Started getting a bit of double clicking with my Razer Deathadder Elite after nearly 4 years

 

Any recommendations for a replacement?

 

Still quite tempted to get another Razer with how well this one has served me

I had a Deathadder and loved it so when mine went i stuck with Razor and bought the Mamba Elite. I do have a thing for Razor mice.

“I wonder how the payment process works,” he said expecting a return to seller screen where he could close the browser. 
 

Nope - the order completed at the PayPal page. 
 

Safe to say I’ve seen the wife happier and threaten to smash fewer things.

Nice!  What case is that, looks like a Lian-Li O11 but a bit different?

Turns out I'm not getting the set in the picture - as in tiny writing it says 'for illustration purposes only'  Twats!

 

1st Player Steampunk SP7 is the one. Pretty similar I guess.

Well half the order arrived a day late, so I guess I ought to be please. Box haven’t a clue where the keyboard, mouse, SSD, monitor or headset are - which is slightly troubling - but I’m sure they’ll crack on and find it. 
 

Now to install a lot of stuff.

"No, the wife, it's not some fancy expensive machine - all computers look like this inside their cases. Your cheap NHS computer is almost identical."

 

I think she's fallen for it.

I mean to be fair, if Michael Gove would quit being a tight cvnt and sign off on me having a PC to those specs - I promise I'd be a lot more productive in my local authority role.

Warming her up for a sim racing rig now surely?

Dress it up to look like a Tory peer and he’ll spunk money at it faster than a Tory MP in a S&M prostitute’s boudoir.

Well there’s the Wattbike with Zwift on the iPad if she’s interested. Admittedly, the whole experience would be improved if there was an FPS or Paperboy mode.

Looks tidy af. What's under the hood? 

 

Wish my case looked as nice as that. The one pc specialists put their pre builds in is pretty meh.

I had the exact same problem when they dropped mine off. Got the tower and no monitor. Took days for them to deliver it. 

 

Nice build though, looks great.

Just ordered myself a new Corsair Liquid CPU Cooler

 

Never had to change a CPU cooler or anything before so should be fun...

Two days late, I got three separate parcels today from the one order.

 

The SSD was hand delivered. Then Parcelforce showed up with the headset. Meanwhile the first guy was driving three miles to the next village to leave my keyboard and mouse with a drop-off shop. Lord alone knows why he did that 

 

Then I got an email asking me to do a review asking me how I was finding my new monitor - "Not easily, so I'm enlisting the help of police detectives."

Took me a while and had to take the radiator back off the case at least twice but finally got my new CPU cooler installed 

 

From a crappy little standard Intel CPU cooler...

 

 

To a lovely Corsair Liquid CPU cooler!

Literally the biggest ballache of a task.  Nice upgrade though!

First time I had installed the radiatior/fans but I did it the wrong way around so had to take it out and re-do it

 

Then I had installed it and forgotten to put my RAM back in which the radiator/fans was blocking me from being able to do so I had to take it out again

 

Then I had installed it again but had forgotten to plug it back into the CPU fan on the board which was behind the radiator/fans so third time taking it off

 

4th time everything in correctly and now working like a dream!

Avoid hard tubed watercooled systems then.  I did the same and hadn't seated the RAM correctly, absolute pain.

Have you played any CoH3? I'm tempted as when I did play the original I was too young/thick to understand what I was doing but now I think I've got enough CRPGs and tactics games under my belt to have a vague idea. It seems to have done quite well critically and yet mixed Steam reviews with many concluding it's basically unfinished have given me pause.
