Any other left handed players? I use my mouse in my left hand and am finding that I have reach issues with key binds as there are so many for weapons, steady of scope etc. I am getting a new mouse with more buttons and hope that helps a bit but I know I need a better key bind set up for my right hand. I try and use the arrow keys for movement but don't have enough keys within reach for other stuff. was thinking about using the number pad which will give me more keys within easy reach but would mean a learning curve all over again. So if anyone has any suggestions that would be great. Please no suggestions that would involved spending money, I have looked for gaming hardware and for left handed people its very rare and most time not worth it. over the this coming weekend when I get my mouse I will be on our server testing out setups so if you see me in there and want to help out as a moving target that would be cool. I feel like a noob gamer having to figure this stuff out all over again.

intresting to hear about razer, I have used logitech mice for years really don't like anything else you can get i na retail store. Just never used any of there gaming mice. Thought it would be in today but guess I have to wait another day to see if I can improve my gaming.

Anyone used or have one of these? getting one on the mail and was wondering what to expect from users. going to do a little google research and see what I can read but wanted trusted sources of info.

Have to ask size of drive and the price? I can always save my pennies LOL

yeah I was going to get one but I already have 95GB on my OS drive and that's programs only. and my storage drive is 141GB and that's nothing compared to the 2-3TB I had. I understand the speed thing I really do and I really want one in this system considering everything have done to it already but until the price of a large drive comes down to the $100-200 mark I just can't see having a mega fast drive but no room to do anything with it. 64GB SSD's are still $120+ and I can't see paying 2 dollars a gig to load a file 10 seconds faster. I bet when the price wars start up, which they will I will have one in this machine soon after. Now that this machine is where its at I can't afford to do any more upgrades. I have a powerful machine and I have to accept that there will be a few out there that are faster but I know that the metal plate under this one has my name on it LOL.

This is kinda interesting I have been running A09 since I got my machine back in late Dec. wonder why I have had it all this time and now they are releasing it to the public almost a month later.

I think I will see what I can come up with just for the pure fun factor, no clue how long it will take me since I never did this type of thing before but have used most of the software required to do this. Think it would be cool to design something like this. No clue how long this will take me as I'm on a trip right now. going to check our your links and see if I can do something like this. Could we find measurements online some place? well posting over my phone from my alien so will be home in a few and really see if I can do this, need something to do.

picture #7 looks like you cut off his head.

why would I have issues installing this driver? at some points the download wouldn't even contain a video driver just the CC. I finally settled on the 8.?? that came out in Nov. and they seem to work great for now. I ran Nvidia for years but didn't want optimus so went ATI this time around. Anyone have tips about installin ATI drivers?

well the first pic what you don't see is I have a camel back water pack on my back which I would bribe the mess hall staff to freeze over nite for me so I had a 2 liter ice block on my back most days. The other pic well thats not Iraq and the time of year wasn't bad at all to be in a guilly suite. The days I hated was support while sitting on a roof in 95+ degree heat or doing an ambush mission in the middle of no where and laying in dirt and sand for a day.

Thanks for you idea, its a .png file which has support with 1000s of apps I now know. I did find a site that has a list of apps that use it but after reading 4-5 pages of apps and checking a few dozen I gave up for now. I have some backup DVDs that I will have to seriously look though and see if I can find the app that way. wish I could remember more about it.

yeah no other info. was using it while dopped up from kidney surgery so really can't remember much about it expect some unfinished projects.

This Pic I am standing with my SOPMOD M4. I am the one of the left. Here I am dress for sniper duty. Can't say where or anything but these guys are the top snipers in the battalion. Faces are blocked out for the safety of the men who could still be in harms way. I did tours in Iraq and Afghanistan for the US Army Special Forces as a sniper and weapons specialist, I had field medic training and served from 2001-2004. HOOAH to all Military and Police forces around the world who have served in the war on terror. Thought I would share what I really did on the battlefield since I basically suck in the game.

when it comes to copyrights which is a 244 page law, for the most part for the first 50 years a work is automatically copyrighted by the creator without filing for it. If you so do decide to file it only adds another 20 years at which point it becomes public domain after that. ( I learned the hard way with a game I created many many years ago, I sold the rights and lost out of tons of $$$) has anyone heard of an app that creates space scapes? I had one about 1-2 years ago and I am pretty sure it was free, it did amazing thing and I want to find it again but can't remember who created it an all I can remember was it wasn't any large company might have been a single person type program. what follows is an example of a piece I started in the app. the planets were imported from bryce but otherwise all is what ever app this was.

