Computer
CPU: Intel E4300 @ 2.8 GHz
Graphics Card: Radeon 1650XT
Monitor: Samsung 931BF 2ms - I picked this monitor because I wanted to get use to TFT, due to many competitions using TFT now days.

Peripherals
Mouse: I use the MX518, I've tried every mouse out there and I can't get the same control with any other mouse. I don't use skates right now but I always use it if I've had the mouse for a while.
Mousemat: I like to use the Steelpad 5L, I liked it from the start and haven't felt the need to switch!
Headset: Sennheiser PC350 - I think they have great sound quality.
Keyboard: Steelkeys 6G, because of the nice and smooth keys!

Windows settings
Windows sensitivity: Mid
Enhanced pointer? No
Mouse hertz: default, 125 Hz

Counter-Strike: Source Settings:

Hertz: 75
Launch options: -console -noforcemaccel -noforcemparms -dxlevel 90 -w 800 -h 600 -freq 75
Sensitivity: 2.0, I find it easy to know how long I have to drag the mouse if I know that one is 180 degrees.
Graphic Settings: Low on most except shadow detail.
Resolution: 800x600, it helps with the fps.
