I got the Quad core Q6700, a Asus Striker motherboard, 2 8800 GTX's in SLI, Corsair Dominator RAM and my case is a Thermaltake Armour LCS with the watercooling built in.

Nice article, I mainly agree with the choices, I've been very impressed with the Q6600 and the Nvidia 8800.

The question is, it is worth upgrading from a Copperhead to a DeathAdder?

It's not like we have much of a choice on the sound cards department. On the same note, I have never owned a dedicated sound card :)

 I'm considering upgrading my copperhead to a DeathAdder or try to get the limited edition Boomslang or the lachesis. They are all amazing mice. 

 not actaully true, there are actually like 20 different brands.

True, but with creative you know it's going to be sound blaster compatible ;)

Yeah, i got the creative sound blaster fatal1ty series...

I use a logitech G9 mouse with a G15 keyboard... i've always wanted to try a copperhead, are they good?

heh, e2160 cpu overclocked to 3ghz, Logitech G5 mouse, generic Dell keyboard (PS/2, o_0), logitech X530 speakers, cheap $30 Creative sound card, 7800gt, and a gigabyte p35 board.

That case is pretty sweet in the original post. Pretty sweet looking mouse too, I like my G5, but it's scroll wheel pisses the crap out of me when I want to use it in games like Counter-Strike to switch my weapons or just to middle click in every day use.
