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?


Some people can go their whole lives and never really live for a single minute.

here's the specs from Belarc when I set it up, so this is a few months old.

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.

 

all held together wit ticky-tacky duct tape.  lol.

 

btw, ever 'eard of cable ties.

LOL, you must be easily pleased if you think less than $2000 buys you a great computer!

 

 

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
