This month I've been testing: Ultra-high polling rate gaming mice, to see what all the fuss is about; and trying to figure out what makes the best PC fan.
This month I have been playing: a bit of Baldur's Gate 3, but mostly I've been caught up in Helldivers 2 and Content Warning.

Cable management is not my forte, but when I'm close to completing a gaming PC build there's nothing that bugs me more than a stray cable that I have to find some way to hide, be that around my liquid cooler, running across the VRM or looped under the motherboard 24-pin. I simply don't bother for my test bench—I stare at a mess of cables erupting from it for the better part of every work day.
