Trust me, I haven't seen a G15 in action, but the G7 mouse is definitely worth it. It's super-lightweight, has weights you can add to it to make it fit you perfectly, it's got 2000dpi resolution, and it even has sensitivity settings on the mouse! This is ridiculously handy when playing FPS. You set the lowest setting on the mouse to where you regularly play at, then you know how it gets really slow if you jump in a tank and try to turn the turret or go prone to snipe? Well just whip the sensitivity up to max! I dunno, I played with it some and loved it.

The G15 keyboard I expect will be equally awesome as it's in the same line of products. Andy_J on #tcpa has one of them and he says it pwns all. It even has an LCD that you can see your game stats on. But yeah, if I don't have enough money for G15, I think I'll go down to G11 which is almost the same but minus the LCD.

EDIT: sweet, I was looking it up, apparently the LCD is fully programmable too and comes with C and Python devkits! =D

Also... the newegg prices on those are about $15 less than the regular store prices and what's on the logitech online store.

Got me thinking...since so many people can build their own computers for less $$$ and more customization, has anybody done it with a laptop? ::

That's true. It's more expensive now.

And just get a personalized laptop, I think.

Well... according to most people's needs, a preconfigured system is actually cheaper. If you are a gamer, then you can save money IF you buy online. Otherwise, it is still expensive.

Companies such as Dell, HP, Gateway, etc. compete for the market so much that prices have dropped to insanely low points. If you want to buy a OK or decent computer, buy from a manufacturer. If you want to buy a specialized computer, buy online IF you can find good deals and no shipping .

Like I said, you're looking for very specific components and you are buying online...

Hmm... that's strange because I went to Frys and choose some components and found out that an HP with almost identical components was cheaper by a significant amount.

Really? O_O I'd like to see that On the fry's website, I couldn't find anything the same as what I have, but I found 2 that are *kinda* close.

http://shop1.outpost.com/product/5200527?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG  is another, it has a better graphics card, so at least it has a reason to cost more. Monitor is not included in this one's price either and the m&k included are cheaper too. I actually kind of like this one though. It doesn't seem overpriced. It still costs more than it would to buy the parts separately, but nothing ridiculous like $1000 like the Dell and Alienware ones. I can see this one being worth the extra $$$ to have it put together for you. Still, since I actually do know how to put computers together (not like it's hard lol) I see no reason why I should pay the extra money to have it done for me, and I still hold to my decision that it's better to build it yourself.
