OC3D Best of 2012 Awards
Mice

Mice
It's been a while since Razer really wowed us with a mouse, but the Taipan was stunning. An incredible sensor, comfortable and some excellent software. Only the 'green or green' colour choice counts against it and even that we can overlook when the rest of the package is so brilliant.
We couldn't separate the two flagship mice from two of the big three companies around. The Kone XTD is an evolution of a mouse we first looked at a couple of years ago, and thanks to some sensor surgery and a slight change in sizing the Kone XTD is still as good as it ever was. Something new next year please Roccat.

Good list, though it suprises me the CM Storm Stryker isn't on there
Nice! 
The Switch 810 does beat the Storm Stryker, out-of-the-box speaking ^^

Yeah the 810 is a better build and forget case, plus people would just comment that I only gave it the award because of Orca.
Side by side to just build a rig the 810 is better. I chose the Stryker for Orca because I could do more with it.

I was surprised... I didn't see the Corsair K60 TTL Edition in the keyboard section
ooh, nice one this is. "We know that not everyone has the cash to rush out that instant and buy a new piece of hardware..." You got that right .
Good List anyway, thanks!

I dont need to tell you how silly that is now do I. Just go careful with the constant negativity you post fella, its not needed.
I was just thinking the other day about you making this

All AMD/ATI cards in the graphics awards, not sure if im surprised or not 
microlab making the audio section makes me happy aswell, they're majorly underated.

Typo top of page 9 "2013 was the year of the mechanical keyboard. "
A review of reviews taking over 30 mins? Could only be a TTL video
Would say this is a good round up of the year and while surprised you put the switch 810 in over the storm stryker it is the better choice I believe.

Nice list of hardware. That HD7990 is something from another planet lool
What about top 2012 PSUs? I know the AXi series would win but it might be interesting to know... Thanks!
Very fair list indeed.
Yay for the 810. By far the best present to myself in a long while.

very nice summary of the year lol but i cant help but feel annoyed that i cant have them all lol keep it up tom
Enjoyed that video, some nice advice mixed up in with it all too - the fact that for more or less everyone, the choice of memory should be down to aesthetics and budget at any given speed as they are all virtually indistinguishable in operation would be the pick of the bunch for me.
I would take the Cosmos over the Switch I think for cases, although if price was a factor then I'd agree with your choices.
My only other change would be a 690 over the 7990 , purely because of availability, you can buy them most places, not so much the amd card.

Tom, how about the caselabs STH10? whats your opinion about that?
It's not in the list cause it belongs to another category?

...the Best of the Beast (PowerColor Devil13 HD7990)
surprised you went for the quickfire TK; a compact keyboard for the keyboard (actually no i'm not as you gave it a cracking review). I recently bought my first mechanical keyboard the Steelseries 6GV2 thanks primarily to your review and am very happy with it and can't believe how much nicer it is to use a mechanical.
Really enjoyed looking through all these anyway. Cracking work as always Tom

CORSAIR Dominator Platinum really deserve Gold Award for Memory.
When I thought on awarded memory I imagine Dominator Platinum, open Memory section and ...GOLD AWARD!
And H100i GOLD CPU Cooler Award. Agree 100%.
Caselabs Merlin SM8 deserve Case GOLD Award if you ask me.

#statingtheobvious
I definately agree with alot of products on this list. Thumbs up
If I could, I would change the Solo 7c's remote to something a little more sturdy, dratted thing never wants to work for me..
Does anyone know how dual H100i's would fare with a dual socket motherboard? Does corsairs software support two coolers in one PC?
I never heard about it being done, but you can try. Failing though is going to cost.
Heard it being done with H100's BTW

H100i is good kit but I didn't see reviews of other aio systems in your site or channel! How come?
