Hello again, I've gone through the first class of Cisco's Network Academy but really felt like it wasn't as engaging as I expected. A problem was I wanted to read the material off line and it was mostly done in Flash presentations. I am really looking for a good lab manual that has lots...

I just picked up the K60 from Frys today, surprised to see it in stock and finally here. I was about to buy the K90 but after the pricing increase and the extra width decided upon the slightly smaller K60. Also I'm not a big MMO player and the extra buttons would have just been wasted. I've...

I would recommend the PI Engineering macro keyboards to use with a non-macro mechanical keyboard. http://www.piengineering.com/landing/wow.php I had one for a few weeks and really liked the setup, used it for work, not for gaming. Also another idea is using AutoHotKey for some macros as...

I heard about the rumors of Blizzard making the panda theme a trademark and registration of some panda themed domain names. At first I was guessing it was just for a new TCG, never would have guessed it's an actual xpac.

I missed this news posting but it's explains the strange prices I saw in my Amazon cart. Last night I added two books to my Amazon cart, have many items I keep in "saved for later" but never really buy them. One item was the WD Raptor drive, normally $169, suddenly it jumped to $300. Eh...

Here's a more detailed thread about laser etched, I would assume it's just plastic since the colors are not the same across the colors. http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?22283-New-laser-etching-coming-soon!-Feedback-appreciated-D

Here's some detail shots of the keys and laser etched vs engraved. The color is from the burning of the keys, I'm typing on the keyboard now and can't feel any roughness of the keys. Pretty sure they are not filled in with paint...

I find this thread pretty entertaining. Everyone has a different idea of their ideal keyboard. :D

Finally got around to taking pictures of the keyboard from WASD. Overall I've been using the keyboard for the last few weeks, this is the semi-custom with Cherry Browns plus the o-ring dampeners. I also had the laser etched with modern font style done on the keys, the color is yellow of the keys...

I really like the XXL Trac Pad, I have that under my keyboard and mousepad, but also a smaller X Trac Pad for the left side of my computer. My desk by robscomputer, on Flickr

I agree with the previous post, it's a lighter click versus a louder sound from the M. I have a Unicomp and compared with a Cherry Brown and a Cherry Blue. Personally I found that the Unicomp had a louder click sound but it was slightly deeper, but still enough that my wife could hear it just...

I agree, we seen different mix of switches in keyboards, often the space bar using a stiffer switch. I'm not that bothered by it, they give their claim and reason why they went with domes. My deciding factor is trying out the keyboard at the store, and hoping it's that impressive I'll switch out...

Interesting reply from Corsair about why they chose dome's for the function and macro keys. http://www.corsair.com/blog/vengeance-gaming-keyboard-keyswitch-technology/?utm_source=Corsair&utm_medium=Facebook_Twitter&utm_content=VengengeanceKS&utm_campaign=SocialMedia

Hello, I've installed Mint across a handful of systems and haven't had any major issues. You might want to confirm that your disk is ok. In most cases of OS install failures, it's been a faulty disk that was the problem and not the actual OS. You can download the new ISO from here...

I just received my semi-custom from WASD last night. It's the yellow keys with red esc posted above. I was really worried that with the browns and the o-rings it would be mushy but it's a perfect mix of lower key click and still crispy feeling. IMHO it's a great work keyboard and also sounds a...

Sorry, misread your posting. WASD Keyboard by robscomputer, on Flickr

The o-rings are on back order so it's not shipped yet, hoping to get here on Tuesday or Wednesday this week. I'll post some pictures as it's only a semi-custom, wanted something basic yet different. It's just yellow with laser print, red esc key, browns and o-rings. But I'll post here and on...

I finally took the plunge and ordered a semi-custom browns with laser etching. I'm looking forward to the keyboard, as I really like the color combo I chose and also got the o-ring mod installed to make it even quieter for work. Just hoping the yellow and black color combo I picked will make...

Wow, these guys are 15 minutes from where I live and pass by on my way to work. Good looking out for the US company and local shops. I've been tempted to start swapping out key caps and planning an order to replacement 10 keyless set.

After reading about the different keys for the F and macro buttons I'm a bit surprised. I would have guessed that it might be easier to just keep the same switches for the entire board but of course the pricing would be more expensive. I wonder if the box will say "All Cherry MX switches*"...

