Yup, I played some as well last night, I think I'm around level 8 or 9. Best thing is the music and sounds. Always loved Diablo's audio.

My ID thing is Modulok#1823. Add me and let's play together.

Made it to Act II. Graphics are better than D2. There is also some game physics.

The server went down 3-4 times today. Looks like they are hot to get it back up, but there has been plenty of new release bugs.

Built to reign supreme as the new titan of optical sensor mice, the Savu comes loaded with the world�s fastest Pro Optic engine and introduces an awards and achievements system to the world of gaming peripherals.

Hamburg, 15 May 2012 � ROCCAT Studios today announces the release of the Savu � Mid-Size Hybrid Gaming Mouse � a competition device that �fusion welds� an ideal blend of performance and customizable features into a robust, perfectly-balanced, medium-size design.

The Savu offers a combination of unprecedented true 4000 DPI optical sensor horsepower, world famous Easy-Shift[+]� technology allowing for advanced button configuration, and a customizable lighting system delivering 16.8 million colors. What�s more, it�s the world�s first mouse to feature a stats and trophy system � called the ROCCAT Achievements Display, or R.A.D. � something previously known in similar form only in online gaming. Designed specifically for fans of mid-size gaming mice, the Savu also pampers the hands with an ergonomic right-hand thumb rest and soft-touch surface.

�The Savu is the planet�s premiere mid-size gaming mouse � period,� says Ren� Korte, ROCCAT Founder and CEO. �We packed it with not only world-beating speed and comfort, but with a slew of innovations designed to thrill. The Savu represents our continued dedication to giving gamers the exact gear to fit their every desire.�

With its advanced Pro Optic sensor, the Savu delivers true 400, 800, 1600 and 4000 DPI � placing it at the pinnacle of optical gaming mice. The latest R3 sensor also delivers lag-free gaming without any interpolation, and provides ultra-precise feedback during even the fastest movements � all so players can command with the utmost accuracy.

The Savu comes standard with exclusive Easy-Shift[+]� technology, which lets gamers set two functions for each mouse button and the scroll wheel, essentially transforming a seven-button mouse into a 12-button one without the clutter of unnecessary additional buttons. Easy-Shift[+]� also lets gamers take advantage of Easy-Aim, which automatically reduces DPI setting when in sniper mode � delivering pinpoint accuracy at the touch of a button. And thanks to advanced Omron switches, the Savu�s two main buttons feature the most consistent and precise pressure points � for ultra-accurate command capability � as well as the highest durability for the longest possible gaming life.

The Savu features a large, customizable rear light bar, which users can set in their choice of 16.8 million colors � to add to the atmosphere of gaming sessions. Players can also activate a color cycling feature, as well as a �breathing� function, which instructs the mouse to pulse in a choice of color.

The Savu also marks the debut of the ROCCAT� Achievements Display � or R.A.D. � a fun and useful application that tracks and rewards a wide range of gaming feats, such as mouse movement, button clicks, scroll steps, etc. The driver-based software compiles user data, provides a range of statistics for analysis, and hands out trophies when exceptional milestones have been reached. It�s an entertaining way for gamers to keep track of their mouse skills � and it even lets players share their accomplishments with others via social network sites, like Facebook.

Hamburg-based ROCCAT Studios says the Savu severely outperforms every gaming mouse in its class and is sure to set a new standard in the mid-size field. The Savu will be available around the globe for a MSRP of 59.99 Euros or 59.99 USD.

When you are building a home theater PC or small form factor PC it is really hard to find a CPU cooler that will not only fit, but provide adequate cooling as well. We know Noctua for making extremely large CPU coolers, some of the largest air coolers that we have seen actually. Today we are checking out one of their latest CPU coolers the NH-L12. What is interesting about it is that it is a low-profile cooler made for home theater PC�s and smaller systems. Will this cooler still provide the great cooling power we are used to seeing with Noctua CPU coolers? thinkcomputers.org

From start to finish the design of the Cooler Master HAF XM is top notch. There are no sharp edges, everything fits well together, nothing in it feel flimsy, and every detail that I could think of has been thought of in its design. If you're building a system with multiple video cards, hard drives, water cooling, and multiple optical drives, this case can handle it.

