Set up of the gods?

[Skuggomann]

I have some tips for you:

*werry important*             Get an extra fridge! and place it neer your PC setupp                       *werry important*


Get MORE RAM! (Nom Nom Nom) go for 2x (2x 1GB sli 1000Hz) = So 4gb or 8gb if you feel like it :)
Get 4x 100gb sata Raptor drives (10'000RPM)
            -1TB is overkill
            -if you need storige space, just buy a seperate Pc:
                        -Huge ass tower
                        -4x 1TB drives or 8x500GB (i think you can set it so it looks like its one big 4TB drive)
                        -normal monitor
                        -KTM swich form that PC to your main monitors MB setupp

And finally for monitors id go for 1x 22" and 2x 30":

Lol so glad you edited that... I nearly went blind from your interesting use of spelling and the diagram.

That is the exact set up that I mentioned at first, although some concerns were raised over screen fits? What are your thoughts?

[aetherg]

No, it isn't about the software timing; the complaints most of the reviews had was that the keys are physically annoying to use; they're too bulky and don't rebound well when pressed.

Wow that's horrible... there's just no excuse for that at all! Although.. they do have screens in them. I wonder if you could hack them out and install stronger springs? Would be a fairly simple job.

I definitely wouldn't get that $13k keyboard, one coffee spill and say goodbye. I spill shit all over keyboard all the time (thanks porn).

Ok just kidding, but every keyboard I've ever own has seen some sort of spill. Most make it through fine, but that one....I kinda doubt it.

I would also build a dual xeon setup if I were you. You can build two quad cores for the price of one qx6600. I forgot the exact mobo's and procs, but it's on newegg.com. Only thing is you need a special case for the motherboard.

I see lots of people suggesting Raptors. You do know that the newest and biggest HDDs(1TB) with the densest platters surprass them in pretty much every case, do you?

Jim Tal,

From my experiance, if you have the money you should go for an all hardware setup. Performance is unbeatable, and also a little foward rules friendly (hardware is less likely to ever get banned compared to software).

For monitors, I really like my 30" apple display, its much better quality then the dell, and has a really performant backlight.
For off monitors, I wouldn't recommend anyhting over 19", otherwise they are very hard to glance to. (just too wide for your paripheal vision).
For the main computer, I would recommend a quad core, ddr3 - 4gb, and a 9th generationg nvidia card.

For the off comptuers, dual cores is plenty sufficient with an 8 series nvidia card (to get 100fps).

For input, the maximus is a complete waste imo. Half the keys are gonna stay the same forever (every alphabet key). It looks pretty, but quite useless imo.
The little ones are REALLY expensive for 3 keys. like seriously.

Get a programable keyboard or two (xkeys are nice), some vetras, and a industrial KVM, and you'll be set. Put it all niceley setup, nice cables with top of the line equipment? I'll say its pretty fucking pro

I've had so much trouble with big cheap HDs failing, whereas I've run my last 2 computers off 2x Raptors in RAID0 and had zero trouble with them. I <3 Raptors.

(I'm sure my comp will now be dead when I get home... :P)

The Apple, HP and Dell 30" all use the same panel. I can't say they use the same backlight though. Samsung uses their own panels.

In terms of seek time, they are great.
