Personally, I like the look of it. It is the only thing that breaks up the boring-ness of my computer setup. Black and silver case, a black and silver keyboard (and yes having it light up is useful when my girlfriend is sleeping and I want to get some gaming in without having a light on and can't find insert or print screen) and a regular black LCD. I feel like the MX518 gives it some individuality, or makes it less boring. I also like the look of the G500 but I'm more worried about how it performs.

I don't think they look like bullet holes :(

Edit - screwed up links
The G500 is fantastic, I'm using one now. I got it a few months ago, after my MX518 that I had been using for 3 years started to poo poo itself.

As much as I dislike the pattern, it's a quality mouse and I'm happy with my purchase of it so far.

What's people's recommendation for USB based controllers for a solid D-Pad. I've got a 360 controller that I love using for any game that accepts it, but I'd rather play old emulated games for the SNES/NES as well as platformers with an actual D-Pad and not the control sticks on the pad as its D-Pad doesn't really cut it.

:haw:

A Wii Classic Controller is a good bet though, but you'll need a Wiimote and a bluetooth kajigger.

 ATI's drivers have significantly improved over the last couple of years. 5 years ago they used to be a loving mess, but they're fine now.

 I'm still using a 4870, and can run most stuff on high at an acceptable framerate at 1920x1080. I'll probably end up upgrading at some point next year, though I'm not sure if it'll be the whole system (currently have an Q9550 that still performs well) or just grab a new video card.
