Recently built myself a new gaming rig (Athlon 64 3800+ X2, 1gig Cosair DDR400, 2x BFG Geforce 6800GT OC) so... I thought i'd upgrade the monitor the other day too.

Dell 2005FPW (old news for some people, but my first LCD monitor)
20.1" Viewable, Widescreen, portrait mode, etc etc etc.

Very nice setup man! I'm not ragging on your monitor at all, trust me I think that it is very nice, but I will say that my personal preference for a gaming monitor has always been a 17". Seems that they are just the right size. But then again, all I really ever play is counter strike : )

lol @ Leeeerrooooyyy

I just bought myself a mx518 about 2 weeks ago >=D Beautiful mouse. Especially for games like Battlefield 2. A regular mouse works great for infantry, but as soon as you hop in a tank and the turret is spinning around slower than snail piss ... ooooh that's where the ++sensitivity button shines.

Pffft... logitech mice are inferior to Razer mice. Once you play w/ the Razer Copperhead other mice seem... slow. I had the honor of using one of those for the first round of the Q2 tournament at QuakeCon (one of my friends worked at the Razer booth and let me use it) and wow, the response was amazing. I also used it when playing Quake 4 multiplayer and Battlefield 2 on the Intel machines there (they regularly used the MX518) and you could tell a DRASTIC difference between the two. The feel in your hand, quick response, and the applications it comes with kick ass.

P.S. I'd love to play you on some aim maps, I'm sure I'd kick your ass :D

Great, now I gotta reinstall CS:S so I can lay the proverbial 'smack down' unto thee.


The thing that gets me about CS:S compared to other games (BF2 for example): I _hate_ waiting for rounds to end. BF2, 15s respawn and you're back in the game having fun. CS:S.... gotta wait and wait and wait if you get cheaped early.

Just my personal gripe, I know that's how the game is played and adds extra "realism" to everything but meh; not my cup of tea.

As a matter of fact, I hate tea.
Hate it.

edit: holy piss, I need some more practice with CS:S. Haven't played since it was freshly released on source. I got a victorious 3/10 ratio my first round (expected). I'm just surprised those 3 weren't TKs. *practices* :snipe:

Ever use the diamondback? It's feel in-game is a whole lot better than the MX518... not to mention that it has higher-precision data so that you can get more accuracy on low-sensitivity settings. Once you use one you'll recognize what I'm talking about.
