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.
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...
res: 1680x1050
which card would be the better chocie, a 5770 at $140 or gtx 460 768mb at $170?
basically I just got an asus 4870 (the one on amazon for $130), but the HSF is a POS, even at 25% fan speed it has an annoying whine to it

I've been playing WoW on and off for 5 years... yea...
anyway, I just resubbed to check my stuff out since I've been absent for almost 2 years

"casa" is also used in italian, the guy's name is bill balsamico (an italian immigrant), therefore his lounge is the house of ice or ice house
his signs are full of anger, but I do agree about immigrants at least TRYING to learn the native language if they're going to move and live here (and...
if i remember right, earthbound was released after final fantasy 6, and considering how much praise that game was getting in its heyday for its "zomg" mode 7 intro (i'm not bashing ff6, just saying... MODE 7) and super clean sprites, extensive story line, wonderful character development, etc...

interesting, the original seller softwaredealz is now gone from amazon...
but to take his/her place is gatorman and the price is now at 89.. well either way it was all too good to be true
okay, I swear there was a thread here (or in the main hot deals section) yesterday about someone linking to the seller on amazon marketplace for "legit" win7 ult keys, but I can't find it
I'm just wondering what happened to that thread (and also because I want to know if it truly is legit...)
I would recommend the razer deathadder, just because it's my personal favorite mouse.
It's about the same size as the microsoft intellimouse, but a slightly larger hump in the palm area. It has a total of 5 buttons and that was enough for me when I used to play WOW and had some keys binded to...
I don't think anyone here is saying "more DPI = BETTER MOUSE" but that a higher DPI does make the control feel faster, ie more sensitive.
The "higher DPI is better" marketing is just that, marketing. But getting back to the actual feel and sensitivity (which all start when you hold that mouse...
I just bought an abyssus, and it probably meets most of what the OP is looking for in a gaming mouse (although there was no mention of how many buttons were needed, the abyssus only has 3).
Overall the abyssus is great for my needs; I wanted an optical with at lesast 1800 DPI and relatively...
is this for stereo music only? if so, then I recommend the nuforce uDAC at only $99 (about 105 shipped from amazon)
I've been using it only with the headphone output, but from reviews around the web, it's just as phenomenal with the analog/digital outs.
The headphones I've been using are the...
uh, you might want to checkout the case measurements before you do... the p180 mini is HUGE for a mATX case
it's about the same size as a CM centurion 5 or antec 300

for custom bikes (imports) with custom paint jobs, i always assume:
hayabusa

some variant of a gsxr

those seem to be the most popular, rarely see any hondas or kawasakis (maybe some zx14's)

just out of curiosity, what type of CD material do the record companies use?
some of my cd's are reaching 15-18 years old, but they still play fine
same with some of my dvd's that are 10 years old
this thread is full of chuckles :D
if i were the OP, i would have re-installed win7 the day it happened and see where that takes me... and probably left UAC on as well (in other words, dont mess with win7)
