Can't say hank is my favorite guy to buy stuff from, but $2.50 for a ratpadz is a great price. I bought four myself, as price/item goes down pretty good once shipping is included:

Curious how do they work vs laser mouses? I am in need of a new one myself but I found a lot of the coating they use now will bounce the laser causing erratic moment from time to time. Also what does the mousepad feel like?

*edit*
Also like was said plan to sell the other 3 :P The shipping from that site is retardedly over priced since you can buy one $10 shipped on the main site.

Was thinking about it, decided against it, gonna upgrade my dads mousing surface(aka his desk), then keep the other two as backups.

Which is why i said i don't like dealing with hank, quite poor shipping(for instance, $7 for the same flatrate box that costs anyone else $4.95 to ship). Their customer support is lacking at times as well....
 
I just realized how long this thread has been kept going since I started it in 2009 :D Well technically, I didn't start it, but I Made my own, and then one of the mods transferred it to this thread which was dead, but then it became a sticky and so on and so forth :P

Wow. Feel sorry for the guys who bought one before the massive drop. What with intel releasing the i3-560, AMD dropping price on the 640.
"Rounding out the quiet rollout are a couple of new sub-$100 Pentiums, the 3.33GHz E6800 and 3.0GHz E5700, and a new flagship Celeron E3500 chip running two cores at 2.7GHz for $52."

Pheewf. I think I will be getting one of the above CPUs for my new rig, most likely the E6800, i3-560, or the 640

I don't feel sorry for someone who wasted money on a 950 quite honestly, as the only i7's worth buying was the 920/930 or 980x IMO, the higher i7's didnt overclock any better.

Hmmm, I guess. In particular the 970, which was like a 980X but lower clock, no unlocked multiplier. And only 100 cheaper. Poor OC'er, too. You could eke out the same performance from a much cheaper 920/930, but everyone will be buying 950s now anyway, higher clock but otherwise the same as the lower i7s/and same price as of a few days ago

OCZ ModXStream Pro
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...7341018&cm_re=OCZ_700w-_-17-341-018-_-Product

After rebates $60 + its Modular. Bought one for back up PSU but warning only has 1 x 6-Pin, 1 x 6+2-Pin so beware if your running multiple GPUs. Can buy molex to 6/8 pin extension pieces over @ SVC.com for good prices + free shipping on most.

Eh, $60 isnt that great of a deal for a pretty mediocre sirtec built power supply. Once you factor in coupon code and rebate you can get a seasonic built 650W xfx for only $5 more:
