You could use it as a weapon. I would like a mech keyboard, but I really like my X4 and don't have an immediate need to change

 

[Silent_Scone]

Even I'll admit that's silly money for a keyboard lol.

 

[Cookie]

Even the man with 3k worth of graphics cards thinks you're mental

You have 3 titans, I don't know where to begin

 

[Silent_Scone]

hey, 98% scaling on all 3. Rapido!


Although it goes something like

1 isn't enough, 2 is perfect, 3 because the chipset lets me. lol.

 

[Cliotoby]

Well its the height of the keys I don't like and its SO LOUD.

The Logitech is great, raided the cupboards at work and found two, so have one for backup. Keys are lovely to the touch. Literally the best keyboard I have ever used.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Well its the height of the keys I don't like and its SO LOUD.

Only if you type loudly. It has PROPER keys. You'd have to be born post 1999 to understand lol.

 

[Cliotoby]

I like being able to push the keys down with some force. r****d typist and all.....

Seriously though even after using it for a while its really loud.

Think Its because I came from THIS THING so im used to the low keys, so on the K70 I always seem to hit the wrong keys and stuff.

Im not talking old skool 1988 IBM keyboard loud but not far off.

 

[SharkyUK]

I had something delivered too.

:lolup: Nicely done.

 

[welshname]

Nice team Roccat mouse.

 

[Pistachio]

I've got a deathadder mouse - love it, and a roccat isku keyboard - it's good but the illuminated keys are hard to read unless you are right over the top of them. Macro keys are really useful though

 

[Silent_Scone]

:lolup: Nicely done.

lol cheers. In the new place I'm getting cold boot issues, even at stock! I think it's an issue with the outlet lol.

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

Looking forward to homeworking to re-build my PC.
Currently planned out to buy in a month or two peice by peice.

GTX 770 4GB x2
New Motherboard gigabyte GA-990fxa-UD3
Another 16GB RAM Corsair Vengance
and buy a HHD and an SSD for operating system and most played games


Anyone wanna put input on this? I will be running the same monitor as scone (sorry for copying but it looks stunning haha)

 

[Silent_Scone]

I'm not using that monitor at the moment, it's all connected up to my 40" Sammy TV lol. It is a cracking monitor though, using it for work still.

That'll be a decent enough system mate. Although I wouldn't use AMD personally, if not only down to the fact it's been so long it'd be like starting from scratch again overclocking lol.

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

You sure your 3 titans can upstand that TV haha

I never been a big fan of overclocking cos I can't see/ feel the differences honestly.
But im happy with my cpu atm its on par with my mates i7.

Then once thats all sorted I can start buying new peripherals lol

 

[Wilkeh]

Wouldn't bother with SLi to be honest mate. Single card solution is always the best. Scone will agree, even if he is running 3 Titans himself! I'd get a 780 personally.

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

Ah right cos I've looked at a 780 and it works out that I can buy 2 GTX 770 4GB versions and itll still be cheaper than most 780's and it will probably out perform it too.

 

[Wilkeh]

It's up to you mate. There's more benefits with single card solution, less power draw, more reliable etc. There's no denying a 770 SLi will be faster than a 780. Hell, it probably even outperforms a Titan.

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

Don't get me excited now lol

Also saying you got two 4gb gpu's is just for bragging rights haha

 

[McGherkin]

Well, my new Sidewinder's settled in nicely. Love it.

Now I've just gotta decide what to macro, and also come up with a way of properly mounting the joystick/handbrake forward of the gear lever.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Left hand mousey? Surely not.

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

Bland Question but im looking at a mousemat atm as I've got a shiny new desk and don't want to ruin it.
So Is there an actual difference between them apart from material?

I've never used a mat before so its an honest question lol

 

[McGherkin]

Left hand mousey? Surely not.

Yeah, I use the mouse on the left. Partly because I'm left handed anyway, and partly because it's next to the shifter which makes it a lot easier to use. Otherwise I'd have to use my left hand to change gear and my right to work the mouse, and that don't leave a lot of hands left on the wheel.

Massive differences mate. They all give very different glides so it's completely down to personal preference. I use a hard mouse mat (Steelseries 9HD) as opposed to a cloth one, I like the feedback better on hard mats as they have a slightly "rough" texture where I find cloth ones too smooth.

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

Awesome, thanks mate
I'm used to just a desk so a harder one would be best for me.

 

[GiT]

Not bothered with a mouse mat in years.

Currently planning re-doing my PC room. Utter dump currently (as in dumping ground - we aint hobo's lol).

Want a bigger monitor, couple of proper monitor speakers (Missions currently) and a nice new desk. New floor, lowered ceiling with LED's in it. Will be a proper gamers grotto.

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

I made my desk! What a pain that was to do on your own.

 

[Cookie]

I still have an Icemat v2. Had it a loooong time now. Glass mousemat ftw.

 

[Addicted]

Probs the same one I have, had it about 4 years also now

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

Don't like glass ones lol
I've got one in mind atm so buying it on pay day

 

[Wilkeh]

Which one mate?

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

I use a Razer Goliath.

In all fairness I've never used a solid one so can't comment on the differences but it works very nicely with my Deathadder, very smooth.

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

This is what my mate got and I can get along with it pretty well see

Here was my battle station yesterday. I work at this f**king contraption for 9 hours because delay delivery for my desk

1800mm x 1200mm radial desk arrived this afternoon though, going to order two pedestals as well which are desk high and will extend by 400mm each end. Might put some pic up. Hardly impressive.

Nice set up above, but why onboard sound?

 

[Ja5on]

TBH couldn't decide which card to go for.

Got a set of razer 7.1 headphones so just figure that the onboard sound would do for now

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

Does anyone on here play CoD4?
If so PM me later cos the weather is foul and fancy playing with someone on here too
