The 9HD is bigger, although the 4HD would be big enough. Take measurements of how much space you have.


Hell, 3200 dpi and my mouse only has to move 4cm to reach ther other side of the screen.

Mouse sensitivity is easy to get used to, just get the smaller one.

I think the Razer Blackwidow is around $140, but it's made with cheap plastic and it's way overpriced.

That's not even the complaints from the majority of Blackwidow Buyers, it's just the spacebar presses the alt keys on some bad ones.

I'm having no problems with mine, most mechs come with ABS keycaps standard, and the BlackWidow is also part ABS body. The BlackWidow has the same plactics used to make Filco keyboards and Das.

It's just a gamble really, if your spacebar is botched, just trade it in for a different BlackWidow.

The Macroing software is great though, really useful for all sorts of things. Not many keyboards have OTF Macro recording, let alone Mechanical keyboards, though the lack of NKRO is usually a dealbreaker, the matrix allows 6KRO for gaming "hotkeys", such as Reload, WASD, spacebar, etc.

So really, the only thing that sets it aside is the OTF Macro Recording. By all means, it's not as overpriced as you think it is, but it also does what you want it to do.

I found this keyboard that interested me. 100% Cherry MX black, detachable number pad, programmable keys, looks cool.


I think it looks horrible.

Not a bad keyboard, though.

Das is a bad mechanical brand anyway, unless you get the silent pro version. It has tacky plastic that attracts fingerprints easily, and if definitely different than a Filco. Blackwidows also use inferior stabilizers. Costar stabilizers are by far the best, and are only found on Rosewill non-illuminated keyboards, the Cooler Master Rapid, Filco boards, and WASD boards. All others use Cherry's, iOne, or some other bad brand.

So really, the only thing that sets it aside is the OTF Macro Recording. By all means, it's not as overpriced as you think it is, but it also does what you want it to do. But you could also get a G13 or Nostromo which is a better value and the same price as purchasing a TKL instead of a TK with macro buttons.

The Haf X doesn't have a carry handle?

If it weighs as much as mine, you're screwed when carrying it.
No, but it does have wheels.

I use 5700 dpi, yet I find the 4HD too small because I like to rest my arm on my mousepad.

You can do way better for the price though. Check out this.

Do you use that all the time, or just for gaming? I have mine on 1600dpi when gaming and browsing the web, and even that feels a little high.

All the time. Minimal effort moving the mouse translates to less fatigue or cramping for prolonged periods of time.

You're like a slinky. Good for nothing, but you bring a smile to my face when I push you down the stairs.

Anyone know where I can get a cheap core 2 quad?

Can't really use anything more than that for gaming.

Try it, doesn't take long to adjust.
I literally just ramped it upto max and took me half an hour to get used to.

I think I'm quite comfortable with this one.

Hey guys.
I need to write an essay about Intel CPU Architecture and compare it to the Architecture of AMD's CPU's.
Also, general info about the CPU's, and of course the Benchmarks.

So, is anyone giving the IE10 beta a spin on Win7? Seems pretty snappy.

the flood, there a bunch of jerks, but there my jerks.

6400 DPI tops on the Razer Imperator lol. I use 4000 for browsing the internet and 1800-4000 DPI for gaming.

Also what does the reset button do on a motherboard or case?

And Where are the best places to grab a motherboard by?

Also it a mother board grounded once you screw it into the case?

Plus what are the best options I have when it comes to 1920x1080 23"+ monitors? I would it to have a Displayport or HDMI port, but if it comes to DVI I won't mind that much. Price range $200 max. Been looking at ASUS ones.

For the motherboard, are you talking about the reset button by the power button, or the CMOS restart button?

And Where are the best places to grab a motherboard by?Newegg, Amazon, NCIX, Tigerdirect, etc. are all okay. I'd suggest Newegg or Amazon.

Also it a mother board grounded once you screw it into the case?Yes, although you still have to be careful around it.

Plus what are the best options I have when it comes to 1920x1080 23"+ monitors? I would it to have a Displayport or HDMI port, but if it comes to DVI I won't mind that much. Price range $200 max. Been looking at ASUS ones.This. 2ms, LED, 1080p, 24".

I meant the button on my case, sorry to be confusing lol.

I meant where to hold the MOBO haha.

Thanks for the advice.

Looks nice.

It does the same thing that you case reset button would do. It's meant for people who don't have a case or are lacking those buttons.

And when holding the mobo, hold the edges.
