Long Range Wireless Mouse: RF or Infra Red?

RF is the way to go. Check out the Intel Wireless series. You can get a pretty good deal on them if you shop around. The only problem is that the mouse drains batteries pretty quickly. DaveK

hello kind sirs.....could ya check these components

Looks pretty good. The only thing I might suggest would be to get a cheaper network card. The 3coms are nice, but to be honest, a Linksys or a Netgear card will work just as well for less than half the price of the 3Com. DaveK

ATA 100 appearing as ATA 33

Make sure that you have controller setting set up correctly in the BIOS. Check to see if it says UDMA-5 or "auto". DaveK

I need help selecting a new case

Hmm...they all look pretty expensive there at that web site. If you want a cheap and sturdy case, check out the Enlight 7237 at newegg. I believe it should only come to $55 or so after shipping, and should be substantially lighter than your full tower. DaveK

Games appear "dark" on GeForce DDR

Sounds like your overlay Gamma or brightness is set too low. That would explain why normal desktop, programs, etc. look okay. Check some of the control panels, etc. to find the overlay settings. Is it dark on other things that use overlay like DVD, Media files, etc.? DaveK

Rant: Does NewEgg Ship the Wrong Item Often?

Wow...free CPU upgrade...pretty nice. I've ordered quite a bit of merchandise from newegg, and never once got the wrong part. Maybe I'm lucky (or unlucky :)) DaveK

Networking Question

Yup..."2 end stations --> hub --> switch port" will work just fine. Remember though, that you will not be able to use Full Duplex because of this hub. Also, the 2 end stations will have to share the 100Mb connection. DaveK