I canceled my ram order, amazon won't have it in until Feb 14th so not worth the wait.

OK very rusty with all this hardware stuff, yes I got 8GB ram but its 2 4GB sticks, I am putting that in the underside slots as its easy to access compared to the under keyboard area. Now I thought each bank was a channel so that the 8GB I am installing would run dual channel in bank 1 and bank 2 which will still have the 2 2GB samsung would run as normal. OK I said that totally wrong. what I am trying to say is that out of the 4 slots avail each pair would run in dual channel or something like that. I really need to brush up on my hardware stuff, playing around with android all the stuff I went though not having a computer I have forgotten to much.

I have a small app that allows me to keep images from being downloaded after they are posted. these don't have it but if I post any of my sell-able works they will have that done. Only issue with that is screen shots can always be taken. I have thought about watermarks but find it distracts from the image to much and I just don't like it. If I post an image like here I don't mind others using it just don't like other claiming as their work. Had someone from Italy or some place like that copy about 30 of my images then go onto sell them as his own works. tried to sue him but it was to hard so I gave up. I think about 50 of my creations have never been seem by anyone but myself and maybe my wife. Now that I have this machine though I will start making posters and selling then at fairs or something to make a little money here and there to buy more apps or drawing tablet kinda stuff.

Lets see Poser, Photoshop, currently Bryce 7.1 I use this to create the planets I use in my of my pictures, Illustrator, had some awesome app that created space scapes but can't remember what it was called or who made it and really want it back plus it was free. I also use ACDSee to manage my images. I had about 30 filters for Photoshop to help create effects but lost all those too. There was a few more apps but I can't remember what they were right now. I know I will do a few hours of googling to find new apps to help create the images that come to me plus I have 3 tattoos people want me to design right now. I have also sold some of my works and plan to turn some of my images into prints for sale. working on making my scapes large enough to make large posters. I am also going to start making laptop skins and plan to create an alienware line with the hole for the head on the lid. This laptop will be the most powerful system I have owned but its the second machine I have had that can handle some of the renders I do without taking days. I had a planet render in Bryce that took 8.5 days, no fun not being able to use a system for a week. I hope with the higher end components and 8GB ram I shouldn't have that type of issue any more. When I get around to organizing my 1000+ image folder (came from an old back-up) I will post more images. I just have to be careful which ones I post in public as some are works people bought and they own the rights to them now even though I have the right to use them for my portfolio I don't have the right to display them in public. Its funny the only job I have had that didn't involve computers was the army. So look for more images in the near future.

that sounds really cool can't wait to see some of those

3 of those images have real outer space backgrounds. the first I tweaked the stars a little but the other two I left the backgrounds alone and just created the planets. getting better with the directional lighting which can be tricky taking an image from one app into another like I do all the time. I use anywhere from 2-5 apps to create a single image.

Granted some of the pictures you could see posted by me could and have been found on the net. I had a gallery web page up for many years and 80% of my images were stolen and claimed by other people. Anyone wanting to use images from me or other posters please ask for the use as some of these could have copyrights to them. If I personally post an image its free to use for personal use. I do spacescapes, tattoos, portraits and images that look hand drawn but are done with a mouse. Oh and most of my space images have backgrounds used from images taken by NASA telescopes and I got permission to use them in my art. Hope you enjoy.

The forms don't have the 2670QM CPU, I was going to add mine but its not there. So I will just say I ran it totally stock, only turned off a few services and got P13756 3DMarks. Then I installed the 8.93 drivers and got P14255 3DMarks again only turned off a few services. Not a big bench person but I thought I would share the numbers since I really didn't do much in the way of prep work to bench and still got what I think are good numbers.

Another strange thing to check considering its a new system but the fan/s. I just got my m17x r3 8 days ago and there was something like a 1cm by 3cm piece of paper in one of my fans. I wouldn't have noticed but I was checking out the insides and removed the fan and was looking at the cooling fins to see how easy it would be to clean the and little paper fell out and then the noise level dropped which I am glad I found it so soon. Another thing I used to check with desktops not really with laptops but if you do open it up check to make sure everything is seated right. my old HP laptop had a wireless ant. not clipped on all the way and it was months before I noticed it.

my BF3 game name is Imortal_One. I use it as it was my old name back from my tournament days.
