    help me with warped ratpadz xt!

    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...

    get it before too late ASUS EAH4870/2DI/1GD5 Radeon HD 4870 1GB for $86.99

    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...

    quick question: video card for wow cataclysm?

    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...

    quick question: video card for wow cataclysm?

    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...

    quick question: video card for wow cataclysm?

    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...

    quick question: video card for wow cataclysm?

    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 in wotlk the load doesn't go beyond low 80%, GPU temp...

    Anyone else here play Mother 2/Earthbound?

    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...

    Anyone else here play Mother 2/Earthbound?

    absolutely one of my favorite jrpg I believe the mother series was a lot more popular in japan than anywhere else. Also, if you haven't, they have mother 3 for the GBA (I think it was on the GBA). It was a while ago... But back to mother 2, and I agree about the personality and overall...

    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...)

    Dazed and Confused: Advice On My First Gaming Mouse

    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...

    Suggest a mouse: Fingertip grip, ~3200 CPI, optical

    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...

    Suggest a mouse: Fingertip grip, ~3200 CPI, optical

    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...

    Best USB sound card for laptop??

    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...

    Project: Death SPIN (4x 5870's, SSD's, Water-Cooled, OC'ed, and Pimp Painted)

    eh, it doesn't look like a "current" bike (anywhere from 07-10 models), too curvy i'm guessing it's off of one of the 4 japanese brands... it looks real close to the gen 1 hayabusa left side fairing give us a hint haha edit: the frame slider hole is way off and the reverse P shape isnt...
