Could you post the names of the computer components you're thinking of getting, so we don't have to click on like 12 different links to see? :)

Also, if you (or a family member) has a .edu e-mail address, you can get Windows 7 Pro for only $65, here: http://www.microsoft.com/student/e [...] fault.aspx

That's a great deal on that RAM...but these 1155 mobo's tend to like lower voltage RAM....like 1.5v.

I don't play WOW so I don't really no ze best and stuff but I can say that the lycosa seems to have a lot of problems it would be a better idea to go with a more reliable logitech.

G11? I don't know I don't play WoW but if it is anything like SC2 with a lot of quick keys (crazy asian SC2 players) then the Logitech G15's or whatever would be fine. Pretty cheap now a days.

Reply to aznshinobi
Atotalnoob   01-20-2011 at 05:21:08 AM

yeah... I read some of the reviews, and it seems that way for msot of the Razer stuff... lol

G15 keyboard is like 100....

yeah the g15 can be had on ebay for real cheap, 50 bucks I personally am not averse to ebay but if you're the link shinobs posted is a good alternative.

Then pick up a decent mouse if you mix and match the naga looks nice http://www.amazon.com/Razer-Naga-L [...] 804&sr=8-1 kinda pricey ($75) but you have to have a fancy mouse to match the fancy keyboard :D

As long as you don't get a DOA it's fine and since this guys got 100% feedback and it's a keyboard he's tested I wouldn't be scared.
