    possible to find a "normal" wireless gaming mouse?

    I've never owned an official gaming mouse and I've been using a Logitech M505 for years now. All I want is a two button mouse with a scroll wheel that doesn't just spin freely (i like the detents feeling on the M505) that is designed to have polling rates in excess of the standard 125...

    Need advice on audio setup for work please

    So I've left the land of cubicles and I've got an office now and that means I don't have to wear headphones if I don't want to. What I'm looking for is a setup that will be used only for playing music and only as loud as normal conversation; never any louder. I'll drive it with a line out from...

    Hi all; first off thank you in advance. I just got my second xfx 5850 yesterday. It's the same model as my first 5850. Whenever I enable crossfire in ccc I get stuttering/jerky behavior in games. Even in NON 3D games. I am running 2 crossfire bridges. ex: Plants vs Zombie. No 3D but it's...

    Please help me pick a new monitor

    I currently have a A7217A (rebranded Sony FW900) 24" CRT. I just put a new system together and I'm considering finally going to flat panel. I picked up an MSIWind netbook a while ago and it's LED backlit and I really like the evenness of the back lighting. One of the big turnoffs for LCD's...

    F/S forum question "no paypal cc"

    I guess this is maybe really a question on proper protocol more than policy; not sure though. "(23) Charging fees for PayPal is not allowed. It violates PayPal's TOS." So sellers either choose to accept paypal cc (and the associated fees) or they don't. If they do then fine but if they...

    Attn: Mini P180 owners (heat sink mounting question)

    Hi all, I have a mini P180 on order. I've been looking around at different setups and it looks like people have the cpu heatsink mounted the "traditional" way east/west. Depending on the heatsink and the board a north/south orientation may not have been an option. Ex: (stolen picture from...

    5850 vs 5870 for 1920x1200?

    Taking the price difference into account is there truly a good reason to go 5870 instead of 5850 if you always game in 1920x1200?

    Only $180 difference between i7 & i5 correct?

    Like a lot of folks I'm trying to decide to go either i7 or i5. I was 100% sold on i5 but then I started breaking down the pricing and now I'm not so sure. Here's my thinking. GPU/monitor/psu/case/... - you'll use the same no matter which one you pick so don't figure them in. mobo: x58...

    Hi all. I'm considering picking up a v351 for a new i5 GA-P55M-UD4 based system and one of my concerns is cooling. I don't want to try and hack the back for the psu to be above the cards even though i've seen others do it so I'm trying to figure out a workable cooling solution. Anyone know if...

    I need help picking out a high quality 21" CRT monitor

    Well I just go a new Dell 1905FP yesterday and I hate it. The color looked VERY "off"; almost like I was running in 16bit instead of 32bit. I ran it DVI. The ghosting was also driving me up a wall. So now the monitor is sitting in its cardboard box with an RMA# written on the side and it's...
