Mouse comfort is such a personal thing, you will get 10 recommendations if you ask 10 guys. I have the two mouse you mentioned, the MX and Performance. I love them both, and I use them at work everyday (CAD) as well for general desktop work. But for gaming, I like my good old original...

Hi Smoove, thanks for the reply. Yes, it ended up being a noob mistake. I have two video cards in CF, and I had my monitor cables connected to the 2nd card, instead of the first card.

Hello, I built a PC last year which has been running fine for 1.5 years. A few nights ago, I did my periodical dust cleaning of the PC, taking the filter off of the case, cleaning it, blowing off some light dust inside case with a air canister, that sort of thing. No components or cables were...

Those are some fun shooters, I recommend them as well. I just wrapped up Far Cry 2 myself, it was a nice change from the mostly linear shooters that are available today. It's also the only game I truly enjoyed using the sniper rifle, because the game's sandbox design allows you to choose how...

I'm impressed and annoyed at the same time that MSRP for Black Op is still $60, and that Steam is not giving us a better deal than 50%......

Picked up Rage for $14.99. It is scary to think that this game only came out on Oct 4th, and in 2.5 month, I can pick it up for less than $15. And we are talking about a game from id, not a small game from an unkown developer.

I love the Mass Effect series. All of the streamlining effort on Mass Effect 2 worked really well for me. Even for a FPS player like myself, the shooting mechanic is convincing enough, it does not detract, or feel restricted. The simplified inventory and upgrading system is also a...

OP, It seems like a slide out tray for your keyboard and mouse is very important to you. Is this because you want to create more space on the desktop? If that is the case, why not try to create space by moving the LCD, by lifting it up with a stand that you can slide your keyboard underneath...

I can definitely relate. I started playing online with Quake 2 on PC, and did not notice any issues with other players since communication was based on texts. But as soon as Xbox Live picked up with available mic, I was so disappointed with the reality of timmy gamer population...

I've bought many items from Newegg before, but my last shipment is the 2nd time I've gotten a full array of components to build a system. I was very excited to open the large shipping box from their Tennessee distribution center, but I was equally shocked to find how little effort they have put...

I do that all the time! Play games every day for 3 month, and quite for another 3 month. Rinse and repeat. There's nothing that says you need to game continuously, it's not a job you know ;)

Umm, did I read the same article? The article talks about shorter games, not shooter games. I can totally relate to the article, btw. Married, kid, in his 30s, full time job. As much as I love long games like Mass Effect, or Dragon Age, I appreciate shorter games like Dead Space...

I'm glad I'm not a completist.... Looking for stuff for the sake of looking for stuff is not fun for me.

The game is bundled with the video card I just ordered, so I'm looking forward to playing this game. The original was a classic. First game that combined RPG and FPS successfully, IMO. (System Shock 2 didn't quite do it for me). However, it is always going to be tough to follow such a...

Thanks for the input, I have parts coming in real soon!
