    Saitek Eclipse III - Opinions?

    http://www.saitek.com/uk/prod/eclipse3.htm Link above... I cant seem to find any reviews on it which is a little frustrating, but they have them listed as in stock on overclockers uk: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=KB-029-SK&tool=3

    Saitek Eclipse III - Opinions?

    Has anybody used the Saitek Eclipse III keyboard yet and if so what do you think to it? I never liked the styling of the Eclipse I & II, however I did always like the keys when I tried them out. Im figuring the keys will feel similar and I do much prefer the way this keyboard looks compared...

    My Lian-Li PCV1000

    Missed the two cages somehow, my bad :/ Nevermind, ya could always use double sided sticky tape and some chewing gum to secure them down then maybe?

    My Lian-Li PCV1000

    I flipped my cage around by just installing screws at one side of the cage through the holes in the case, other than that you could always drill another couple of holes into the case if you need all four screws to 'secure' the cage.

    Just got a PS3...

    Another vote for picking up Heavenly Sword. I just picked it up myself and I'm loving it so far. Yah, so the game is supposed to be really short, but that's perfect for me because it means I might actually finish it instead of it gathering dust, unfinished, like the 'longer' games I have in...

    Finally!

    I know I quoted ya SAW, but this isn't meant as any kind of dig at you. I think the problem is alot of people clicked on the thread not knowing what it was about... I did... only to find out it was about WoW. me/disappointed Maybe if the thread title explained a bit more it would stop people...

    8800GTS or 8800GTX

    I know just what you're saying, my old 9800pro makes my GTX look bad too. Pointing at it, calling it names and calling my GTX's mom a whore, knowing that my GTX won't leave its post slotted inside my machine to go and bitch slap it.... :rolleyes:

    Fortron 700W SLI PSU

    Do you mean the Epsilon? I used to have the Epsilon 700W (it's now in my GF's rig) and never had a problem with it and has way more than enough to run the items you listed. The only thing I would say about this PSU is that it was reported to have a ripple issue under full load. For $50...

    Thermaltake Armor+ = Sexy

    Yet the OP likes it... go figure... Really, as with most things in life it comes down to preference.. what some people like, others don't. It's not my kind of thing either, but that doesn't mean that we're right for hating it and the OP is wrong for liking it.

    Installing DDR2 RAM in mobo that only supports DDR :(

    Have you made sure that everything is seated correctly and all leads are plugged where they need to be... ie: did you disconnect anything else when you put the new RAM in and not connect it back up again? When I've been swapping out parts in the past on my own rig for either myself or friends...

    Looking to extend the life on my current system

    If you're overclocking then perhaps a 165 instead of the 180? Perhaps a better option though would be to upgrade your motherboard, CPU and RAM. DDR and S939 are overpriced (being a dead technology) and you would likely be able to upgrade to something like the AM2 5200+, 2Gb DDR2 and a...

    Why are Nvidia overclocking tools so bad?

    I recently bought my first ever nvidia card (in sig) and searched to see what overclocking tools seemed to be the best for the card, generally the consensus of the best being rivatuner. IMO rivatuner seems to be quite a good little program, if not necessarily as intuitive initially as ATT...

    recommended manufacturers/makers/builders?

    The best thing with PCs that ever happened to me was my motherboard blowing up on me two months after buying my first PC (off my landlord at the time). Obviously there was no manufacturers guarantee to fall back on, so I learned to replace the motherboard myself (which in turn meant learning how...

    these C2D Confuse the crap out of me on price

    It would also depend a little on what RAM you was using. Using PC-6400 and not wanting to overclock your RAM, the most you would achieve on the E6750 is 3.2GHz without the use of dividers. The E6600 would give you 3.6GHz due to the larger multiplier (9x E6600 Vs 8x E6750) at the same bus speed...

    Abit AN52... Opinions? Need a budget AM2 motherboard...

