Mike, I see you RMA'ed the Gigabite lol. Well at least you got your problem solved.  Impressive build there! The only things I have new are a new vid card (BFG 8800 GT OC 512 mb GDDR3).  And because it's like, THE LAW when I get a new vid card, I gotta get a new mouse too, so I picked up a Logitech G5 Laser.  Absolutely love them both. The following is a bit dated in a few areas, but still kicking major ass. This reflects my build for 2008. Motherboard: ABIT AN8 32X Processor: AMD 64 3800+ X2 (dual core) Memory: CORSAIR XMS TWINX (2 GB) Hard Drives: WD Raptor (36 GB) / WD Caviar (250 GB) Video Card: Nvidia (BFG) GeFORCE 8800 GT OC (512 MB GDDR3) Monitor: RCA 26" Widescreen LCD HDTV Monitor/TV (8ms) Sound Card: AC97 Onboard 7.1 Surround Sound Speakers/Headphones: Logitech Z640's 5.1 / Logitech USB 350 Headset Keyboard: Saitek Eclipse II Mouse: Logitech G5 Laser (2000 dpi) Mouse Surface: Rocketfish Gaming Mouse Pad Operating System: Vista Ultimate |

Matt, I hope you upgrade soon and come check out some these newer Direct-X 10 games like Bioshock and Crysis. Amazing graphics and effects. Mike, it's a corded mouse. The pic above looks like they photo-shopped it out. There is a cordless version of the G5 out there. It's called the G7, but I wouldn't recommend it for gaming due to latency and battery life issues. I was looking at the newest one Logitech offers called the G9. For $99, you get a whopping 3500 dpi mouse, but it's really just overkill if you ask me lol. Not only that, but the G9 was way too small for my hand and didn't feel right to me, and that's the most important thing. That's why I decided on the cozy 2000 dpi G5. And it was on sale at Best Buy for $49.99 make me holla long time!  |

50 bucks for a good comfortable gaming mouse is a reasonable price ill have to look into that once my razor dies if it ever dies lol now if fedex would only hurry up with that mobo ill be happy last few days with this gigabyte board has left me a sour customer 3 times i have called and all 3 times theve told me to do something diffrent yet they all claim they are gonna research the problem and call me back still waiting for the phone to ring fucking assholes
i swear i really dont understand how one person can get shaffted on tech support when its one person in genral for everyone that owns a product why treat them diffrently makes no sense at all
