Couldn't agree more. The MX1000 is truly the best mouse I know of on the market.

It makes me very happy.

Yeah, I have to agree that is pretty impressive. Now if you built this yourself I'd bow down to your greatness Humble... But, I build my own comps myself. I like the hands on....

MX1000 is wireless so IT SUCKS. Never use wireless mouses for gaming, they lag and they're too heavy.
Best mouse is Razor Diamondback. 2nd best is Logitech MX 510.
And get a good mousepad for optical mouses.

Why in the world would you overclock your PCI and AGP ports? You do know that's not the best thing in the world to do, and that most upper-end motherboards even have a feature that locks it in at the correct frequency to prevent problems, right?

I agree with this man.

I am really surprised by the number of Intel users in this post. I thought AMD had a much better market share than that, atleast amongst gamers. But then again, it does look like most of the people in this thread bought their PCs instead of building them, so that may explain it.

Not rich, just smart. If you would have built our own computer instead of buying a Dell you'd probably have a better PC than most of us.

Nearly 4 years old and still a kickin.Of course new comp is in the near future.I've been waiting till prices and tech became a lil more stable.Getting the best out there and spending top dollar only to have new tech at better prices 5 months down the road doesn't appeal to me
