i would of gone with the R.A.T 7 for the higher DPI (cant stand low DPI mouse's) but overall the range is good...nice quality products

[dijm8]

also why such a big psu? unless you got a nice 6990? or crossfire ?

Why does the mouse remind me of the batmobile in the Dark Knight?

[edals]

The RAT is suppose to be really good, Bit crazy for a mouse lol
Nice PSU, Get SLI or crossfire happening !

good choice, ive had my saitek eclipse II keyboard for over a year now with no complaints. ive spilled coffee over it about 20 times after they dry out they keep working. ive heard that the r.a.t mouses had issues with there lasers not sure if its true, let us know what you think.

I wasn't up for the price of the RAT7 over the 3, to be honest I've only ever used shitty $10 mouse(...mouses? mice?) before so I am sure this one will perform better than my usual expectations

Why such a big PSU you ask? Because there are a pair of crossfired 6870s hanging off a 4GHz overclocked Phenom II x4 equipped Crosshair Formula IV with two hard drives and a total of 11 fans in the setup.. Running OK on a HX650 but I will put that into the other PC, go overkill on both of them for peace of mind.

A little extra never hurt. Just means when some better more powerful cards come out there is no need to upgrade the PSU.

very nice how do you like the 6870's? in crossfire? im looking at either 6970's in crossfire or a single 6990, i currently just got a single 5850

[savage1987]

crossfired 6870s are epic, i haven't actually got any games that will challenge them as I just got this pc up and running again this morning, and only ever had it running for a week or so before. I am looking forward to trying to pull a bit more overclock out of the cards, and probably got plenty of room to move with oc'ing the CPU a bit more as well. Noctua NH-D14 is an excellent cooler

I am having a bugger of a time at the moment, downloading latest drivers for the cards as a lot of people have had issues with driver support with older drivers on the MSI 6870s.. hopefully it'll make crossfire a bit stronger as well. borrowing a mate's wireless internet stick (hate these damn things) and it has failed at random points in download, losing server contact with the bloody wireless dropping out, over 10 times so far. Torrenting it instead now which is super slow..fail
