This question is either very simple, or possible way more difficult than it seems at first. Basically I have a 5 button mouse, buttons 4 and 5 are mapped in the driver software to windows mouse button 4 and 5. This is good, I want this to be the case, however, I don't want windows (windows 7)...

For durability you want a proper fabric covered office chair, the decent ones have very durable fabric which will last a decade+ of intensive use. unfortunately they are rather expensive, spend any less than about £150 and you're throwing your money away and the proper ones start at about...

Yeah TV as a monitor is a bad idea as the resolution just sucks, and perhaps more importantly the dot pitch is horrible. Unless you will only use the computer as a games (with controller) and media machine, otherwise monitor is the only sensible choice - also would be a bit of a waste of any...

I've recently installed an OCZ Agility 3 SSD as my main system drive, migrating the OS across was a nightmare but that is done now. However, the drive is currently running on a SATA2 controller, my mobo doe have a SATA3 controller so naturally I want to swap it over to that. THe tricky part...

No, the recommended wattage takes into account the whole system not just your graphics card. Trust me, the card does not use 450W or anything like that, off the top of my head i'd guess no more than 200W max under full load (which is something you'd not see in ordinary use), and probably 300W...

Thanks for posting but that's no good, for one I don't know if you can extend windows encryption to removable media, and even if you can how is the other person going to decrypt it? the point of the exercise is that I need to send encrypted data to a third party who won't have any special...

Hey, does anyone know of any freeware CD encryption software for XP. It needs to be strong, AES 256 preferablly, and needs to function from the CD without the recipient of the CD needing to install any software - like a digital vault. Also the licence has to include commercial use as I want to...

I have a weird hard drive problem, I have a 1gb Samsung drive which works just fine, when I plug in a maxtor drive alongside it it does not show in bios and linux/xp cannot see it - however if I then unplug the samsung the maxtor appears in bios.... Powermax cant find it, but I have successfully...

To quote techgage in their review of the copperhead: In my opinion to have a gaming PC with a cheap mouse is like having the most expensive graphics card you can find with a 14" crt. You computer is compeletely irrelevent and useless without three vital bits of interface kit, monitor...

looks like an interesting mouse, its hard to tell from the pictures i've found but it seems to have a fairly high back, can I conclude that its a palm grip mouse?

For me there is one reason why the PC blows consoles out of the water and that is controls, I don't care what anyone says keyboard + mouse > controller for FPS, RTS, and RPG games, and those are my main genre, esp. FPS. In summary: Consoles: Pro: 1) Split screen gaming 2) Cheap PC: Pro: 1)...

OK well with regard to keyboard layouts: US keyboard, which you will be familiar with: UK Keyboard, notice the \| key is between the Z and LShift, this is important for gaming as it is an extra key near the wsad cluster: The G11 sounds interesting but looking at it it is huge! Same goes...

My old keyboard died a death of tea spillage so I'm looking out for a new keyboard, its a nightmare because the keyboard is a vital piece of gaming kit and yet its pretty much overlooked in reviews as such. So, what, for a reasonable price, is the best gaming keyboard? And by gaming keyboard I...

Why would you want your wrist off the desk!? thats a sure way to get RSI if you are hovering your arm above the desk. Thats interesting, i've never considered there are different styles of holding the mouse.. now you've mentioned it I do only hold the mouse with my finger tips - most of the...

yeah well they probably don't care about the asian market because lets be honest, there is no asian market... they all use pirated software :D It will be hacked almost immediately to have LAN play anyway.
