Looks like it will be a great rig.
Keep in mind that we only see failed units in our shops, but I wouldn't get the wireless mouse or the wireless speakers... They are only trouble, trouble, trouble...
Wired Logitech Mouse, and wired speakers of your choice.

oh well I already bought a logitech g7 mouse and a razer tarantula keyboard and i thought might as well get them no because I have a laptop and a screen and i could just hook it all up.. but for some reason I can't get either to work >.< does anyone know how to do this? and what do you mean when you say you only see failed units in our shops?

Are these two devices (Logitech A7 Mouse, and Razor Tarantula Keyboard both wireless?

What I meant was that we don't see good stuff in our tech shops. We usually see the equipment and devices that have failed... that need work... so if there are an awful lot of good ones, we wouldn't know about them....

We have been seeing a great deal of failed wireless mouse and keyboard devices that any other component in that past 18 months... After those, the optical DVD-RW and DVD+RW are the most common. And finally, the floppy drives made since 1999 when technology on cheap stuff took a nosedive. Next, we see components that are stuffed with dust and hair.

This is all apart from customer stoopidity, of course... and infestations which we put in an entirely different category.

The guideline is: When you discover something doesn't work, keep on doing it.

But the unusual side of the failed wireless mice and keyboards, is that they have traditionally been the most reliable parts of a computer... Until Dell started using the USB mouse.

the keyboard isn't but the mouse is wireless but that's just becuase i play a very fast paced fps and last time i used a wired mouse for it it was pretty annoying, and if there not able to work for my laptop ill just wait til i build the computer
