Is that one of those customizable gaming mice or something? It almost looks like it took a few falls or something and started to fall apart, tho iirc some are supposed to look like that Whole setup looks spiffy anyways.

Quad core 3.5GHz i7
Stock cooler? Why?
Hmm, the only i7's I have seen have been 6 core , coincidence maybe?
No it doesn't, i7 Extreme's (often grouped with i7) have 6 cores. Regular i7's are quad cores.At least, that has been the pattern so far.Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haswell_%28microarchitecture%29http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivy_Bridge_%28microarchitecture%29http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandy_Bridge_%28microarchitecture%29

Yep, and for me that is a good thing. It's not quite as good for gaming (Most games run on ~2 threads). Luckily I can just disable hyperthreading if I notice too much of an issue. Even so 3.5GHz (That can go up to 3.9GHz) is more then enough to run all games at their max settings.I've got to say its been awesome to be able to crank the graphics before I actually start the game. It's quite the liberating feeling.
You might be able to get more. My i5 (3570K) goes up to like 4.2Ghz or something.

That's why they started adding cores instead of increasing clock speed, just because they couldn't.Also, there's dual core i7 too, it's not only quad and hexas (or even octa)cores.
=0 do want.* shmibs still doesn't even have a desktop saving money is difficult
