Apparently Modern Warfare teams use the pro gamer mouse.
Stopped the video there.

[wasphone]

They have to comply to certain brands for advertising monies.

[IdiotStorm]

On the list thing they made at the start it said "Build a Reasonably Priced Gaming PC" but the rest of the video is "hurr durr let's burn money"

[editline]asdfasd[/editline]

Also they wasted fucktons of money on "SUP3R UB3R 1337 PR0 GAM3R GEAR" and nVidia 3D Vision, seriously the max I would pay for a mouse is £15

[Pruneyman]

I wish I could win that. :smith:

Mainly so I could sell all the parts...

I tried to go on, but they kept showing all of the "L33t Pr0" bullshit like the keyboard and the mouse mat, but the stupidity was too much.

[sp00ks]

i hate pro gamers and anything associated with them.

The way you pronounce it isn't necessarily the right way.

[Dr Nick]

If money isn't a problem, I'd have bought a couple of 256GB SSDs and stuck them in RAID0 and used the Caviar Black for storage of older, less resource hungry games.

Also they've barely got enough power to run 4 GTX 480s at full load, let alone 2 CPUs.

I say it as

Too bad they couldn't educate their idiot console fanbase that you can build a $700 PC that can rip through most games today reasonably well, and certainly better than what current console hardware is capable of doing.

The whole geek in scientist suit stunt probably just scared off another potential PC gamer.

Perhaps if you exclude the monitor and other peripherals.

Not really. There is only one way to pronounce a word.

That was hilarious.

[GrizzlyBear]

4x 480s?
:wtc:

[FalconKrunch]

Ugh, 2 hipsters putting a computer together and talking about pro-gaming.

Fuck yeah >70 degree average temperature on any game.

Seriously, that doesn't cool well at all. And is a waste of money, 4x480s scales pretty badly for the cost.

[HumanAbyss]

I don't know why you're bitching about buying an expensive mouse or keyboard, I have 70$ mouse and I don't regret it at all, it is so much better than anything else I've ever used. Same with my keyboard.

Aluminium.
Al-ooh-mini-um.

It's how it's spelt.

Same thing goes for "herbs". Why Americans pronounce it "Erbs" is beyond me.

[Spartan8907]

Fuck, UK residents only. Why is it on the US site as well then?

[editline]02:50PM[/editline]

I like the UK/Aussie version for saying Aluminum better. I'm in the US.

[editline]02:51PM[/editline]

Also how you guys pronounce Zs.

Aluminum isn't slept Aluminium. Uh-loo-min-um.

Also, it's a silent H

[GrizzlyBear]

I have a chance to win it. :frogc00l:
Who am i kidding? :downs:

[Scot]

Rich people know nothing about computers.

[wasphone]

I think a gaming mouse is only useful for extra buttons and sensitivity adjustments.

My friend has a mouse that has an entire numbed on it. It is kinda useful but a little too mucu

No duh, that whole list was things that they decided not to do, the final idea was "Greatest Gaming Rig" not "Greatest reasonable priced gaming rig"

:downs:

[G-Strogg]

What the shit.

Hey guys I built a reasonably priced gaming computer. It's got two 6-core CPU's and 24 gigs of RAM. Also 4 gtx 480.

1. that won't be reasonable
2. you could run crysis on 120 fps at max settings and only use less than half of that machine.
