i bought a chinese make mini cordless mouse from ebay. The mouse works fine from the desk but the moment I move it away slightly, it will stop working. The reason I bought it was to watch T.V. shows and changing links whilst in bed but now I cant do that. Is this normal or is it cause I bought a GBP 3.49 mouse?

Just wanted to know who you would blame in this situation. You work on computers, buy about 10-12 Pioneer DVD burners from a place called 'TigerD' and all of them have been working fine with no problems. You discover the same drives at 'OldEgg' website for $12 less, need to order some for an upgrade plus a custom build, so you get two of them... and BOTH are bad drives! Would you be ticked off at Pioneer or the OldEgg site?

One of the FIRST ones I bought has probably burned no less that 600 to 1000 CDs/DVDs/DL-DVDs and still works perfect - one of the "2" I bought elsewhere only burned a couple before making coasters then nothing at all.

[Friend said they wouldn't buy that brand again but I was thinking.. if you get a BUNCH at one place and all are good.. then buy just 2 at another place and they are bad.. I find it a little too coincidental.. like maybe the products are slammed around a little too much in the warehouse or something... possibly just a bad batch]

I can hardly play current games with my geforce 6800xt. what gpu should i get that doesn't go into the price range of a game console, otherwise i'll just get a xbox or ps3. I would like to play games like rainbow six, gears of war, unreal tournament III, starcraft II, and call of duty. Medium settings-high should be ok. I have 22" LCD monitor at 1680x1050 so higher details are tough to come by. Here are my specs:

nforce 4 Intel edition MOBO
Pentium D 2.8ghz
Windows XP (will be vista ultimate soon)
1GB ddr2 667 pc5300 (plan to get 2 gb dual channel ram added to this don't know if it'll help)
Nvidia geforce 6800xt

We are about buy a couple of new computers for our office. We traditionally have bought off-brand computers from our computer guy. I assume he makes a few bucks on the sale which is fine. However, are the name brand (Dell, etc...) better than the off brand computers? I want something that will last 5+ years without major problems. What would you buy and why?

Would his Mac mini run OS X Leopard okay I'm guessing it would but would like other opinions
