My son wants a new PC, but the last thing he would consider is building his own. He is an avid gamer and movie watcher. I would offer to build it for him, but he lives 2000 away miles from me. He asked me about some of the Custom PC builders, but I do not have enough knowledge to recommend one...

I have been using a Logitech G9 for over a month and while I like the height, sensitivity display, buttons, software and the weights, I just can’t get past the fact that it is too short for my hands. So I decided to give the Razer Boomslang CE a try and I have been using it for 2 days. It is...
