Subject: Want to build a PC? PC Building Guide and FAQ of The Flood

There are certainly some trusted sellers out there. If you're interested I can link you to some. Regardless you're right. Personally I'd prefer a three monitor set-up in 1080p at 120 Hz than a single 27" 1440 monitor (far too large in my opinion).

Anyone have a 1440 monitor?[/quote]I wish. They're just so expensive compared to a 1080p monitor
Not terribly.
I'm always hesitant to buy something like that off ebay. Also, my 22" 1080p monitor is $140. I'd rather buy 2 more and have a 3 monitor setup.

I'm certainly interested, but I doubt I'll buy one. My next computer upgrade will be GTX 660ti or GTX 670 and a blu-ray reader hopefully either over Black Friday or near Christmas.

Family is starting to purchase a lot of blu-ray movies and I want to be able to watch them in my room. Since (at least when I'm home over the summer) my computer is plugged into my TV it would be nice to use it rather than purchasing a separate player.

Kind of regretted going for a Microsoft rubber dome keyboard. Should have bought a SteelSeries (I think it's this one?) mechanical that was on the shelf.

But it'll be difficult to justify the higher price for a keyboard since I wasn't the one purchasing it. Anyway, I'll consider one if I can raise enough money.
I have that keyboard ;)

It's really nice, although I have two qualms with it. Firstly, the letters on the keys are laser etched, so they wear out from normal use. They stay white, but not as white. The other is the placement of the back-slash. While I love the larger enter key, it takes some getting used to when trying to type certain emoticons, and it's one more not-so-easy-to-press key. The function buttons work well with the SteelSeries key which replaces the Windows key (which is now on the right side of the board).

Of course, I was thinking about picking up a QuickFire Pro since it has brown switches.


What program is that you're using to organize your desktop?

Fences. It's super easy to use and uses no resources.

I like them because I'm not normally staring at my desktop, so I don't need to see the wallpaper all of the time. When I want to, I can double-click the desktop and all of my icons will disappear. Plus, I used at least half of those desktop shortcuts on a daily basis.

Just installed it, and that double-click to hide feature is really damn cool.

It scared the hell out of me when I was first using Fences... So glad that pop-up was there.

Also, if anyone wants to add me on Steam, my ID is Acknown3. I figure since we talk on a semi-daily basis, you might as well add me.

Would any of you happen to know how to properly dispose of a PSU? I was thinking of blow-torching it and smashing it with a sledge hammer.
I tossed an old one in the trash, but that's after I disassembled it. I still have the fan but I severed the connector.
