Green drives are mostly for storage. You should probably get something faster for your OS install.

I'll go buy one at the store when I receive the pc then, thanks for the input!

Comparing these 2 ATI's, can't tell if I should stick with the one I have: 5750
Or if I should get this one: 5770

Mine's already overclocked and looks like it has a better memory interface, but the other has higher clocks and it's stock. But yet my old one costs more? Is it because it's factory OC'd?
Also, would these be compatible with each other in crossfire-x?

[Shojin]

Yes you can crossfire them. 5770 is better than the 5750, but yes, it's more expensive because its factory overclocked. I'd personally recommend save up for at least a 5850 or go for the newer series like a 6850 or a 6870 if you want a bit more future proofing.

Logitech is offering Logitech G19 Gaming Keyboard (Dented Box) for $110 after applying coupon code logi_g19_5511. Shipping is free.

Dented Box items from Logitech are products whose outer box has been torn, scratched, dented, or has other markings on it. The product itself is guaranteed to be in brand new condition and fully warranted. Sales are limited to quantities on hand. Limit 1 per customer.

Site will show $199 prior to adding coupon and as of this moment the deal is still up, but I think these dented box deals usually dry up fast.

[Shojin]

I'd love a g19, but just can't bring myself to spend over a hundred fucking dollars on a keyboard.

[Caiyuo]

It says in pretty plain language under "features" that a G19 will suck your dick, man. I'm just sayin'.

[Kerberoz]

I wish they'd make a cheaper G19-based model without the LCD... shit's only useful if you're running single-monitor. Still a good deal if you were already in the market for a new keyboard.

[Boyiee]

I've recently left the Gseries keyboards to go to mechanical keyboards. I narrowed down my G key usage to just PTT in vent and a single macro in wow. Move the macro to my mouse and re-mapped my capslock key so it is now PTT and not capslock.

Couldn't be happier. Fuck the overpriced gseries.

[Caiyuo]

Have a particular mechanical you like? I saw a short discussion about them somewhere on the forum months ago
