Im curious how much the weighted cube actually weighs. its not small.. and plywood and such isnt light either.

For controlling the computer I use an old Logitech MX700 keyboard+mouse. When I switched to my wodden case from a Lian li aluminum case the range of the cordl...

I'm considering upgrading my system around christmas time, when the christmas bonus arrives and the dx11 cards will have arrived and hopefully dropped a bit in price. Currently I have a watercooled rig with a 3x120mm radiator. I'm loosely considering getting a second 3x120mm radiator and get one big...
