Just got in my GPU card support. I had to order this from China and it took its merry time getting to me...but I think it was well worth it. I had a big black spot on my computer and this covers it nicely as well as support the GPU. I ordered the 4 pin 12V version off of Amazon. The seller had a lot of different images to select from...but I wanted something Ronin like. I gather it is from some anime show...but I do like the design. I have MSI Mystic Light controlling it right now, and it syncs with the motherboard LEDs cycling through the colour spectrum. I am happy with it.

Update time:

It happened with my Dierya 60% wireless RGB keyboard. I was playing a FPS game when my "A" key starting sticking. I pulled the key with the included key puller and made sure to clean everything out as much as I could, and realized afterwards it was the mechanical sensor that was at fault. I really liked the 60% keyboard size but found that some of the extra keys I needed to use was a bit esoteric in how I had to access those functions...the key I missed the most was the DEL key. I went back to Amazon and took a look at the other 60% keyboards and found a few that were called 10keyless. These featured the missing buttons of the 60% keyboards and also omitted the number pad. I found a nice Razer Huntsman Tournament TKL keyboard and decided to buy it before reading any reviews.

Well, after buying it, I then started to read the reviews and found out that these use the newer optical mechanical switches. Apparently they work by allowing a beam of light to pass through when the key is depressed. I also read that the keys are so sensitive that typos will be domain. Now that I got the keyboard in, I will say the typo thing is true. If I lightly rest a finger on a key, it will activate. I am not so bothered because my typing style always had my fingers hovering over the keys and not touching them until I need to press a key. Still, this keyboard will take some getting used to.

Happy to say it is very nice for gaming. The keys feel more premium than my older 60% keyboard. The LED is not as mesmerizing as the older Dierya keyboard was...but the keys do feature lighted keys which aren't as hard on the eyes...in other words, even though this keyboard is more mate, I actually prefer this.

I hope this keyboard will last longer than the older one. Being a Razer, I am sure it will do nicely.

Well I didn’t know, I figured on the floppies, but I still figured they use the cd style, I mean I remember we ordered him a program or game once and it was in a case, there was a cd, yet you popped it out of the case and it was cardboard and the codes were on the back,,

All I know is one of the parts they didn’t have so he was mad, they said they had one similar and he said no it’s not showing up, then he looked again and they did, it was like $45 more, a little better and had three cooling fans vs only two, so he went with it, the next one up from that was $1,000 up, um no! I just hope for all he’s done and we’ve helped this things worth it!

JR

So he will have 2 SSD (Solid State Drive) of 1TB each and 1TB hard drive, giving a total of 3TB.

The SSD's are a lot faster than conventional hard drives, basically he has a lot of fast storage.  :salute: :salute:

I guess, :dunno:
I just got my butt handed to me for buying the Mrs something online for Valentine’s Day because I didn’t know how to place the order, with the account and she kept yelling at me trying to walk me through it blindfolded so she couldn’t see what I bought.. like I’m said I’m old school..

This crappy couch has to leave so his old desk can come down and we can take over his old comp, so we can play sims and other things, dogs going to be mad cause that’s his spot! It’s also in front of the window so it’s his spy spot, so we’re going to move a storage seat over for him, and bring down our other table.. this way at least he can keep any eye out,, just looses the couch,, :-\  he’s always on moms lap anyway, unless one of us is watching a movie or something..

I must say this thing is nasty! It weighs almost 30lbs, matte black case, with a tempered glass side, the led lights in the freaking thing you can do just about anything to, the one round on you can make spin, either way, or do in waves, the ones that go around the case again you can make them go like back and forth, in waves, or even breath, heck you can even set it up to dance with what music you have playing! And in any color, but of course we went with all red and the one round one spins! Totally cool!! I think we counted 7 cooling fans,,

Miscount! Missed two others, so a total of 9 fans!
He’s playing his first game now, red day redemption, I must say it is running so fast, and yet it shows that the liquid cooling core is running at 34° while the rest is at 54°!
This thing is just wow!
