Jacob's CTF Server

I recently just got a new gaming laptop for Christmas and i've been wanting one for about 3 years. I finally got the " Alienware M18x Gaming Laptop". It was custom made for me so it took about couple of weeks/months. It cost about $2,000.I also ordered some of Razors headset and mouse. The Headset I bought was about $200 and the mouse was about $80. I'll post some pics of my laptop and the razor stuff later.

-CPU: Nvidia GTX 660
-GPU: Intel® Core™ i7-4900MQ processor (8MB Cache, up to 4.0GHz w/ Intel® Turbo Boost)
-OS: Windows® 7 Home Premium 64-bit
-RAM: 16GB
-HDD: 750GB
-MOUSE: Razor Taipan
-{Touchpad Backlit button image sensor trackpad with all-points addressable}
-KEYB: 4-Zone, multi-colour RGB keyboard with AlienFX lighting controls and numeric keypad
9 user-programmable keys providing up to 19 distinct functions per application/game
-Headset: Razor Tiamat 7.1
-Windows 7 Pro. [FTW]

Holy fuck that CPU. Also, I heard Tiamat wasn't that good, I'd like to hear your opinion on it, since you're a first hand user.

Yes the Tiamat was a disaster it wasn't that good at all. I hate it so much. The headset itself was really horrible. The hinges of the headphones looked so thin that it looked like they were going to break apart. I truly most hate the mic that comes with it. The mic quality is horrible and there's this buzzing noise from the unit that comes with the headsets (which you can adjust audio by yourself) they make this buzzing high pitch noise whenever you talk in the mic. These headsets really sound like crappy airline headphones. I've tried changing the audio quality buch of times and honestly it's most likely impossible to change it to make the headset/mic sound good.

These headphones are useless and worthless. All I could say right now that this headset fucking suck. I'm planning on sending them back to them and get my money back soon. All of razor's headset suck. I think I might be getting a different headset from a different company and I was thinking that I'm going to get "Astro A40 gaming headset". I heard that thing is a beast.

If I were you, I'd try to return it if you haven't already, but you shouldn't go for the Astros. I like it but I feel like if the Siberia v2s are a better with price and quality. So either:

Siberia v2 or Siberia Elites depending on how much you want to spend.

I absolutely love using this keyboard. The Leopold FC700.

If you get your hands on one, you'll now what I mean.

While on the subject of headsets; the "Logitech G35 7.1 Headset" is a great headset for those who don't want to pay more than 100 bucks. It also has a really clear and static-noise free mic. Oh, and it also has 3 programmable G-keys so you can easily start/paus and change music in Spotify, WMP etc. without having to tab . Definitely the best headset I've bought in 2013.

Specs:
-GPU: Nvidia GTX 660 ti Zotac Edition.
-CPU: Quadcore i5 3470 @ 3.4Ghz (UC)
-PSU: 750W Coolermaster, Modular
-HDD: 500GB
-RAM: 4GB DDR3
-MoBo: ASRock H61M-DGS mATX
-Mouse: Fujitsu M480 Black (Desktop)
-Keyboard: Fujitsu KB400
-OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
-Headset: Logitech G35 7.1

Very similar build to mine, question though: Why did you pick the ti Zotac Edition? I haven't heard of it yet, as far as I know there was only a ti and maybe a ti overclocked. And how expensive was it?

1 year old and still going strong. Only thing I hate is the monitor resolution, and hopefully that CPU temp reading is wrong.

Keyboard - Razer Blackwidow Ultimate
Mouse - Razer Deathadder

Pretty much the only reason why I choose that one was because it was the only one from the 660 ti series on the market unless I wanted to cash out more money and buy it from Germany. As far as I am concerned, there is nothing extra special about the Zotac Edition than any other 660 ti, just that Zotac probably named it like that to make it sound more luxuriously. At the time I bought it, it was up for around 1900 SEK, which is the equivalent to 300 bucks (roughly). A quite decent price considering the quality and framerate you can get in newer games.

I guess $300 USD is pretty ok. As far as I know the 660 ti series are only a 20% whole upgrade so I was wondering if you were getting your money's worth with the Zotac edition.
