    Does DMC4 accept the XBox 360 controller for PC? I played it on XBox 360 before it RROD'd, but the graphics were pretty dumbed-down. I wouldn't mind playing through it again.

    Yes as long as you have the wired version of the xbox 360 or the special adapter for the wireless version

    Don't keep cross posting. The mods will get angry.

    Isn't the wireless version w/adapter required? I may be wrong but I think the wired versions only charges and doesn't control anything. Well I don't think I'm wrong because I have both.

    The wired version will work as long as it is made to be used with a pc\360, the packaging will say if it does. Which most of the newer ones will.

    So it's just a different version of the "wire".

    The wired version of the 360 controller was a regular USB, for folks who couldn't/didn't want to afford the wireless version. And I don't think there's a difference between the wired version of the controller and the one you can use for PC. It's a good controller.

    I'm trying to run the Crysis benchmark for you but whenever I start up the benchmark, it just loads the first level...Presumably it's not meant to do that? How do I get it to work properly?

    Yeah. The bench tool is very useful. The one I've got doesn't offer 1920x1200 res though, so I've got to enter custom cvars in the little box.

    I love my m17 but I can see the reason for the m17x existing first off you have the custom lighting and the other features with graphics and hard drives mentioned it can be a worthy machine if you want the latest features and have the cash. I don't so I'll be keeping my m17 awhile longer
