I haven't used that specific model, but my friend is big up on overpriced steel series shit for WoW and I used the Shift: Cataclysm that he has. It was nothing special. However, that model does not have the mechanical switches. I don't think Bod will care about that, though.

If you're into keyboards that are more about lighting and fancy shit, yes this keyboard is not for you. It is however a great cheap mechanical keyboard and it is also quite strong. Great to type on, very strange at first but well worth switching over.

Keyword: mechanical. Heh, so you were right. A cheap mechanical one it is. I have no doubt it'll do a great job of retaining its quality. Still, the rubber used on regular keyboards do a good enough job. No need to needlessly spend that much on such a basic keyboard when I cheaper one can do the same job. Well, if Bod wants his keyboard to last 5+ years, I guess it's the logical option. I couldn't imagine not replacing one every five years.

With Halo perhaps, but yesterday I took a look and saw I was using about 11GB.

When I am going to do Genome calculations, I will take 1TB RAM into consideration :P

I've never cared about the aesthetics of a computer case. Never saw the point. It's a box that holds my computer parts, for fuck's sake.

EDIT: Maybe I should rephrase that, though. I care about the aesthetics insofar as I actively avoid flashy cases, and choose relatively boring-looking cases. "I'm a huge fucking nerd" is a message I would rather not be sending with my computer case.

I use a dell standard 101 key keyboard I got so many years ago. No problems here.

Yeah, most keyboards will work no problem for 6 years+. He's sort of right, though. I didn't realize what he was talking about until I read it was mechanical based.

I always spill stuff over my keyboard...so I wanted to buy a machine-washable one...but they are expensive :S
