Hmm this keyboard looks nice but it looks like it lacks a couple modifiers and a numpad. Also I guess it's mechanical ?

there's nothing on a full sized keyboard (apart from pause/play/forward/backwards media buttons, i guess) that this one can't do. having the F# keys be secondary functions of the # keys is a little annoying sometimes, but all the other combinations (fn+[, /, ;, ' for up, down, left, and right, for example) are actually a lot easier. the switches are topres; they're capacitive, and use a combination of a higher quality rubber dome and a conical spring to avoid the "mushiness" of standard rubber dome keyboards and the "clickiness" of mechanicals.

hehe, for unix-like systems it would be more like this:

If you are getting a MicroATX motherboard, there's no point in getting a larger ATX case, get a microatx case like this one:

that graphics card is very big, though. i just got the 760 version, and it was long enough to necessitate removing my extra three HDD bays (and that was with a particularly large microATX case), so, if you need lots of space for disk drives, a larger case is a good idea. it can also help out a bit with airflow.

and yeah, as of right now the 770 is $20 off over at newegg.

as for the keyboard, if you're looking to play games, you might want to try something with reds. they don't have all the "clickiness" of other switches which is nice for the sustained key presses games often require.

yes, that's what i thought you meant. you can create an OS string variable and store text into it fairly easy from within Axe using the method i linked to. if you do it right, it will be just like any other os string which you can recall that way.

=0 do want.

* shmibs still doesn't even have a desktop saving money is difficult

after a bit of waiting, i finally got and put together one of my own =)

Haswell i7-4770 at 3.4GHz
16GB RAM at 1600MHz
128GB OCV Vertex-4 /* supposedly 560 MB/s read X_X */ for / and a salvaged disk for /home /* until i can save up enough for a couple of decent drives to stick in RAID 1 */
Gigabyte GTX-760
HHKB Professional 2 /* this keyboard alone accounts for ~$300. it's worth it, though =D */
total: 1389.13 USD

you should write half of it in the top left corner and the other half along the right side. that seems like the best use of space, seeing as the screen is wider than it is tall and the font taller than it is wide

^agreed =)

a thing about your gif, though: it doesn't make any sense for the slime's body to snap up at its apex there and then drop back down. it would either stay down the whole time or snap up on the way down and stay up until it lands.

it seems to me that, because it requires additional hardware drivers, portability wouldn't be possible
