dont listen to danz... :D

teh logi g5 ($80) is awesome - pcshopper, my accuracy when up by about 10-20% when used with an icemat ($70) mouse pad - hardly normal

zalman 5.1 headset with mic is th way to go - cost me $79 3-4years ago and still going strong. gamedude has them for $69 but they are not the cheapest

ok ok ok, i have pissed off teh computer gods, somehow...

MSI CAN GO GET @#$# ::megapissed::

i bought the MSI mb as it was $50 cheaper than the gigabytle counterpart not knowin the problems ahead...

when trying to get win xp to boot, i put in bios to boot from cdrom, nop - u acctually ahve to specify the exact drive

next when installing th drivers for the mb, the computer freeses everytime and u have to reinstall windows - dl latest ones from net and pasted that

then everytime i plug her printer in, it comes up with "power surge on hub" so i say its the printer cause it stopped the last computer workin - new $200 epson RX530, prob fixed

but.... everytime i plug in a usb stick or card reader - same problem "power surge on hub" ffs ::derro::

ok, got around that prob... ~crossing fingers~

thought i would put the usb card reader into the usb por where the keyboard was - and it worke, put keyboard into there i was puttin teh reader and surge, ok those ports fooked

put keyboard into front usb and surge, they fooked too - luckly there are two more internal usb ports, switch front usb ports to second internal plug and it works, so two dead usb controllers on one brand new MSI board

all workin fine now - tape over spare back ports, put tape over internal dead port and ::ringadingding::

ps. ~fingers crossed~
