anything carrying the name Fatal1ty on a part is over price like the xfi sound card 100(usd) more just for the name

actually from what i understand, the XFI fatal1ty has a 5.25" sound controller and a remote, besides just the card... costs 180 euro around here, just the card is 120, the card with vram + controller + remote is 230, and theres another one even more expensive.

as far as this cooler goes, yeah, its overpriced. i would buy it for 35 euro's, since the alcu vf700 is 22, and the all copper is 28 so im willing to pay a little more for the red and LED fan. but 40+ is just too much.

Actually, a job like that would suck. I dont care how much you like playing games. That would get old really fast.

depends on how much you like games, I know people who play games almost all night every night for free :) it might get old fast to me, but it'd still be better then a normal 9-5 any day!

Fatal1ty is so overrated... I believe he only makes about $50k a year from tournament winnings. Korean Starcraft progamer "SlayerS_Boxer" makes $300k a year + bonuses playing Starcraft.

I agree with Quebert, Fatal1ty is an inspiration, look he became such a game addict that he made mucho money doin it, yeah I,m not runnin out to buy products with his name on it but I can appreciate that he is makin bucks doin something he loves to do, and I seen him on like ESPN he's just a regular guy like any of us he even admitted he cannot believe that he gets paid to play games.

Yeah, the endorsed products are pretty much BS, but I have to respect what this guy has done with the gaming community. He was pretty much the first big gamer from the U.S. that dominated the international scene. With his fame and money he founded a company to make and endorse gaming products with the goal of increasing awareness about the "sport". And hell... He has hot chicks that follow him around and carry his stuff at gaming tournaments. Sweet.
