Mod Note: In all of my benevolence (and the fact I'm tired of cleaning gag posts out of the BA thread) I have created a new (did we ever have one??) Off Topic thread for all your randomness and IT-related humour! The rules are: there are no rules. Although posting on-topic stuff here or stuff that belongs in Hardware Discussion etc. better may be moved randomly with extreme prejudice!! It will also make you look silly

while on the subject of peripherals, has anyone any experience of Gaming Keypads like the Razer Nostromo? The reason I'm asking is that I'm absolutely useless with the WASD setup of a normal keyboard and no amount of time spent practicing helps and Ive being doing it for a while now. I can't type for sh*te either so that's probably another reason.

My movement in FPS's is a million times better with a controller!(I know I know..cough spit)
Obviously I've no issues using the mouse for aiming. :rolleyes:

I've been using a Razer Mantis for years now.

Anything from Steelseries is usually good. I'm using a QCK+ at the moment. I remember Bloodbath recommending a similar one, but it had sewn edges to prevent fraying. Can't remember the name I'm afraid.

Hi Lads, any thoughts on the best mousemats out there atm?

Just wondering what your learned opinions are gents

Yeah after the initial excitement of a cheap matx case with some cable management and space for additional fans i think ill stick with what i have. I did lob the top off the heatsink with a hacksaw to get it to fit my current case so i think ill stick with it! Not as much cables to hide any more either, as ive gone from two ssds, a hdd and a dvd drive to just one ssd at the moment, and likely adding only one more ssd.

I do have a spare fan though that i was considering mounting on the outside of the side panel? there is no space inside anymore. Any major disadvantages other than the potential To lose a finger?

I'd seen a review of that a while ago. Didn't do much for me to be honest. At the time though, I didn't know it was dirt cheap. Fantastic case! :P

The fractal is looking very poor in comparison now. You might as well treat yourself. It's only €33 and comes with 2 fans.

Ah nearly twenty quid shipping on top of it though! Its on amazon as well, should be a bit cheaper delivered. Hmm, dilemma (after only spending an ages last weekend trying to tidy up the inside of the case!

What are you using at the moment?

I welcome a good case for budget builds at last. There was literally 0 good budget matx cases that I know of until this.

They will probably creep the price up on it when it starts selling like hot cakes.

You could even mount it horizontally to fit into a lot of tv cabinets for htpc / tv gaming builds.

There's a windowed version for €5 more and you can mount a 240 rad in the front. Serious case for the money.

must say im tempted by this. Just after getting notice of a tax rebate - the temptation to splurge on this, a few fans, a bigger ssd (ordered a 120gb one two days ago, why couldnt i have waited!) Is huge!

Big death adder fan. Treated myself to a second left hand edition one which I will keep in its box along with a sphex matt for when my main ones wears out from too much use (hopefully a long time in the future)

Deathadder as well, great mouse & kudos to Razer for the only decent left-handed gaming mouse.

Second the deathadder, just got one a few weeks ago and love it.

I bought a Sharkoon Fireglider Laser Mouse on Amazon with free delivery. I used to own a Logitech g500 Laser mouse which cost me 70 quid and the Sharkoon is just as good, if slightly lighter. On the g500 the tilt mechanism on the scroll wheel never worked properly, and thankfully the Sharkoon doesn't have this feature. There are, I believe, more resolution setting on the Sharkoon also. Great ergonomics make this mouse very comfortable to use. There is a slightly more expensive version here. I've seen this mouse recommended on the Building and Upgrading forum, but I've never used this mouse.

She has been chugging along without a hitch for about 6 years now.

Suggestions?

If you want more of the same then a g400

If you want a different mouse then:
Deathadder i have a LH and RH version and both are great
Zowie EC1 or EC2 are fantastic mice too

Why you'd buy any less in this day and age is beyond me anyway.

He is built pc and cant install OS from disc. I told him to get USB stick, but he did not had one. So he is waiting for his brother to come after work with one. Argos is about 5 mins away by foot from him... just saying...

He could have got 2 x 760gtx which outperform a single titan by about 10 - 20% and costs only €460.
