    Charlie Clarke got a reaction from hansca in Zelotes Gaming Mouse Short Review - The $10 Mouse That Rocks!   
    I'm just going to get strait to the review 
     
    Quality and materials, this mouse feels decently constructed, the soft plastic feels nice under my hands. The buttons feel solid enough for a mouse this cheap and they all feel the same, something you don't usually get from cheap mice. The cable is braided and feels solid, maybe a bit flimsy at the connections but certainly better than a non braided cable. My one gripe with the quality of this mouse is the weight of it, it just feels a bit too light and cheap, some people like this, but I think it just makes it feel a bit flimsy when you pick it up, luckily it isn't noticeable when in use.
     

     
    Backlighting, the backlight on this mouse is quite vibrant, it doesn't make it feel tacky, which was one of my worries when ordering it. I do like the feature to turn it off completely if you want to. The only thing spoiling the backlight is the subtle blue highlights on the top of the mouse and the braided cable, which don't fit in with the backlight unless it is on blue, I would have liked to see these some other colour, like grey.
     
    Other stuff, the DPI switch works well, defiantly a lot of customisation, which helps when changing from games to desktop environments.
     
    Should you buy it? Certainly. It is only $10 and is much better than anything else I have tried in that price range.

    You would want a micro atx case, but I guess if you were willing to be really ghetto you could make it work in a mini itx case. If you wanted a good micro atx case that is compact, try the bitfenix prodigy/collosus/phenom M
     
    Edit - Also, folding does work well when it has a good cpu, unlike bitcoin etc, so you may be better off going with a core I5/I7 if you had the budget

    Hey guys, so a friend gave me an old pc with 1GB of ram and an amd  x 2 3800+
     
    I was wondering what to do with it, and I already have a much more powerful pc, so I have set it up running FAH for the LTT Team. All is good, just I am wondering what is a passkey? Why do I need one?
     
    I think FAH (or boinc etc) is really cool, even if you just run it at night time.

    I found this game on sale for only $2.50  http://store.steampowered.com/app/215510/and I found it quite fun for a simple game on my laptop. I don't really play AAA games. I was thinking people could share their favourite cheap, simple steam games. I found jazzpunk is on sale for $4
     
    EDIT - Keep it under $10

    It would be decent, but it's too bad that they only offer 700m-series graphics not 900m-series graphics. The iMac are great for video editing, though, you could build a basic X99 editing rig for about the same.

    You got some balls for asking that question here. In all seriousness, i would personally build a editing/gaming rig instead. If you really want the design and features of the imac, and are prepared to pay the extra premium, go ahead
