What happened to the Saitek keyboard?

Cut it out to accomodate the retail GPU and 19".

Also, I'll be going with the TruePower 2.0 550W for my PSU, decided not to get the NeoHE.

Is a Logitech G15 beter then a Saitek?...they both seem good..

i like my saitek alot, i dont see a need for the g15. now if i could get my f'ing computer to boot id be enjoying it with battlefield 2, while i am supposed to be doing homework

I love my mom!

Due to the fact this is a "family" computer, I had to run over my part decisions with her (not like she understands any of it) but she said that I could spend a bit extra on the monitor for a Dell 2005FPW because she uses them at work and loves them. I've already bought one of those, about the buy the rig.

hope it works out great. Good luck with the build. That ati will fly for sure but im still waiting for the G80s. so are you OCn the opty?

 

[Istasi]

I may in the future, but not right away. I mainly got it because it was cheaper and has the larger L2 cache.

That looks like its gonna be a beast, and for a while too. Let us know how things turn out!
