if cs, then mouse important la

dont even need to be few hundred.

my mouse went from mx700, mx500, razer viper, diamondback and now finally copperhead.
every single mouse got improvement from feel etc cos of different shape/weight, except for the viper

nah. if u aint play games much, of course a decent mouse would be enough. i personally feel the difference between my CH and creative 800 dpi mouse (RM60 <-- decent?).

my clicks are registered correctly, and my movements stop when i want it to stop. i only test the mouse with CSS. and my frags are better. maybe u could call it was an illusion, mentally...but if the result could lasts for more than 6 months, it became reality.

and sound card is also subjective. some people can just enjoy music with 2 speakers without bass. and i cant live without a sub woofer.  for me, without sound card, the sound feels like crap.

it is totally a different level of personal taste.
