I would use Parted Magic, which has a utility for erasing disks.

If you're willing to buy it from somewhere else, Superbiiz has the C300 for $119.99.

Have you tried AutoHotkey for this?

Nice benchmarks, but could you crop that image some? :) BTW, do you notice a big difference in how the system "feels" when the performance degrades?

What about the Logitech G9x? I think my grip is similar to yours, and I've found it to be well-suited for that.

I wouldn't even divide the 1TB drive into partitions. The problem I had with multiple partitions is that I always ended up running out of room on one, or not using enough space on another. With mechanical drives only, I still would create a separate partition for the OS and apps so that you...

Can these monitors show 24hz movies with 5:5 pulldown? I'm guessing it can't accept 24hz input, but can it accept 120hz input so that the computer could show each frame 5 times?

You should have tried putting both in one order. Someone mentioned that worked for him to get 20% off both on the SSDs.

Okay, but are you saying that Windows reports it as 59Gb, or it actually has 59 billion bytes (which would mean that Windows would report it as about 54.9)?

Isn't that the same thing that happens with conventional hard drives, with the difference being that the drive is 64 billion bytes whereas Windows is reporting it in "gibibytes?" If not, I'd like to know if SSDs actually have extra space set aside. I know they have reserve blocks, but those...

It went out of stock last night. The promo was for 20% off any SSD. I was going to buy this but it was OOS when I was ready to pull the trigger. I almost went for the Samsung 470, but couldn't quite justify it.

For help with the game saves, you might want to try GameSave Manager: http://gsm.duncsweb.com/ They can be all over the place and difficult to find sometimes.

In Soviet Russia, vodka spills you!

How similar do you want? There's the Ideazon Fang, the Logitech G13, and the Nostromo Speedpad (replaced by the Belkin n52te). Those are all gaming keypads, but I don't know of anything else with the circular layout like that one. I suppose another alternative would be to get a number pad and...

120hz and higher sets have a feature that processes the image to make it appear smoother, by interpolating frames in between the real frames. For some reason this has become synonymous with the 120hz refresh rate, even though it's optional. What I would like 120hz for is the ability to show...

I would suggest reading Razer's mouse guide: http://www2.razerzone.com/MouseGuide/index.html Especially since you mentioned pain, I think it's important to pick out a mouse that suits your grip style and hand size. Not that I'm endorsing Razer or anything; they just happen to have a good guide.

Generally, no. It becomes either your movement controller (taking the place of the WASD keys, which frees up your fingers to work the keys) or something else entirely. This is meant to replace a keyboard, not a mouse. Although, you could map the mouse input to the joystick as someone else...

I have a question about the DK. If you're not using the USB ports, do you need to plug in both USB connections, or is one sufficient for the keyboard?

Didn't you just say you preferred Browns in the Mechanical Keyboard Guide thread?

I suppose that was their most direct competitor, but I wouldn't give them all the credit. Amazon and other online retailers, and even Wal-Mart to some extent put them out.

Yeah, actually I'm having some second thoughts because I may want to get a board with brown switches instead. I'm reading that blues aren't optimal for gaming, but I really don't know if I would have a problem with them or not. I'm not a competitive gamer or anything like that. The problem...

How often does the Rosewill go on sale? I want to pull the trigger on it, but if it really gets discounted a lot I may wait a bit.

The Razer Black Widow also apparently has rubberized keys, and it's mechanical too (Cherry blues).

Are you sure it's not a 2600k? $250 seems high considering it goes for around $225 (when the retailers resume selling them, anyway).

Frankly, I would suggest waiting for the fixed Sandy Bridge motherboards if at all possible. An i5-2500k would be a faster CPU than that i7-870 and cost about $65 less.

It's kind of a pain on 64-bit windows because you have to get around the signed drivers requirement.

Not to mention, some of us still use a sound card, and may want a slot or two for something like wi-fi or a TV tuner card. And maybe it's just me, but I'd be nervous about cramming two video cards on a micro ATX board since they'd be practically touching each other. I would want a little space...

Well, I don't know why it takes so long to get to their website, but over at Tweaktown there are Gigabyte reps that have posted F6b and F6. Note that they said the PLL overvoltage feature will only be in the beta BIOSes (F6b, not F6)...

Yes, I have noticed people saying a game is "laggy" and I can't be sure what exactly they mean. I prefer to qualify it with an adjective as in "input lag" or "network lag," as it's just too broad to be used on its own unless the context has been established.

What BIOS are you using, BTW?

That's fine. That particular manufacturer just decided to label them the way a human would, rather than a computer that would start with 0. Just make sure the first two are the 6Gbps.

I turn it on for all programs, but I have run into a few that won't work with it on. IIRC, one of them was Out of the Park Baseball 10. If there's an issue you would get an error message related to "BEX," so make an exception for DEP if that comes up.

Yes, I understand, and I was including those in the people that will want to get it replaced.

http://buy.logitech.com/store/logib2c/en_US/DisplayCategoryProductListPage/categoryid.28136100?WT.ac=sc|downloads||dd#back I don't think there's anything that can be done about how the feet don't last long. The material is just soft by design, and will inevitably wear down over time. All you...

I've always used my middle finger for the scroll wheel and right button.

Because you don't need to replace it unless you need to use the affected ports. Using only the 6Gbps ports, perhaps with an add-on card for more ports, is an acceptable solution IMHO for those that don't want to tear down their systems. Yes, I understand that some people will want to get it...

I wish he wouldn't say you will "need" to swap out the motherboard when the revised ones are out.

I'm only using a 3Gbps port for my BD drive as of now, but I'll need to move a hard drive when I get a SSD. I think I'll just get a SATA card rather than replace the board.

Well, as someone who doesn't like any extra lights on my computer and never uses the (hardware) reset switch, I appreciate being able to connect nothing but the power switch. But, I certainly understand your frustration and I could manage fine if there was a standard connector. I'd just cut...

Could you give us some information about what this is going to be used for?
