Chris Hunter reviews a high-end mouse pad from XtracPads. The Fat Mat model is "Designed for Professional Gamers" and utilizes a patented Nanofiber technology.

One area where BHFO deviates from our "maximum settings available" benchmarking standard is with Crysis under DX9.

This is the testing methodology implemented for video card
reviews. BHFO relies heavily on real-world testing, synthetic benchmarking,
thermal tests, and desktop performance to paint an in-depth look at what market
a particular video card would benefit the most.
This is our first review for BHFO and initiates our transistion towards more review content. Here is the Leadtek WinFast PX8800GT 512MB pitted against modern gaming and synthetic benchmarking.
**Update**: Leadtek has lowered the price of the card from 229-194USD, which changes our analysis. We have also fixed compatibility issues with Internet Explorer browsers.
