Random Thoughts - Part Deux [NO POLITICS]

Since we were talking about IKEA stuff earlier.. It got kinda dicey the last time I visited and bought items, but batting 1.00 so far in regards to items fitting in the car!

From my last visit. Very nice table so far! :

Because corsair didnt have a true, full dual, see through tempered glass case that was also pretty. I'm not particular to any brand btw, Corsair stuff just popped up at the right price during holiday season sales via PCPartPicker.

Paid way too much, but was intentional though. Could've gotten the same or more functional parts with a total at less than what I paid but... its so pretty! Case in point, the power supply. Could've bought a 750 watt, semi-modular PS bronze rated one for less than $80 but I went with one that was fully modular, gold rated for.. almost double that. It does run fully "silent" until it detects a 300w draw from the system though, thats when the fan starts to spin!

In total, it was around $1650 not including monitor. Bought it from a coworker for $500.

Next time you're looking to upgrade, you should let me know.

I LOVE Superbad. "They look like baby toes."

Given the same situation, that sounds just like something I would do. Otherwise, I'd never be able to get over it. It would bug me every time I looked at it.

Team PMW3366 checking in. If these stupid Omron switches break within a year like my old VX Revolutions then I'm done with Logitech for good.

Well the G900 is mechanical although it made absolutely no perceivable difference to me in quality or feel. I guess the durability thing is for you to check out
