I thought they would feck up the controls. Its hardly playable even with the xbx360 controller. They need to go back to the drawing board with the pitching & the fielding is almost just as bad. The...

What happened to the black. It took me forever to get my hands on a satin black shell. Red would just make me play it even less than I do now.

Holy $hit. A mATX with 2 PCI-e 16x slots is a paradox to say the least. It makes me want to stuff it in my TT lanbox. I can get an X2 in there with an inch to spare. That paired with an i7 & the...

My only beef is all the darn clicking it does when switching between 2D & 3D clocks. It was the same for the 3800s. I could even hear it over my TV & the tons of fans that's in my case.
