I did. Around here though that's what they stock.
I just wanted a back lit keyboard and the widow was the only one at that time, it kept starting to double type though, so after I had exchanged it a few times, I swapped models. only had the stalker for na few days, but I still don't like it very much.
but hush about my Viper! it's red!
(But you're right, it was cheap $102 delivered (between 250 and 300 everywhere else including eBay), but apart from not having USB3 (which I installed) it had the same specs as the only other red one available at that time. It's just a case.
besides, all that matters is that I like it, so there is no need to be rude about it, ok?

You tell 'em crikey!
Love that keyboard. Mine's a boring Microsoft wireless. HD 36" TV is my monitor, can toggle
between tv & computer. Put it up to 200% and everyone says "So just how bad is your eyesight?"
Viper away I say. My daughter says red ones go faster........or is that cars?

I don't have tv LOLOL
when I'm studying or working i crank up the two screens, just easier - I can have 4 screens - ran out of gaffer tape tho ROFL.
we got the screens for free, (5 of em) so really didn't have a choice of size.
and yes, red goes faster in everything!
when I was putting my list together for my "dream computer" *red* was the number one requirement!
this keyboard isn't wireless, but it lights up and I wanted it to do that. One benefot of the stalker is that the second function on the number keys and F keys lights up too, whereas on the widow, only the primary function did, so if I couldn't remember what key did what I got a bit stoofed!
solved that though, kid had a mouse that ws shaped like a car. the bonnet was the left and right click and the headlights worked, so I could just shine the high beam of the headlights onto the keys LOL.

I have had my laptop hard drive replaced under extended guarantee recently. It is nearly 3 yrs old.
techo said to me; hard drives usually live for about 3 years and was surprised mine lasted 6 years (desktop though)
i was interested how long the extended warranty was for and whether the $240 outlay is worth it coz hard drive replacements costs about that.
Signatures suck.

tell us about your set up?
mine (quad core) cost me a grand and the specs are big everything
I know... I just bought a pc for my son... great little gaming machine... on sale from a chain store but still top range..... $1200 for us.
mines not quite a gamer but i wanted something Quick! and i didnt want to spend more then a grand, a lesser machine wouldve been too slow for my liking.
I think the op is either gullible or boasting... not sure what yet..
possibly money bags
