Allen SimHQ Member Registered: 10/13/99 Posts: 3152 Loc: Ohio USA	See my signature -- Cougar+force mod. Prepare to spend "too much" -- as one nearly always does when one buys the best regardless of price. Still cheap compared to the highest end Intel quad and will last a decade longer As for the best performance/price deal, also see my signature -- Saitek. _________________________ ATI HD4870 512MB, ATI650 HD Tuner, Phenom II 940 @3.35GHz, 4x2GB OCZ PC8500, ASUS M3A78-T, WDigital + 4x Seagate 7200.xx = 3TB+, Plextor DVD, PCP&C S75CF 750W, Enermax Full-Twr, 2xSony CRT (24" 16:10 + 21" 4:3), 5.1 Spkr, AT ATH-AD700 Phones, Cougar+FSSB, Saitek X52 Pro, Windows 7 HP 64b, Windows 7 RC 64b, Vista HP 64b

peppergomez SimHQ Lifer Registered: 05/21/02 Posts: 10176	yeah, if you feel like sacrificing blood, sweat, tears, and time, then cougar is great...me, i got tired to tweaking/repairing/troubleshooting it and just wanted to fly, hence my switch to CH. _________________________ SeagateBarracuda320GB 7200 SATA LIANLI PC-7B plus II MidTower EVGA GeForce8800GTX 768MB GameXStream 700W PSU Intel Core2Duo E6600Conroe 2.4GHz CORSAIR 2GB DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 WDRaptor 150GB 10,000 RPM SoundBlasterX-Fi EVGAnforce SLI 680imobo winxp sp2

NoUseForAName SimHQ Member Registered: 11/02/04 Posts: 3439 Loc: Colorado	reliability and ruggedness - CH all the way feel and looks - Cougar, Saitek I'm a CH man mainly because my HOTAS takes a beating; but I never have to worry about them breaking. I've used the same CH HOTAS going on 8 years and never have had something break/malfunction _________________________ Standard Films: Black Winter MoBo: ASUS Commando PSU: OCZ GamerXtreme 700w CPU: Intel C2D E6400 2.13GHz OC'd ->3.2GHz RAM: 3GB Kingston HyperX DDR2 low-latency PC8500 GPU: BFG GTX260 core 216 Extreme OC edition Display: LG Flatron 19" @ 1280x1024 OS: Win7 32bit RC 7100; WinXP 32bit w/SP3 Audio: On-board AC'97 w/ Sony 5.1 surround
