat kone +. Wonderful tracking, a really responsive and accurate feel, and a good sset of macro features...

    Upsizing

    Just been reading- the L20 is a pretty rubbish pump. Size is not an issue, and I'm happy so spend to get quality kit. So the way I'm thinking now - I need to upsize my tubing, need new barbas all round and need a new CPU block that will accept bigger barbs. So - decent barbs -Decent CPU...

    My first water loop (yay!), help/critique

    One useful thing is to have the res at the highest point whenever possible. This allows the trapped bubbles all to collect there in the first week of use. Easiest way to do that with this design is to put a few bricks under the case's front edge for a few days.
