Hi,
Im looking to upgrade my PSU. I have a Hiper Type R 580W atm and it works fine. But im upgrading to a X1950XT from a X800GTO so im thinking i would prefer something with more power. Im also looking to get a new keyboard ect. Everything in my pc atm runs sweet loads games very fast.

Currentley running..

Gigabyte DQ6
E6300 and AC pro 7
X800GTO
4 SATA hard drives
Corsair XMS6400 DDR2 memory

I was thinking of getting the OCZ Gamerxtreme 700W it seems very reliable. And the Corsair 620W PSU. Only thing putting me off the Corsair one is i read the reveiw for it, and it says that under hot conditions if the device connectors arent gold the metal might corrode. Both are the same price.

Now onto the logitech G15. I play mainley conter stike source. And maybe sometimes BF2 for a laugh. Whats this keyboard like. Is it worth the £50 or should i get a saitek eclipse 2 ?..

Well im not exactley new to the forum. I was a previous member but i could not log in at all ect and conacted one of the admins and they couldnt sort it. But thanks in advance ;).
 
I have a G15, its the best keyboard I have ever used. Has lots of options, and the macro keys are a god send. Just right for playing wow, or Oblivion etc... Lots of good applets out there as well for the LCD screen, which is great, especially when you don't have a lot of time ;)

Worth every penny :)
 
I just use a Logitech Internet Pro and it does me fine.

I'v never had a problem at it and I play CSS and am in a clan and its great. allso I dont think I would get one for the money as its not like a gaming mouse its just pushing a button.

Allthough I must say they look very nice.

go with the Saitek Eclipse mk 2 - great keyboard , lovely feel to the keys and saves you a few quid over the G15.

True is it worth the extra money might as well go with eclipse if you want it that badly and have the money.

I can say that the Akasa amber is good. allso I just bought a Razer exactmat and I will have it tomorrow so you might want to get that rather than the mantis. i'll tell you what its like when I get it.
 
I use a everglide titan atm. Im a low sens user so cloth mats are better for me. Was told by one of the top gamers in the UK inetrnet scene that the razer speed is the one to get. ;). Isnt the exact mat a hard type of plastic ?..

well the exactmat I think is mad of Anodized Aluminum and is a hard sufrace. It is allso double sided one side for Contol and another side for Speed.
Its a nice big surface I so I guss it would be good for you if your a low sensitivity player.

But willl have it tomorrow so i'll let you know how it goes.
