My MS X8 was one of the best, most comfy mice I have ever used.... I might even like it more than my Razer Naga

Got one sitting in a box here, too big for my hand. The cheap CM Storm Spawn fits my hand perfectly.

lol .. I'm quite a large dude ... 6'5", so never had that issue! I really like the positioning of the two thumb buttons plus the left & right click the scroll wheel has... (scroll wheel can basically have 5 functions, (1)scroll up, (2)down, (3)down click, (4)left click & (5)right click) now that is handy in game....

Last time I looked at total cost it was at around about 11k excluding keyboard,mouse,lcd I spended on it. But it gets higher and higher as I buy stuff for my pc on a monthly bases about.Next month when I get the ssd and 2tb hdd it will probably have kicked up to around 14k.
 
I have watched my wife play (lots - shes on MW3 at the moment till BO2) and her rig is just as smooth in game as my rig. I wonder when there is going to be another game that punishes a PC as much as Crysis did for its time?

Try run the witcher 2... that game chows PC's. Crysis 2 with high res texture pack and DX11 is also pretty power hungry.
