Things i would like :- )


Razer Hydra PC Gaming Motion Sensing Controllers

Razer Hydra PC Gaming Motion Sensing Controllers Including Portal 2
I love the portal games and this add's more levels  and a whole new game play mechanic not only that it would be a cool thing to try and develop applications for.
Price: £90
is it to much just to extend the game? Yes, yes it is, but none the less it's on the list.

A Gaming keyboard & Mouse CHECK

im not set on any keyboard in particular as they all seem to have mixed reviews and considering the cost i think my keyboard is fine for now however it would be nice to get a cherry mx blue keyboard...

im not set on any mouse in particular either mine serves me well enough though i do like the look of the razer Taipan with the extra buttons on the side i might be able to use them to use a knife and zoom the scope of weapons more easily although again it's rather expensive coming in at around £60
I got the Q Pad 80 and the cm storm recon :D


Corsair Neutron GTX 120GB

I have wanted an SSD for awhile now i original  intended to have  2 in raid 0 but due to the lack of trim support for raid arrays i feel a raid 0 wouldn't be worth the cost and the read and write speeds of this drive will still see a huge performance increase coming in a £100 this is a very reasonable purchase. (i also want a 3tb hdd but i didn't think that would be cool enough to make it on here again £100 for a WD green 3tb)

A new case!!!!

i currently have the Cooler Master Elite 335 which was intended as a tempory case here we are one and a half years later... and i still haven't replaced it, it looks similar to this except with only 1 side panel fan mount

I have now replaced this with a corsair c70! :D

Water cooling

This is something i am going have to think about... this is how i see it atm (pro/cons)

Closed loop water cooling (think corsair hydro series)

Pro's

  • cheaper
  • much safer
  • easily moves from system to system

con's

  • Only used for cpu cooling 
  • will eventually become unusable when a new socket type comes out
  • restrictive tubing
  • worse temp

Custom loop water cooling

Pro's
  • Can cool everything in your system if you want it to
  • better temps
  • can replace individual components such as CPU block instead of replacing the whole loop
  • it's possible to add multiple radiators
  • looks epic(MAJOR FACTOR :3)
Con's
  • leaks
  • more costly
  • wouldn't be able to shift it to a new case very easily
  • only works with reference design gfx card's for gpu cooling
  • Maintenance it's recommended to drain and refill every 6 months (would i be upgrading a components every six months anyway?)
  • upgrading requires more work
So yea that's what i think about it i would either be getting a H100i
Corsair,Hydro,H100i,Water-Cooling,CPU,Cooler,

or a custom loop not sure what i would use yet, probably a 5 and a 1/4 inch drive bay mounted pump/reservoir though such as the X2O 750 from xspc
118 300x272 X2O 750 Dual 5.25” Bay Reservoir Pump
probably have a dual radiator setup 1*280mm radiator 1*280mm radiator preferably both in a push pull config with some quiet fans ill also replace the acrillic in the side of the case so the awesomeness is actually visible :3

side note i would also like to water cool my graphics but this seems somewhat point less until i have a cross fire/ sli set up using reference cards i will be waiting a good while before replacing my card...

Games!

Lot's of games!!!
Skyrim (played it totaly legitimately... and want the updates and dlc's so yea that would be awesome)
Planetary annihilation LOOKS FREAKING EPIC nuff said.
Chivalry looks quite good
STEAM ON FREAKING UNBUNTU!
It's here now i just need to make the full move to unbuntu
arma 2 (my failing to realise that arma 2 free had been removed from steam has rendered me unable to play DayZ :-(  got it now :D

Laptops and tablets

I would like both a decent laptop and a tablet although i wish they would hurry up and standardize both laptop and tablet components so it's possible for me to build my own : / but i mainly want a tablet so i have a way of controlling everything from there (lights, tv, pc, ect, ect) and i would like a laptop for use at college.
