(*) new internal keyboard: 150 Euro, doing the work myself of course.

Crap, that's like $211.15 for a damn keyboard...

Which is the reason why I prefer to frag an external $11.15 standard keyboard instead of some proprietary notebook internals.

Your notebook should be rather expensive if the keyboard costs 150 Euro and you replace it instead of buying new notebook.

[Mr. Bougo]

My replacement keyboard for my dell vostro was 70€

They can charge as much as they want, noone wants a broken keyboard and they are the only one to provide replacements...

I chose to do the replacement myself too, they just sent me the parts.

That's why I didn't replace it, but sold the laptop.

I laptop cost USD975, or 1373.1€.

It's expensive because it was an awesome system, but now it's middle of the road. Not obsolete just yet. 2.7GiB RAM, and dual core 1.9 GHz AMD64 prosesser could be cheaper. Video hardware is NOT apt for high quality gaming, and nobody told me how replace it yet.

I had to copy and paste the Euro sign, my keyboard lacks one.

Uuh, you're sure you converted in the right direction? $975.00 is 692.03€

*gasp* Oops, thanks Mr. Bougo.

A decent mouse doesn't have to be expensive. The A4Tech X7 ones are popular in this category. It's also not like the non-budget gaming mice can't suck: people have very different experiences with them. For instance, I can't use my G9 with anything close the full specs, because I get considerable negative acceleration then. It depends on things like mousepads etc. Just don't play with a touchpad or a crappy old mouse. Also, remember to disable the mouse acceleration, because it's not suitable for gaming. Overclocking the USB or PS/2 port is a good idea too, as it reduces the latency.

if you can afford gaming mice, get a razer one, they are extremely accurate.

There are different Razer mice, and not all of them are equally good. The only consistent feature is that they're fugly.
