Early Japanese keyboard by IBM

I have like 5 G5 aluminum cases I've been meaning to hackintosh...

Doesnae work

of course not because Apple sees to it. You should have kept that 2700K rig and gone Linux, or even Windows.

Not worth it to me. I'd rather switch to iOS than to another desktop OS. They suck donkey balls.

(Switching software platforms is the opposite of switching keyboards. Your investment is deep. Even in remembering how everything works, and where it's located. I was a miserable computer user back on Windows before 2003 when I went to OS X. I've no desire to revisit that experience. I know how much Windows guys hate Microsoft's direction in recent releases. And Linux is opaque to me, as I can neither code nor truly understand a command line. Despite using computers since the 1980s! I think and type in English, computers don't. So I use them with graphics.)

OK lets leave the OS topic for some defty

Spoiler:

Haggis

...

Have you tried them Muirium? I see you as an Elementary OS or Kubuntu sort of guy...

don`t get him started on other OS`s...

2700K and he no longer thinks thats good ??? Something wrong with him . I am only upgrading for more PCI lanes for the SSD and the new GPU. I use a sound card as well that takes a PCI lane too.

16gig is loads, i only run 8 thinking of going 32 with new build but 32 gigs of DDR 4 is going to be super expensive

[seebart]

no sense in upgrading to DDR 4 at this point. I run 8 gigs, never had any bottlenecks.

Mu you`re a former Windows user?! I can`t believe it. Don`t get me wrong. I´m not arguing for or against any platform. Linux isn`t command line`ish anymore btw. OK a little more than Win. But not as much as say five years ago.

you obviously don't play the secret world

2600k raid 0 Vertex 3 8gig 1600mhtz and SLI 680s , 60 FPS at 1440p no chance ! chrome open in the background with more than 1 or 2 tabs ? GOod luck with that

I have to disable my second screen or the thing runs at like 20 FPS

Haggis...

We can all agree on haggis!



I could waste years grumbling about the trouble with the software available on Windows and Linux. The nice thing about the Mac, for me, is my favourite developers (Omni Group, Panic, Smile, Bare Bones, etc. etc.) are right there and don't bother with anything else. The ecosystem is focussed on picky, pixel obsessed, non-coders like myself. I'm slap bang in the middle of the Mac mainstream when it comes to software needs and taste. (If not keyboards, obviously!) There's just no friction when I use a supported Mac. It's like nothing else in computing, for me.

Nah, I just need more money, all the time. A new Mac every 3 or 4 years would solve everything. Looking enviously at my brother in America, I'm getting ideas. His cost of living is lower than over here and his salary makes people gasp. I don't grudge him that. I just want likewise!

you obviously don't play the secret world

never even heard of it. Sounds like it needs some serious hardware. Of course your video resolution isn`t making things easier! I´m keen to see how GTA V will run on my setup.

Ah there`s the Haggis. If I ever get to Scotland I´ll try some.

[Muirium]

It's okay on my friend's box, that I mentioned above. The Assassin's Creed he tried last year though: ouch. Even with a top of the line two-Realforces-at-Keyboardco GeForce! Something was up with that one. Jerktastic.

He only runs one screen, 1080p. It is a huge projector though. Not my taste (the pixels are as big as keycaps!) but he likes it.

A modern Day MMO, no levels 1000 of abilities, some of the best quest design ever in any game ( not just MMO) simply fantastic.

I mean how often do you have to work a a chemical formula or translate HEX to binary to complete a quest not often.

You should give it a go , we need another DPS monkey !

[Muirium]

Well, I understand what hex is, I think. Yay me!

Someone hotlink it plz. Flickr doesn't play ball with my old machines at all. (While Photobucket is awful even on the newish one.)

I hate Photobucket too. "Ah fuck it, it's Photobucket!"™

I know how much Windows guys hate Microsoft's direction in recent releases.

What is recent? Because Windows 7 doesn't suck. (At least not any more than Windows in general sucks.) It's everything Vista should have been in the first place.

On the near horizon, it looks like Windows 10 is going to be configurable enough to act like whatever other version of Windows you're accustomed to – in my case, that would be 7, but it starts out looking a lot like 8, only with the most hated parts turned off by default. (They're still available if you liked Metro.) And 8 was actually the opposite of bloat, as they've been trimming and tuning to operate on comparatively underpowered tablets.
