THQ store is having a big sale on Dawn of War 2 and its expansion. One was $7.50 and the other just $5. Make sure you don't get their "extended download service" and just put the product keys into Steam so you don't have to worry about not being able to download it later.

I think they had some other sales as well, but this is the only computer game I've been wanting to play until Diablo 3 comes out.

Now I need to see about getting a nicer graphics card so I can run it on something other then low settings.

Probably going to get a gaming mouse soon. I really need some suggestions as I like too many of them. Also, will all those flashy mice with LEDs and crap work on laptops? Don't know whether my USB ports on this laptop are powered or not. Thanks.

I'm pretty sure that all usb ports are powered, shouldn't matter if they are laptop or desktop. I don't know much about specific gaming mice, but I did just buy a new mouse a couple of days ago. I'm all about not spending any money on things, so it's just this cheap thing. It's still a heck of a lot nicer then the last mouse I bought back in 2005.

Speaking of not spending a lot of money, I think I've finally finished building my new computer, I'd be interested to see what people think about it.
Posted Image
Case: Free from a $10 pentium I bought back in 2000
CPU: Phenom II x4 unlocked from an x2 I got for $99
Mobo: MSI 785GTM-E45 Free with the processor, thank you Microcenter!
RAM: 4gigs of DDR2 for $55
GPU: Superclocked Edition GT 240, $40 after I send in this rebate form. Obviously the weak link, but it plays Dawn of War 2 on high settings, and Diablo 3 probably could play off the integrated card, so why spend more?

I had the monitor, PSU, and harddrive from previous computers, and the dvd burner was a gift. I'll probably get a terabyte sized drive sometime this summer, but those have been getting super cheap lately as well.

It may not be the best, but I'm pretty sure it's the best value. I think those Microcenter deals are still going on and good from their online store too.

USB ports since at least 2001 have been powered, no issue there.
If you need a "gaming" mouse, avoid most wireless mice, There is an inherent amount of lag.


My personal mouse:
Sidewinder X3
It's comfy and takes a beating, plus you can get them cheap

The only problem I see with the Sidewinder X3 is that the side buttons are quite inconvenient...
I was thinking either the Logitech MX518 or the Razer Deathadder. Even though they're quite a bit more, they're suited to what I need, however I don't know which one to get as they are both reasonably good mice. Any other suggestions?

Well I had added hot glue domes to the side buttons. Makes it easier to hit the buttons, but I still haven't really used them yet.

I've played on Steam a few times on my friend's computer, but I'm not sure if my computer is powerful enough. It is a new-ish MacBook Pro, not sure on specs. I think I can run Steam on Bootcamp.

Steam is Mac friendly now too, you'll have to check it for which games have been ported over.

Yo, Velveeta. I still got that case if your interested. I understand not wanting to redo a build, but if you want it, I can hook you up. I kinda want it gone before I have to junk it for college.
Infact, if anyone wants a computer case, and can come to my house to get it, they can have it. I'll take like... $10 for it.
Its a Raidmax Smilidon in green and black. Badass, I know.

If you're a sucker for giant robots Front Mission Evolved is 75% off today. I think I might get it when I get back home tonight, but I was wondering if anybody here has tried it. Is it as bad as the reviews say?

Apologies for the necro ahead of time, but I think it would be fine.

Finally got a system capable of playing games (G53SX-XT1). I have every valve game (picked up the complete pack half off), the potato sack (killing floor notably), all of the humble bundles since 3, and Serious Sam HD first and second encounters. My account is the same as here (balisticjoe).

Well, the winter sale is going on. I don't know if any of you are doing the great gift pile achievements/challenges, but if anybody wants to trade coupons and coal I've got a 25% off GNCgames I would like to get rid of.

I hate to be here begging, but does anyone have any TF2 items they would want to give me? Even if you just spare a Pain Train, it would be greatly appreciated. Add me on steam, nickbass95 if you're interested in "donating."
