1. updated Grand Theft Auto 4 - December 23, 2009 at 1:20 pm

agreed: "No aircraft other than a few helicopters which handle terribly and are nigh-impossible to aim their gatling guns. Rockstar could take a serious lesson from Pandemic (developers of Mercenaries). THAT game has heavenly chopper controls... (just for comparison)."

2. updated Mozilla Firefox - December 23, 2009 at 1:16 pm

tapped as "love it"

"I believe the G15 is a "flagship" keyboard for Logitech as opposed to a "flagshit" ;) -- see description, 2nd line from top."

new pro/con: Only 200mm fan LED can be turned off, the 5 120mm fans can not have the LED light turned off.
new pro/con: Adjustable settings for fans
new pro/con: Dust covers would be much more useful if there was a "toolless" removal method. As it is you have to take the side panels off, remove screws from all HD cages, slide the cages out and remove the dust screens.
agreed: "bigger hsf's might have an issue if side 120mm fan is used (my Coolmaster V8 "JUST" fits, see photo in gallery)"
agreed: ""headphone" and "microphone" are not labeled on front i/o panel, the 900 is, so why isnt its bigger brother the 1200?"
agreed: "water cooling ready"
agreed: "easy to access front I/O"
agreed: "dust covers for all intake fans"
agreed: "harddrive cages make it easy to remove harddrives"
agreed: "5 120mm fans + 1 200mm fan come stock, with 'brace' for inner fan and side fan"
agreed: "Lots of room"

"Hey man, sorry about the submission mistake, could have sworn all I saw was the Series 1. Anyway I updated the pros and cons. Also I would delete the black only con altogether as mine is silver. I actually have never used it unplugged and did not even realize there was a battery feature which I plan on checking tonight but according to the bose.ca website there is: http://www.bose.ca/controller?url=/shop_online/sounddock_systems/sounddock_portable/index.jsp So I added that to the small size portability comment. By the way you get a chance to check out any of those beers yet? If you have trouble finding the Unibroue beers email: consumer.relations@sleeman.ca and they can give you a list of all the beer stores stocking the unibroue 6 packs in Ontario. Take care man!"
