Re: Which Cyborg should I get

So try them both, see which one YOU prefer, return whichever you don't like. Problem solved. Unfortunately there is no store within an hour of me that sells the MMO7.... so thats out of the picture. Also I think Im going to try the M.M.O 7 simply because I already tried the RAT 7 and loved it, didn...

Re: Best budget GPU for triple monitor gaming

Yes. You can have two monitors combined into an Eyefinity group and have the third one not associated, assuming that the first two monitors have the same resolution and orientation. http://www.amd.com/us/products/technologies/amd-eyefinity-technology/Pages/eyefinity.aspx Thanks, looks like all I ne...

If you're going to use Eyefinity to stretch your gaming screen across all three monitors, they must all have the same resolution and orientation. If you're just going to have a multi-monitor display with the game on one and various web browsers, spread sheets, etc open on the Windows desktop on the...

And airflow might only be marginally better for a full size case depending on fans and where things are located. However, if it just ends up with a lot of empty space inside, the case is just kinda taking up space. Smaller cases are easier to deal with and give you more options with setting up your...

After further gaming in Crysis 2 and Age of Mythology I found I only lifted occasionally, mainly because I hit the end of my mouse pad. The only real problem I have with it so far is that the main plate on the bottom doesnt go to the very back of the mouse, making it so that if you rest your palm on...

Re: Good gaming mouse for a lifter

If you're physically damaging the mouse I would call that 'smashing' not 'lifting' :P I'm not smashing it at all, I am very gentle lifting and putting down, but its just the nature of it hitting the pad over and over again that can damage it over time. My friend suggested a Corsair M90, but I dunno...

Re: $1400 Budget, and a list of must have's

It's quite a bit more than the Define R4 and P280, though. If you're going to spend money, might as well get a Silverstone Fortress FT-02 and do it right the first time. The 550D is only $35 more than the R4 while the FT02B is $145 more than the R4. That is a massive difference. The FT02B is an awk...
