[H]ardNews 2nd Edition

HTD:

Happy Turkey Day to all you guys out there in the great US of A. For all you guys not in the US, well, Happy Thursday. Today we are supposed to remember what we are thankful for and if you don't mind, I will share a couple of mine with you.

I am thankful for my 9700 Pro mostly...and the kids...and the wife too I guess. Seriously, we here at the [H] wish you and your family the best for the holiday season. And remember, if you can't have the best for yourself or your family, you can always buy a Celeron.

MX700 Again:

While many MX700 owners may be filled with anticipation that Logitech has new Mouseware out today, here is what Schmoozer had to say about it.

Tried them and they didn’t fix the current gaming issues with the mouse…hopefully other people have better luck.

A fix that works for most that will get the wheel working in many games and smooth scrolling is further down the page....

Pretty Panel:

MonkeyReview, not to be confused with anything you might see in the zoo, has reviewed Vantec's new front panel unit.

It’s looks, versatility and easy installation make it a good choice for anyone looking for the features it offers. Regrettably the unit also has a few shortcomings...

Good Deal:

I know many of you are always looking for a good deal on a VidCard and QwertyJuan just passed along one. You can direct buy an ATI 64MB 8500LE for US$79.00 plus $15 shipping. Correct link to the ATi store is: https://apps.ati.com/naorder/store_prod.asp (will not work for some reason internal) Not a bad deal for a card from the manufacturer. For you guys that like to go into the store and get it yourself, we have been told that Best Buy will have a BFG Asylum GF4 Ti4200 128MB Video Card for $89.99 after $55 instant rebate and $55 mail in rebate on Black Sunday.

Both are sweet deals if you are looking for a card to fill in till DOOM]|[ actually shows on the shelves.
