i got a couple gaming stuff for my vaio:
1. a razor lechesis mouse: http://ariekanarie.nl/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/lachesis-side.jpg

2. Saitek cyborg rumblepad: http://www.maxconsole.net/content_img/360creza.jpg
the mouse is amazing, just google its specs. As for the controller, it's the best of two worlds, it has the firm grip of the 360 controller and the normal symetrical analog stick and d-pad; its crazy for SF4.

Yes it is HAF cooler master 932, and about the cables just twists them around a screw driver really hard and they should shape like that

good PC give us Benchmarking once you do them.

Just to know if it is worth to buy such an expensive computer.
I always bought expensive stuff (200$ for a VGA that didnt keep up with the games already installed that day) til I learned to buy the cheapest and lowest performance hardware (especially CPU and VGA) as they last longer and you don't over-estimate them.

hahaha i know it's not VGA it's just the slang we got used to when we were young so i apologizejulien_saadeh wroteCan you post a few frames per second in games on this thing?_joe_ wroteAfter all the request:P my PC Specs:

As for the price of the parts, i got this computer for 1200$ (only tower and components) i hada lot of good deals and price match (on the website you send a page of the same item on a different website with a lower price, they give it to you at the lower price) so basically got the lowest price ever for every part (el lebneneh harbou2:P)
The mais issue with parts is compatibility, you have to get perfectly harmonized parts in order to get the best out of your pc, imagine i get 8gb of ram, it's like adding a turbo to a car, but putting it next to you and never using it.
I bought this Pc back in 2008 and i know that in a couple of years ill overclock it and it will still kick it.
Just know 1 thing, all games (98%) now are developed for consoles and then migrated to PC, so Basically, if you have a pc that runs recent games like Borderlands, MW2 and others on the highest settings, you're set for the coming years, no one knows how long, but i can assure you it will last, until someone comes up with a new technology "just for pcs" and want to experiment, like in the days of CRYSIS where running the game on full settings was an achievement. so until a game like CRYSIS is released, your pc is gona last, happily and the way i'm seeing it, there are no intentions of PC only games in the near future :D
You want me to benchmark which games?
- Edited
The newest ones, like Command and Conquer 4, CoD MW2, Dirt2, NFS Shift....
Oh... and GTA 4 because this game crashed many computers, including my laptop :P.

lol its ok i got used to it is just we are gamers/geeks so this not in our territory.
As for CRYSIS:http://www.lebgeeks.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=6322
btw the PS3 version looks darker. :P

It's always worth it getting the best for what you need, i got a core 2 instead of a quad or the newly announced I7 (back in 2008) cause i knew that i dont need the quad, i got the best intel i could get (the wolfdale was rated as best intel cpu of the decade and is still number 1 on several computer parts websites in canada) it's just that it's extremely stable, going up to 4.5ghz in a breeze (ma bi 2oul akh) so imagine an overclocked 4.5ghz vs a low end or even middle end quad or i7, and all that for a baby price of 200$ (the lowest i7 available was starting at 700$)Just to know if it is worth to buy such an expensive computer.
as for the graphic card i was going to get the 4750 cause it was half the price, but then after reading the reviews on Tom's hardware, compared to the GTX280 (back then) priced at 680$, the 4870 (priced at 330$) was delivering an amazing benchmark similar to the GTX280 (the radeon 4850 was behind with at least 20fps on everygame) since i had a 24inch 1920x1200 resolution so i went for the 330$ 4870 card and i never regret it.
Get the optimal, get what you need, not what you think you want
That's exactly what i'm talking about, CRYSIS is a playground for experimentation, but that's it, no other game make your PC cry and go to its momy wanting to get upgraded. So get it on console hehe.kareem_nasser wrotelol its ok i got used to it is just we are gamers/geeks so this not in our territory.

I didnt get a console in canada so im not a console player, but i feel a PS3 knocking on my door, we will see. i just have a very satisfying pc station and i'm a shooter player, mouse and keyboard are my obsession. maybe in a couple of months you'll see me posting my console ids. just not yet
That's right, as of now, I would prefer to get a new Sound card rather than a graphics card, because it will bring me better Sound in movies :D. I am not a gamer anymore and I don't even feel like seeing something full-screen :P_joe_ wroteGet the optimal, get what you need, not what you think you want

Uff it's been years i didnt go to a shop and buy games, i have to go shopping then, i used to download them via rapidshare(don't say anything in the broadband/connection thread, they would murder me :P:P)The newest ones, like Command and Conquer 4, CoD MW2, Dirt2, NFS Shift....
Oh... and GTA 4 because this game crashed many computers, including my laptop :P.
OH and GT4 is installing, i just remembered that i downloaded before leaving canada, i'll benchmark it using FRAPS and ill post screenshots. aslan i wanted to test the game
