    It looks odd, but it's comfortable. When you use it, you don't even notice the thumbrest.

    Razer Barracuda Headset

    I'll see about getting the Zalman in. I am not even sure I knew they had one.

    Everglide s-500 Headset

    They were supposed to send Greg two headsets, but they just... vanished. Working on it though :D I also had another from Turtle Beach en route... I don't know what it is with headsets that are so hard to acquire, hehe.

    So.. Yeah... $10,000 to spend on a pc..

    I don't know any plasma that runs 1900*1200. My 26" LCD TV that doubles as a computer monitor only does 1280*768. Lightscribe to me... is just completely useless... that's all. If it actually looked cool when everything was done with, then it would be on my list also. If he wants a new...

    So.. Yeah... $10,000 to spend on a pc..

    If he wants to be a douchebag... I'd say buy an Alienware. He seems to follow the rule that "Bigger is better" going by the 4GB of ram comment, so.. Just make sure he has Windows x64 so he can actually use all 4GB. I wouldn't go for Quad-SLI, because it's still rather buggy. If he has a 24" -...

    OCZ 2GB Gold PC2-8800

    It was only a matter of time before a company would release speedy DDR2-1100 modules, and OCZ has officially become the first. As one would expect, with such speed also comes loose timings. 5-6-6... ouch! We will see if tightening of those timings is possible, and also see if we can push them...

    OCZ Gold PC2-8800 vs. OCZ VX2 PC2-8000

    Cross posted at XS I'll make one thing clear before I get into results... the VX2 is obviously more capable of kicking the Gold series butt, however it was handy so I decided to use it. The Gold PC2-8800 was announced the other day, although pricing is currently unknown. To throw a figure out...

    Xbox 360 Controller for Windows

    I don't play sport games, but I can't see you running into a big issue. Those games are for the X360 also... so you should be able to tweak it to act just like it would on the console. If you have a friend who has a wired Xbox controller, try to borrow it and give it a try. All you need is the...

    Sabayon Linux RC2

    Well, if you are referring to NTFS write.. then yes that's definitely experimental. I personally wouldn't give it a try right now, although the ntfs3g project looks hopeful. NTFS read is completely stable though. Haha, no worries about the poor writing. Only one way to get better :-P Give...

    Advice on Memory Upgrade

    Yes, what Matt said. And also, I like I said, AM2 doesn't make much of a difference. 2T is slightly more loose latency wise over 1T... it really depends on what you are doing when you will see a difference. Maybe if you were converting video overnight... 1T may speed it up by 30 minutes. It's...

    Sabayon Linux RC2

    Hmm, I wasn't aware of anything experimental going on. This -is- a noobies Linux to a degree, so I am not sure why Ixnay would risk anything he throws in there. I don't recall NTFS support when I was using it, if you mean ntfs3g or something. As for reiser, I was sure the OS installed ext3...

    Yeah, those fan grills are pimp. Must cost a fair bit to get customs made? Thanks for filling us in man, I look forward to seeing progress :D

    Yeah :-\ Can't say I felt like cleaning up first :S I'll do it on a day I feel not-so-lazy.

    Windows Boots up slow

    Naw, not at all. It depends where you plug it in on your PC. If you plugged it in S-ATA1, then it would be primary master.
