So i've got my new case. Need to do a few tweaks with my cables but all in all this s**t is nice.
Just ordered me some Cooler Master Parts to upgrade it a little better. I'll have pictures up soon. The touch sensitive power on button is awesome!

I grabbed these three things.

* Better front Panel

* I have 6 120mm fan slots on this baby, I grabbed two of these, much needed.

* The recently released side panel

I LOVE THAT CASE

So it's been almost a year... Received 300$ from the government plus some other income which has gone towards a few things I just purchased. I'm sitting on my hands for the i7-dd3 gear at the moment (cpu, mobo, ram). Maybe in 3-4 months better equipment will be out. Look and see game, plus price drops. I bought the following. My focus was on lower ping, better connection first. I have the connection but not the right equip, s**t wipes for a network card + router.

Frag brought this router to my attention, something I was looking at myself a few weeks ago but with no knowledge until today.

Highly overpriced, I read it was going for 99$ a few months ago, then 140$ then 170$. Guess I missed out.It's a Network Card btw

I think It was m1nd that introduced me to this mouse. I'm checking this out tired of the G3.

Damn brohamlet, very nice.

I would be interested on your thoughts of that Ethernet card... I was reading something about it somewhere saying you can have some kind of P2P going and still game with no performance hit..

been researching mucho on this card, didn't want to waste 200 for nothing. but it looks promising. just wish it was cheaper

thought the KI card was bologna?! hmmm...see if I can find some articles.

just keep the 200 or put it towards a liquid cooling kit

what i'm going to do is throw this network card in with the current router i have now and test the differences. then do the same with the new router i ordered. just to see if it's what it says, i'm sure these items i bought will drop my ms a good 20-30 in game. i want dsl fios from verizon so much but it's unavailable.