From the website. "Laser-etched, backlit keys with four illumination levels (off, 66%, 75%, and full illumination) selectable from the keyboard" Is this the non-wearing keys? http://www.corsair.com/vengeance-k90-performance-mmo-mechanical-gaming-keyboard.html

I'm really interested in the keyboard and mouse, I think I'll go with the K90 and M60. I like the backlight and additional buttons but I'm not crazy about them on the mouse. Also on the topic of keyboards with LCD's. I had my Logitech G15 (original version) since it came out. Rarely do I...

I was discussing with another friend who bought the 650 as well. We both felt that the only improvement to this case would be adding one inch behind the motherboard tray to increase the area for storing cables. On my computer, with all of the cables tucked away it's slightly bulging out the...

I'm tested out a few Linux distros and really enjoy Mint 11. So far it's easy to update and configure, especially since it's based upon Ubuntu. But where Ubuntu lost me with their new desktop, the Mint version is much easier to transition over from Windows. My wife, who never used Linux...

I had no problems installing Windows on the Vertex, just remapped my profile folders to the second drive since space was lacking on the SSD. If you are flashing for an upgrade you need a working system, so it might be handy to check the current firmware, then boot off another drive to flash...

I've been shopping with Amazon since 2000 and never had any major problems. I do think the problems of getting open boxes or obvious used items might be from "fulfilled by Amazon" purchases. From what I understand of the concept is that seller ship items to Amazon, Amazon holds the product in...

I'm working through the CCNA class from Cisco's Network Academy. It's been fun, and really enjoying Packet Tracer. Haven't build anything serious but it's very handy.

Thanks Xaeos for the awesome reply. I didn't know it was open source and that's a big plus. Also I checked on some hosting packages and for 10 people it's extremely reasonable, now I'm looking for a vendor and trying it out for our weekly gaming night. I'm interested in the control panel and...

I missed the sale but I'm looking forward to this game. I'm pretty sure they will fix all of the issues shortly and hoping they release DLC's to continue the story beyond the current zones.

I used Vent in the past with guilds, but for my friends we're using Skype. It's just much easier to work with and less to configure. So far playing with three people it's been extremely stable and easy to configure. What is the benefits to using Vent or Mumble for smaller groups? Only think...

Finally it's released! Just wondering from the game play videos I've seen, it looks more like a Resident Evil feel. Where you have limited ammo, more melee combat and running away from the zombies. Is this the case? I really wish it was more in tune to Borderlands, where there's more...

To the OP, If you buy from good service companies like Newegg, they will in most cases authorize shipping back to them for any issues with the hardware. I know it's a pain to deal with if you don't have a car but sending back smaller items like memory or motherboards shouldn't be a big...

I feel the same way, I love trackballs for work but I haven't had great luck with them gaming. Right now I'm working a very click heavy job where I find the trackball is saving my wrist from added stress.

I bought the non-LED version a few months ago, and the feel of the keys were good but it felt like the buttons were just a tiny bit smaller than the standard keyboard. I couldn't pin point it but I was making all kinds of typos on the keyboard, like it was maybe 98% I estimate smaller. I did...

Hi, I just purchased Beyerdymanic DT770 (2005 version) 250ohm headphones to use with the Asus Essence STX card. I'm honestly not that impressed, my current headphones Sony 7506 feel like they have more highs and mids, while the DT770's are more bass heavy. The bass personally feels a bit too...

Sorry for bumping an old thread but I was looking for some updates about trackballs. :D I've been using a few track balls, favorite so far is the Microsoft Intelltrack ball, then a Logitech trackball (the one without any scroll wheels), Kensington Export mouse, finally a Kensington Orbit...

I recently bought this mouse the Cyborg 7 from Best Buy. They had a sale for $74.99, figured it would be a decent chance to try it out. I played with the mouse and loved the feel of it, coming from the Logitech G9x, I liked the flat feeling over the taller moused. But I really noticed that...

Pretty sure her e-mail will return, this sounds like the e-mail was upgraded to the latest client? Also I would contact customer care as well. http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/helpcentral/

Thanks for the link, I'm going to test that out at work. I think it's pretty much what I'm looking for!

I have the 650 case and it might be harder than other cases to mod. The case by default has the DVD drive sit in a tool less mounting frame, where you just push it in place and the frame locks the drive in place. Also there's a notch on the front plate that you need to install the DVD drive with...