Topic Replies: 0

Taipei, Taiwan, May 14, 2012 - known globally for its extreme development in visual graphics technology , Leadtek Research Inc. unveiled today the new-generation WinFast� GTX 680 graphics card with a brand-new package. The WinFast� GTX 680 graphics card features NVIDIA�s� 28nm GPU design that offers the most immersive gaming and media experience to enthusiastic gamers.

The WinFast� GTX680 graphics board is a PCI Express 3.0 full-height form factor graphics add-in card based on the new GeForce� GTX680 (GK104), and is targeted as the ultimate graphics solution. The WinFast� GTX680 offers 2048MB (or 4096MB) GDDR5 memory in 256-bit configuration is clocked at 6008MHz and supports HDMI, DP, DVI-I and DVI-D. Its exclusive dual-slot fan sink conducts the heat of GPU for dramatic cool-down. The use of all solid aluminum capacitors also provides ultra-high durability and stability even during overclocking.
Like all NVIDIA� GeForce� GTX graphics products, the WinFast� GTX680 offers functions such as: Kepler GPU Architecture, NVIDIA GPU Boost, NVIDIA Adaptive Vertical Sync and NVIDIA Surround with up to four monitors, etc. NVIDIA's Kepler GPU architecture has been designed from the ground up not just for maximum performance in the latest DirectX 11 games, but also for optimal power performance per watt. The new SMX streaming multiprocessor is twice as efficient as the prior generation and the new geometry engine draws triangles twice as fast.

Up until now, GPUs have operated at a fixed clock speed when running on 3D games, even if they have the potential to run faster. NVIDIA� GPU Boost intelligently monitors graphics workload and increases the clock speed whenever possible. The result is that the GPU always performs at its peak, and you get the highest frame rate possible. In addition, NVIDIA� Adaptive Vertical Sync technology provides a smarter way to render frames, offering a smoother display by minimizing stuttering or reducing tearing in games.
Let�s not forget the new graphics card that provides the best 3D gaming and media experience on the PC. Gamers can experience the world-class performance and the highest image quality in this elegant and power efficient graphics card: WinFast GTX 680.

All of the ICE series chassis feature a 2.5mm aluminum construction and Cubitek says this makes them stronger than standard aluminum cases while maintaining a thin and light figure. At $360, the HPTX-ICE is among the priciest cases around, so we're expecting good things -- though the competition is certainly stiff. Lian Li's PC-V2120 is $350, and it left a strong impression when we reviewed in 2010. Let's move on and see what the HPTX-ICE is made of, literally and figuratively. techspot.com

Now Cooler Master is releasing the next evolution of this gaming mouse, the CM Storm Sentinel Advance II Laser Gaming Mouse SGM-6010-KLLW1. Sporting an Avago ADNS-9800 laser sensor, the Sentinel Advance II has the capability to scale up to 8200 DPI and all the way down to 200 DPI.

Gigabyte GTX670 OC Video Card Review The Gigabyte GV-N670OC-GD2 has many things going for it starting with the new GTX 670 GPU. This may be a cut down version of the GTX 680 but it has plenty of power for most games and some to spare in others. Most of that power comes from the impressive decent factory overclock which was due, in part, to the custom designed PCB and Windforce thermal solution. ninjalane.com

The SSDNow V+200 is an excellent choice for the cost-conscious business or home user looking to improve the performance of their existing desktop or notebook PC. Based on the same SandForce SF-2281 controller as Kingston's HyperX and KC100 SSDs, the V+200 is capable of some pretty impressive performance. In our sequential read and write tests, the drive was able to read at speeds as high as 585 MB/s and write at speeds in excess of 460 MB/s. These numbers dropped considerably when reading and writing incompressible data due in part to the V+200's asynchronous NAND. cdrlabs.com
