Wow that Logitech Mouse looks overweight....pretty wide I'd say. I like the red lights on the side with the Adjustable DPI but it looks a little to big for me. My MX18 mouse also from Logitech seems a bit thinner and more ergonomic. I still need a good mouse pad though. I've been using the wooden surface of my desk which is pretty smooth and works well but a mouse pad really is what I should have. I've been looking at this one.

Yea thats similiar to what I have, very good, definately recommend it if you game alot.

derek_jones_36 · 03-03-2009, 06:30 PM

Very Nice. Well I should grab that one this weekend if they have it in stock. I need something that's not going to be too oversized that it will be cumbersome. I was going to go for the glass surface mouse pad but I was worried it might be too fragile.

actually the G9 gaming mouse is super light and it has adjustable wieghts you can put in

4 x 4 gram weights
4 x 7 gram weights

derek_jones_36 · 03-04-2009, 08:04 PM

The G9 Gaming Mouse is at Futureshop for $80 Off at $69.99. Not too sure if that's a good deal or not.

Mcninjaguy · 03-04-2009, 09:51 PM

that is a good deal

I mean it was overpriced to begin wit but now the price is actually reasonable

when I sad I bought it for $110 that includes Canadian taxes at 13%

so I think it was $90 and then with taxes around $101.70

The mouse is real nice cuz you can totally change your play style with adjustable DPI
I have 5 settings perconfigured in the Setpoint driver
3200 dpi
2800 dpi
2400 dpi
2000 dpi
1600 dpi

I like my mouse fast and I can snipe very well with 2400 dpi and lower and plus it has 1,000 reports a minute for where the mouse is so its super accurate. and the mouse whell clicks side to side and the normal down. it can roll freely too, like I press a button on the bottom of the mouse it disengages the clicking action of the wheel and it spins freely - real handy for scrolling through big documents

I Know this is a little off topic right now but in my online travels I was looking for something I could use to tidy up my case on the interior with regards to cable management and I found this kit for cable clips. The Six cable holders in the bottom left of the pic are amazing. I had one of these in my case but it snapped off when I was installing a fan. If you can place these in the right spots then you can really eliminate alot of what I like to call "CC" for Cable Clutter. I plan on getting this set (or two) to really neaten up the inside of my case. They really look like they would be great for PSU Cables .

Yeah then I was looking at the Tiger.ca site and the tool that I am I never thought they would have the same clips in a bulk pack for $27.99 from Cables-to-Go.

I just stick to cable ties. Cheap as chips and you can get a thousand for a couple of bob.
I always route cables before any other item is fitted with the case as a skeleton. Those commonly used cables like the 24pin, the 4pin ATX and the 6/8 pin graphics cable can be routed part way, then left with a bit free for removal and if you change motherboards.

This is a good Idea I also before I begin figure out which plugs im gonna need and tie up what I don't need before I even start building.

**grimx133** · 03-09-2009, 03:51 PM

Similar here, I separate the cables into two bundles, the ones I'm going to use, and the ones I'm not. Then I stash the ones I'm not, first thing. Much more difficult to hide unused cables if you don't do it right away. That's one of the best things about the 1200, there's enough space behind the tray to run and/or hide all your cables.

**stressfreesoul** · 03-11-2009, 05:20 PM

I always leave a 5.25" bay empty at the top for them with a drive in the next one down. Unless there is enough space behind the PSU.
I dont get why modular PSU's arent as highly recommended as wired ones though, the lack of the cables there cant change much, can it?

**grimx133** · 03-11-2009, 11:34 PM

They're recommended, just a tad pricey for most. One more thing to accidentally unplug too, but not really a prob. One of these years I'll get a monster video card and psu.

M3guy · 03-12-2009, 10:02 PM

Alright Guys cleaned up my personal area now what do you think ?

Also added a small vent on top for the massive fan on the 850 watt Cooler Master.

Even cleaned the slurpee off of the wall lol.

CLAY_JoE · 03-13-2009, 04:03 AM

Nice one man, definitely looks a lot better than before.

Next I think you should modify your sofa, i.e. get rid of it

What case is that btw?

Mcninjaguy · 03-13-2009, 04:53 AM

Looking a lot better indeed

1 little suggestion I'd make though, through personal discovery

Instead of having the case on the floor, try lifting it up at least 6" off the carpet - The dust quantity will be reduced drastically.

I was evicting dust-bunnies and cleaning my PC on a monthly basis, until I sat the case on couple of strong boxes. Now it needs only cleaning approx. 8-9 months.
