Are you able to mount one of the drives in a different place, because three 10,000rpm drives sandwiched like that will get real hot.

If you removed the drive from the middle of the cage the other 2 would get good airflow from the fan next to the HDD cage. But 3 just blocks the airflow, so if you can find a different place for one that would be a good idea...

The MX518 mouse is great, i also have it

I found that getting use to such high sensitivity was difficult, so i started at 800dpi, then after a couple of days started using 1000, and just kept bumping it up. 1600dpi is great

Bit twitchy for sniping in BF2 though, so the on-the-fly sensitivity adjustment is very handy.

Even though the G5 has 2000dpi i would still say the MX518 is better all round, because:

#1) Its cheaper.
#2) 1600dpi is damn good anyway.
#3) It has 2 buttons on the side instead of 1.
#4) The + and - sensitivty buttons are at different ends of the mouse wheel and so are easy to find without looking away from the screen.

Also i'd choose the MX518 or G5 over the G7. Wireless mice are dumb IMO. I dont take my mouse away from my desk anyway, so why would i want to have to use batteries!?

I'd like a Saitek Eclipse keyboard... I'd prefer a Logitech G15, but its too wide for my desk. It'd leavce no space for my mouse

Good placement of the res!

I'd imagine having it outside rather than in would also help drop temps a bit.

hmmmm.....I think you just sold me on the MX518! The biggest selling point for me is the 2 side buttons. I currently have them on my mouse, and really like them. I like a really sensitive mouse, I am not sure what my current one is.....but if its even more precise, that would be sweet!

Re Harddrives: The two 74 gigs only spin at 7500 rpms so it not as fast as the 150 gig which goes at 10,000 rpms. There is a fan directly on them and 4 other fans in the case. I would prefer to leave them there.....I could possibly move one HD, but would like ot keep them all in the same place.

Man I wish this project was moving faster.! thanks for watching!

Yea, if they are 74gb Raptors, they spin at 10,000RPM...Check my specs...

mattlb0619 · 09-06-06

I have the MX-518 and the Saitek Eclipse and would recomend both of them for the same reasons

The 2 buttons on the side are the mouse I use all the time when browsing. The 2 sensitivity buttons on top are so easy to use and its great that you can just turn the sensitivity down a bit in the game for a precision snipe then turn it straight back up again

The only button I dont really use is the application switch button only because Im so used to Alt Tabbing

Which is placed far enough back that you never accidentally hit it. I love my 518.

Ya, I am an idiot. All raptors are 10000. I thought wrong!

Cool. That makes up my mind. I am def. getting an MX-518 mouse!!!

Thanks!
