    So my wife wanted a mechanical keyboard...

    That looks a lot like some OEM version of those Corsair K series keyboards, at least as far as the shaping of the shell and wrist guard go. If that's what it is that's a hell of a good price.

    G.SKILL Flare X and FORTIS for Ryzen

    Is the 3200 set actually available anywhere yet? I can't find it, but all the slower speeds are up on Newegg. Or is there an equivalent set confirmed to work in the Asus Crosshair board?

    Ryzen Shipping Thread

    Local Microcenter is showing 10+ in stock of all three processors, but has a terrible selection of motherboards. I want my two m.2 slots so the two Asus X370 boards they have listed are both out. Ugh. Maybe they have others and I'm just not finding them, I dunno. Maybe they'll just go out of...

    Buying Ryzen? Share w/ us your upcoming build!

    I saw this but I'm not sure I have the patience to wait for them to get a bracket out. They said middle of the month or something. I'll be two weeks into staring at the rest of the hardware by that time. As much as I hate Corsair Link as a software package they might just get me anyway since...

    AMD Ryzen preorders begin today (AMD press release)

    I put in an order for an 1800X and 32GB of DDR4 but was fairly disappointed in the motherboard selection. The ones that had all the features I wanted were Asrocks that just showed auto-notify buttons from minute one. The MSI Titanium board would work but man, that price.

    AMD Ryzen preorders begin today (AMD press release)

    I was going to wait for things to settle but I think I'm in for an 1800X preorder if I can actually get one. Will be on shitty wifi here at work trying to do it though so maybe not, depending on how long preorders stay available.

    Origami-Inspired Shield Absorbs Handgun Bullets

    Definitely a cool idea. Wasn't overly impressed until it said it stopped a .44. That's a powerful bullet at the ranges they were testing. Though I couldn't help but note they were firing out of a snubby little barrel instead of something with a 6 or 7 inch that would give it a little more...

    Republic of Gamers Announces Strix GL553VW

    Yeah releasing a new gaming laptop with a non-pascal graphics chip in it at this point means it's just not even going to get considered at least by me. There's going to be super thin and light stuff with 1060's all over the place.

    Corsair Carbide Air 740 Review @Guru3D

    I just want a tempered glass sidepanel for the Air 540 I already have.

    Why do stores say "Add to cart" to see price?

    Yeah, it's a weird distinction, but it's forced on them by manufacturers not allowing advertised or publicly visible prices below a certain point.

    Dell Acknowledges Security Hole In New Laptops

    I thought I'd killed most of their stuff when I did a fresh install of windows 10, but apparently some of it is linked to some things like the control software for the system's LED garbage which I need to install because I don't want the lid of my laptop glowing while I'm using it, and it also...

    Dell Acknowledges Security Hole In New Laptops

    So they say it's only on PC's from August on but my Alienware 13 I ordered way back in like March and have been using for the better part of 7 months of the year still has that stupid eDellroot key and is vulnerable. The August time they give is BS.

    Sometimes you really do get what you pay for. Maybe more...

    I'd consider doing a recase into an Enthoo Pro M if it ever actually becomes available. But yeah. Otherwise things have slowed down enough that there isn't that much gain to be had from big regular upgrades. In the meantime, my Air 540 is fine.

    ASUS Announces ROG GX860 Buzzard Gaming Mouse

    :rolleyes: There's roughly 9800 mice based on the 9800 and they all have the same stupid issues.

    Banging my head against a wall over this issue.

    Wow. Just reading that puts me off buying anything from XFX again. Noted.