    Has anybody here had any experience with the Abit AN52 and if so, what did you think about it?? My girlfriend wants a cheap PC building to replace her Ageing P4 1.8 I'm giving her my old X1800XT 512 (which is pretty much overkill for Sims 2 imo but meh) and plan on dropping in a 5200+ X2...

    Lian Li PC-7B PLUS

    I got this case for my girlfirend about a year back, it's a good quality case at that price and certainly a better option than a steel case imo. The only few negatives I would give to this case are firstly there isn't alot you can do to hide the wires from the PSU and secondly I'm not a...

    8800 Ultra or GT??

    One final twist on the whole 8800GT Vs Ultra thread I started... I got an even better deal on an Evga GTX sort of unexpectedly... Got it now and going to do a fresh reinstall on Sunday when i get my next day off :p

    8800 Ultra or GT??

    The Crysis benchmarks seem to suggest I'll need everything I can get, even at 1280x1024. Over the next couple of years Crysis is going to be the benchmark that all games are going to aspire to, so the way I see it is atleast I'm covered with a good card that should last me out a couple of years...

    8800 Ultra or GT??

    LOL :D I wasn't ignoring your post before this one and I understand the waiting till January and see what's new arguement... The Ultra I've got coming is an Evga, so I always have the option of Step-Up in January if something does come out that I'd rather have :D

    8800 Ultra or GT??

    I've decided on getting the Ultra, should have it in a couple of days :D I take onboard the comments on the GT and thanks for the responses. I was planning on getting the Evga Superclocked GT which was £195, and replacing the apparantly loud cooler on it would be another £25 which would bring...

    8800 Ultra or GT??

    Thanks for the responses thus far. I'm from the UK, alot of companies in the States that I have looked at don't ship international (including the above link with the exception of Puerto Rico and Canada from what I could see). Also by the time I've imported it (paying the carriage and any...

    8800 Ultra or GT??

    Im upgrading my current card (X1800XT 512) and was planning on getting an 8800 GT, but for the life of me can't find anywhere with them in stock. I know someone who can get me a Ultra cheap (relatively speaking) but I'm still going to be paying approx 65% more than I would have been paying for...

    Why is Lian Li cases so expensive?

    My old case was a Thermaltake Shark (£85.00) and now I have the V1000B (£130.00). Whereas the only decent piece of aluminium on the Shark was the front door, the whole thing about the V1000B screams quality for me... moreso than the extra £45.00 I paid over the Shark would suggest.

    Your Favorite Wireless Mouse and Keyboard

    Same here on the corded mouse, I'm using the new revision Logitech G5. I Still need a new keyboard to go with it though (I'm using the keyboard from my Logitech Cordless Desktop MX). I did consider the diNovo Edge, but wasn't sure how I'd like the lack of travel on the keys, especially for...

    Your Favorite Wireless Mouse and Keyboard

    IMO the best looking wireless keyboard and mouse out there (although the keyboard isn't backlit) is the Logitech diNovo Edge and the Logitech MX Revolution. Worth taking a look at maybe... oh... pedantic as it may be, plural of mouse = mice :p

    X360: wired vs. wireless

    PSP must haves?

    Along with some of the games mentioned above, you could also take a look at the reviews for Monster Hunter Freedom 2. It's not a game that everyone 'gets' but it's my favourite and most played game on PSP. You'll either love it or hate it, but certainly check it out, see what the reviews say...

    Ace Combat 6

    It'll be interseting for me to see what the graphics are like when this game comes out. The screen shots look awesome so I guess if the actual ingame graphics, if these aren't them, are 75% of how the screenshots look, I'll still be happy:p I keep meaning to get Ace Combat X for my PSP...

    Ouch: PS3 loses an exclusive...to Wii

    QFT Simple fact is in Europe and NA the game isnt anywhere near as big as it is in Japan, but similarly that could be because the game has never been pushed to the same extent as other games *cough* Halo3 *cough*. With enough advertising power, most 'reasonable' games have the potential ability...
