Been a long time..

I am back! finally, some free time to update this damm site of mine... Anyways, been busy shopping during the month and i got myself these goodies!!


I have been using an Audigy2 value for almost a year now, its a good card, EAX and CMSS and everything, its been good so far.
But lets face it, its abit old already... so say hello to my spanking new X-Fi Elite Pro! as you can see, it has more err components on it compared to the older Audigy2. And it has a heatsink on it!!!! love!!! although it does not produce enough heat to warrant it, but I digress anyways,

Its gold plated at the back!!! other that improving connection between the jack and plugs, it is also to show the lesser people/souncards to get the hell away :D. Oh and the big D-sub connector is for the console, which i don't have :(
The cirrus logic chips on the card.
4 of them on the Elite Pro.
And for people to show off when...
... its alive!!! Bragging rights +10
Seriously, when you use the X-Fi, you will never want to go back to anything else. 24-bit crystallizer works wonders, when its between minimum and the halfway setting, anything above will make anything sound dodgy. CMSS-3d in short works, but make your songs sound bad most of the time. In movies its not so bad though.

Other than the sound card, i also bought mouse skates as i was using my MX518 on the table, bad move, those super slick teflon skates were not so slick after heavy usage, so i needed replacements
They are very easy to replace and it returns your mouse to super slick status again.

And because i need a mousepad, and i was partly suckered by the adverts...
Yes i actually bought a Razer Destructor.
Shes mine and you guys/gals can't have it. :)
Mandatory shot of the pakaging. I think like 10% of the price went to the packaging...
The back, where the pro gamers bla bla bla over the mousepad, on how it improves performance and stuff.
37% better tracking for laser mice, optical uses have to settle for 25.
And the Über sexy casing to contain the mousepad. most prolly 50% of the price is for this gorgeous casing, that you rarely gonna use...

Oh, and MacBook Air's only need apply if anybody wanted to fit a laptop in.

My mouse sitting on it.Another shot of it sitting on it. And no more acid green brand on the mousepad, less annoying.
now if only money grows on trees...
