  1. Not too sure then. My initial problem with the 24" was my video card, 7800 GT. FPS was good, always above 60, but I got mouse lag like you. Did the DPI thing, got better. Switched to a different DVI cable, even better. Reformatted, went X1900XTX, flawless. :] I've read tons of forums, some people have issues with mouse lag, some don't. Don't know what causes it, or how people fix it. Well, in Oblivion, they set render ahead from 3 to 0 and that fix's it for the one game.
  2. I went through this problem awhile ago Cujo. You need to bump up to 1600 or 2000 DPI on your mouse. Then lower your desktop or in-game mouse sensitivity to get things back to comfortable. It's an annoying process.... Option two, set the monitor to 1:1 and run at 1600x1200 with the black bars.

    I'M MORE BORED THAN ALL OF YOU PUT TOGETHER, THIS IS THE SLOWEST FRIDAY EVER. I'm also hung over and spent 10 minutes staring at a pile of change on my desk... Any baseball fans here.
  4. He rushes every round and catches people off guard. There's a few .gc members that do the same thing every round with p90's and do very well KPD wise. Not all 3:1 ratio players hold back for a minute and a half, bait teammates, play cleanup and pick people off with AK's and AWPS. Best way to catch a haqr is record the demo, and watch it in wireframe mode.
  5. I went with a Dell 2405. Every few days there's a new summer sale. Hold off until you see the 15% off deal (always comes with free shipping!). OR Go on EBay and try to find a %30 off Dell coupon (they go for around $30-50).
  6. I'd go with the 7800GS. http://www.tomshardware.com/2006/05/08/200...rt1/page42.html Every benchmark in that review, the AGP 7800GS is 50% faster than the AGP X1600. Don't confuse the PCI-E X1600 and AGP version. I've got the X1900XTX myself. If your sporting a big LCD (24"-30") you need the extra horsepower.
  7. Slackware. Hands down the most robust distribution. Anyhow, Linux is so 1997, FreeBSD is where the money is!
  8. http://slickdeals.net/#p7443 Dell UltraSharp 2405FPW $999 - 30% - $60 VZ88CG$L8NQR0C = $639 + tax <-- Sub-total $639.30 Shipping & Handling $11.00 Shipping & Handling Discount -$11.00 Tax $38.36 Total Price $677.66 Hell of a deal if anyone is looking for a new monitor. ***Actually, I just checked and the 2405FPW is now $849.15!!! That makes the monitor $534?*** I know some people buy the 30% off coupons on eBay (they are usually around $20). If you click the comments link at 'http://slickdeals.net/#p7443'; it seems that people sign up for a Dell business login and get the coupons that way? One per customer I guess?
  9. I prefer these kind of hackers, they come in and give us something to laugh about for a minute. They are promptly given the boot! It's those noobs that toggle a few kills per map that bug me... (<-- You reading this m2 )
  10. I use, Sony MDR-EX71 and Shure e2c. I like comfortable sound isolation buds with a little more oomph in the bass. These let you hear alot more at low volumes so you don't go deaf. The Shure e3c, Etymotic ER-6i, Super Fi. 5 don't have the heavy bass I like, but dominate mid and high range. Earmuff style bothers me after 5 minutes. Canal type, you don't even know your wearing them.
  11. "May I ask why you are selling after having it for all of 4 months?" My 19" Lacie CRT died, so I ended up replacing it with some big screen LCD madness. To run resolutions like 1920x1220 and 2560x1600 with all the bells and whistles, you need to either SLI or get a X1900XTX/7900GTX. I went ATI because I got a REALLY good deal through a friend.
  12. EVGA 7800 GT CO (470Mhz/1100Mhz) Flawless condition, lifetime warranty, stock cooling, stock overclock, never modified. I've had this card since January. http://hardware.gamershell.com/articles/ev...0_gt_co_review/ I bought this specific card because it is comparable in performance to a 7800GTX (but didn't cost $600). Everything it originally came with is included (cables, adapters, CDs, box, etc). $225
  13. Western Digital 74Gb, 10000rpm, 8Mb SATA Hard Drive - WD740GD You won't regret this purchase. Especially for CSS.
  14. Sim. 74GB Raptor. It's nice when you can record a demo and not notice any chugging. It's also kinda nifty when your computer takes less than 10 seconds to boot up. :]
