A district attorney in Rockwall County, Dallas, is under scrutiny from the FBI due to a PC he built as a backup server — using office money. Ray Sumrow claims he was using the system for business, but the “server” actually seems to be a tricked out gaming rig, featuring two hard drives, seven fans, high end graphics and sound cards, WiFi, and cables which “glow under ultraviolet light.” Rod Gregg, the FBI examiner on the case says, “I would not configure a backup computer in that way,” and added, “When I saw that, I did not think of anything related to a government agency.” Charges of forgery, theft, and records tampering have been made against Mr. Sumrow due to his use of the district attorney’s “fee fund,” which is meant to be used for office supplies or employee salaries. Testimony will take place through the week, and prosecutors expect to hear how it was imperative to Mr. Sumrow’s legal work that he, “Frag the crap out of dudes.”

Logitech has again achieved another milestone by redesigning their gaming keyboard and making it even better. This new, award-winning G15 gaming keyboard by Logitech is at the top of its class. It offers the hardcore gamers a level of in-game information that has never been seen before.

One of the best features that you will immediately notice with this keyboard is that it has an adjustable backlit LCD display that you can tilt forward or backward. This LCD display screen displays several information about you within a game.

If you’re in a shooter game such as Counterstrike or maybe Quake, having this keyboard displays the number of grenades that you have and even the number of bullets. The amount of information that you can customize this to display is staggering.

Aside from the crucial information that you get to see in this gaming keyboard, there is an option to set timers so that you will be able to keep track of game events. The level of programmability and control is simply astounding as you have 18 “G-Keys” which allow you to execute macros such as casting spells in games such as World of Warcraft with the press of a single button.

There’s also a feature in the keyboard that deliberately switches off the “Windows” key so if you accidentally hit it, it will not end your game. All in all, this is a good-looking keyboard with an even better-playing versatility.
