After a few weeks of using my new system with CS5 and a wireless mouse I am happy to report that all is well. No cursor problems and no jitters. I really love CS5 but have to learn the differnces between it and CS3.

Everything is on order now and I’m just going with home premium. Well, I don’t have a keyboard for it yet maybe I’ll just steal the one I’m using now and buy another one for this computer. I also need a monitor yet and I think I’ll get the one at Sam’s Club, 37″ Samsung for $280.

That’s the one I had to uninstall, Intellipoint. Then all was well.

And thank you for your help, both you and Todd. I can order with confidence!

Forgot to add that I am using a wired mouse.

That’s good news. It sure seemed to be the wireless because when I uninstalled the mouse program the problem went away. I still am able to use a wireless keyboard without problems. The keyboard and mouse came packaged together (Microsoft 4000) but only the mouse gave me a problem. Some one on the forum had the same problem with the same solution.

I guess it depends on how you define ‘decent’. I saw a My Book 1TB USB3 at Sam’s Club just a few minutes ago for $108.83.
BTW, The memory you showed me, for $60 more I doubled my memory to 24GBs and I am just about to pull the trigger on the build. I can save a little more money if I go with Windows 7 Home Premium instead of Professional. Any advice on that?

[Todd Perchert] “Myself, I have a 300MB/s R/W RAID-0 internal for my project files, that I back up every evening. I also have an external RAID-5 16TB array that does about 700MB/s write and 600MB/s read – this is my media drive. Most of my media is used in other projects which is why I keep it separate from my projects. That’s on top of the OS drive and backup drive.”
My thought was to go with a 1TB system drive and two 1 or 1.5TB internal media drives with RAID 0 and I think that is what I will do for now. I can add an external RAID5 later if need be. After looking at the smaller case (922) I think it will work just fine. I do like the 942 better but I’m not really made out of money and I’ve been saving for a new system for quite some time and am getting impatient. I just thought of something. I need to check back on the 922 and see if it comes with as many fans as the 942. Thanks for your help.

I looked at the 570 and here again, I don’t know much about this stuff but I can’t see where a video card is better when it only has 128Mb of memory on it. The 580 had 1.5Gb of memory so at least to me it seems better but then the price is almost as much as the Quadro 4000 which only has 2Gb. It is confusing trying to compare them and then you say for video editing that the 570 is even better than the Quadro.
I think I can go with the 922 tower instead of the 942 but as for the 4G strips of memory I haven’t found any Corsair yet. I would like to order this thing today if possible. I’m getting anxious!

It seems like most posts that talk about towers and the longer type video cards say that heat and space or two big issues and recommend a large case. I also may install an extra burner or two in the future. As far as the gaming rig feel, I am a kid at heart and I actually like the looks of this one. I looked at quite a few that I did not like the looks of. The one I have now on the computer that I’m using I never did like the looks of it but it is functional for my current setup. I think overkill is better than not enough and me being not savy in the computer business means I have to listen to others who are and then finally make a decision. In other words, I am open to and apreciate your advice. Thank you.
