    New keyboard in the form of a 6Gv2 SteelSeries using black switches

    Coming from having used a rubber switch keyboard for a long time this was a very pleasant change.

    I wonder, is that because you went from a membrane to a mechanical keyboard or was it specifically the Steelseries 6Gv2? If yes, then what makes it stand out according to you?

    What is this? Stuff wrapped in plastic?!



    I've got my case bits back from their powdercoating session!



    It all looks very lovely, you can check out the rest of the pictures I quickly snapped here!

    I think I'm still going to paint the exterior surfaces with a white HS colour for a nicer finish though My package of acrylic tubing should hopefully arrive by friday so I can have plenty of time to play with them this weekend.

    Awesome! So wait, is this a new computer or are you redoing the case that you had from before?

    Soooo... I got sick of having just one monitor. I knew I should have upgraded to the one that was VESA... but I loved the AH-IPS the ASUS MX239H has and the color is calibrated about as perfect as you can calibrate it, I think? It was only $200 for an A+ grade AH-IPS 1080p panel... I'm happy with that.

    I must say though, my 5 year old Gateway 1680x1050 LCD monitor has better color reproduction than my 1 year old Acer S211HL... >_> See for yourself! (This was the best I could do to get this all to fit and work. The Gateway (Mr. Far to the Left) will just be like media player-type stuff.

    Well, the case is my old 343B that I got bored off and decided to mod quite extensively! CPU/Mobo, GPU and SSD are new, + some miscellaneous cooling parts that are new

    I really like that glass on your desk, what's it's preferred content?

    Looks like a proper whisky glass, although knowing Deltrus he probably drinks beer off it (the weirdo).

    Thanks! Preferred content is a craft beer. A good Barleywine, Imperial Stout, Milk Stout, Double IPA, and anything barrel-aged.

    Not really weird considering most people who drink craft beer know that a proper snifter is often considered one of the best glasses for such aromatic beers. (Not sure if you folks in Finland get as many crazy styles as we do.) :P

    "Used for brandy and cognac, these wide-bowled and stemmed glasses with their tapered mouths are perfect for capturing the aromas of strong ales. Volumes range, but they all provide room to swirl and agitate volatiles.

    Benefits: Captures and enhances volatiles. " from http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/101/glassware/

Traditionally whiskeys are served in a short glass with water on the side if it's close to cask strength, but one distiller has tried to invent a "scotch glass". I have a couple but rarely use them because they don't seem to improve the experience of drinking a scotch, I've also never seen one used at a proper scotch bar (though I have seen them at tasting events). The look sort of like a shortened highball glass but they're flared at the base slightly.
    Someone knows what they are talking about.

    I don't see how a slightly messy desk makes someone a redneck...

    Probably a combination of both. While going from a membrane keyboard to this one certainly helped its also quite sturdy built without any macro buttons that i have no use for just taking up space.

    Looks like a cognac glass to me. "Whisky" glasses tend to not have a stem, and often have only a slight curvature (if any at all) to the walls of the glass.

    Might want to change the center. It's a bit 'cold' (greater than 6500k) aka bluish, to the point where it's very noticeable.

    I'm tempted to get a Colorimeter and spectrophotometers are too expensive. You should've look into U2414H, the MX239 I believe isn't bad, but I can't remember off the top of my head.
    In the end, software calibration > hardware. Mainly cause finer tweaking. (Provided there isn't hardware LUT).

    windows 8 compounds this, but you can disable some of the touchscreen gestures in the registry

    of all the laptop's i've used, the only ones with that have good touchpads are macbooks

    Funny, to me everything looks to be placed, spotless and political correct, like trying to project a certain image. Reminds me a little of the character Hannibal (not the murderers tendencies and eating humans of course). Guess we all see things differently

    Looks quite neat though. My desk and setup is generally a little more messy from everyday use.

    The only reason the mx239 is so cheap is because they took out vesa support, dvi, and display port. It is certainly a very nice monitor. As for Dell... idk. I've seen some of them in person at micro center and they just look.... well, dull. Flat. :-|

    FYI this is nothing new. A lot of legitimate gaming laptops have dual graphics cards, they just tend to cost a pretty rough price.
