it's more than likely sata... pretty much any modern mobo will work

Wait what? A HDD will work on any motherboard.

Oh that. Yes it's more than likely SATA, which will work on any motherboard today.

I've only seen IDE hard drives go up to 750GB. It's unlikely someone owns one anyways.
treynolds is better, but substitutes that cost less:
psu
ram

Here you go stocking. Clearly you don't need the HDD in there because you have one, so that's $250

My psu sounds like a hair dryer when i play games :'c

This H110 is absolutely insane when it comes to cooling power.

I plan on getting a fan controller because it keeps the fans at 100% 24/7, and swapping out the low RPM fans that came with it with some quiet fans.

Definitely worth the buy though, I much prefer this over the H100i

That Sparkle thing is out of stock.

that was quick

It might be available on other sites but I'm too lazy to look

[Nal]

any objections to these?

they are wireless

[Cut Glass]

they are wireless

Problem..?

[Treynolds416]

Problem..?

same reason why wired mice are better than their wireless counterparts

[Yenola³]

same reason why wired mice are better than their wireless counterparts

Wireless technology isn't the same as it was in 2007, it's come a long way, saying that one mouse over another identical wireless mouse just because it is wired is not correct, they both have the ability and technology to be the same when it comes to response times

[Mr.jacksaunt]

A wireless headset should be an excellent option if you have the money for it.
