This is an eye-opener - I always just assumed that if you bought a case, you could obviously choose the PSU capacity, but if there were say, 8 drive bays, there'd be signal and power connections already in there for each bay. I must admit I never considered that they weren't loomed. Steermouse avoids this, while still allowing you to customise everything else as you want.Ĭlick to expand.Crikey - thanks for that. ![]() Most Windows mice appear to be constant in this respect, which is why a Mac user trying to use a Windows machine for the first time will invariably keep losing the pointer (and often, the plot). ![]() So if you move the mouse 1 inch slowly, the pointer will end up somewhere different to where it would have done if you'd made exactly the same movement, only much faster. 1984-ish) that varies the distance the pointer moves according to the speed of the mouse movement. The best thing about it is that it appears to hook into Apple's original 'accelerative gearing' behaviour (est.

Neither representative nor typical, of course, but it shows that it can be done when the manufacturer is proud of being a fanatic for detail. ![]() When testing it on a flat table, the fan exhaust blew over a full paper coffee cup carelessly left behind it, and the subsequent coffee-tsunami sprayed a wall. And it cost 25 thousand pounds, monitor, mouse and keyboard extra, and sounds like a 747 on takeoff. It has run faultlessly for over 3 years - runs XP, never powered down, gets rebooted every month, is still as quick as it was on day 1, and of course, has no 3rd party software installed at all that it didn't come with. To be fair, I have certainly encountered a PC which was built with Mac Pro-style thoroughness and thoughtfulness (even if with less refinement), and I was extremely impressed, not to say grateful, as I had to install it and it was very easy because the manufacturer had done a really great job (even if did take two of us over an hour to get it up four flights of stairs).
