    What Mechanical Switch Is Your Favorite?

    I've got QFR boards in red, blue, brown and black, and tend to rotate between red, brown and blue depending on my mood -- black is unusably heavy for my taste. If pressed though, I'd have to say red is my favorite. Blues can be fun, but are a bit too heavy. Browns are nice, but don't quite have...

    What video card has served you the longest before upgrading?

    Another nod to the 8800GT. Bought it on release for $200 IIRC, lasted 3+ years.... what a beast it was.

    Help Selecting a mini Keyboard/Mouse Trackpad for HTPC

    Surprised no one has mentioned the Lenovo Mini. I've used/abused mine for years; it's reliable, has excellent range, and is inexpensive. http://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Multimedia-Remote-Keyboard-Non-backlit/dp/B00BV9N3M6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1387669184&sr=8-1&keywords=lenovo+mini+keyboard

    And the Fugliest Custom 290X Award goes to...

    Hmmm, wouldn't be so bad with a black pcb; the blue just looks terrible. Then again, I don't remember the last time I even glanced at my existing GPU with aesthetic considerations in mind...

    What is your favorite web browser?

    Firefox, hands-down. I'm too dependent on Firebug to use anything else.

    ASUS MARS 760 4GB

    Pretty much this. Can't fathom a cogent justification for the $200+ premium over SLI 760 2Gb's.

    GPU debate! - 760 - 670 vs 7870 - r9 270/x - MSI or EVGA - Asus, SAPh, XFX, PCooler?

    Perhaps not an appreciable difference, but all else being equal, I believe a 670 is 5-10% faster than a 760.

    Is ther any vram study done for older cards?

    What led you to assume the cause was lack of vram? There seems to be lots of anecdotal accounts about vram holding people back from running game X at mega resolution with max AA/supersampling etc., yet a lack of hard evidence to support the claim that vram is the bottleneck in most cases. I...

    never looked for a gpu on black friday/cyber monday... what are you experiences?

    Black Friday / cyber monday have become more of a marketing ploy than anything else; don't expect any amazing deals.
