Purchased the Corsair K70 with blue switches after spilling coffee on my K60 the other day. This shyt going back, while I like the audible and tactile feedback they give out the lil extra force required to activate them fukking up my typing game. I can't fukking mash backspace like I use to:damn:

I need them reds back in my life. :noah:

Tomorrow, :youngsabo:

same here, especially after episode 3's ending
Speaking to Polygon, co-Game Director and Art Director Michel Koch compared the potential move to a television series like True Detective, which replaced its entire cast between its first and second seasons. "We can really go with other characters, other locations, but still keep the identity of the game, the themes of the game," he said.

that would be dope :whew:

My bad. Something to run my MCE/CCNA lab off of and some VM tinkering. Server stuff im going to build separately. Nothing that crazy :manny:

VM tinkering like vmware workstation a couple of vm's to do some things with...or VM tinkering like running vsphere inside of workstation so you can build a lab to study for say a VCP?

I have a K70 with reds. the only thing is I feel like I make a lot of typos with reds, because it's so easy to hit the wrong key. I love it for gaming though :ahh:

Word, I've gotten so use to the reds sensitivity that I found myself not pressing the blues hard enough. I had to force myself to type harder on them which slowed me down and fukked with my rhythm. The difference between them is a measly 5 grams for actuation too. :flabby:

The clickity clack sound they made was :ahh: though. I wish they offered a clickity clat 45g switch. :mjcry:

Man I'm content with my setup. I drove to Microcenter today thinking I'd cop a the LG 29inch 21:9 aspect ratio freesync monitor and when I got there I was like "meh". That shyt looks so small compared to my 39 inch 16:9 TV and I just couldn't do it . I then thought about upgrading my video card and didn't feel like it. I'm good.

Then you need to cop that I7 and something that supports a lot of ram...

Otherwise when you actually get to building esx host you going to have to make them so small resource wise as to not be able to support more than a VM or more...

And when you run virtualization inside of virtualization (vsphere inside of vmware workstation) you run into a lot of nested ram issues...

If you are talking about simulating a real corporate IT infrastructure you are going to need a minimum of 32GB of ram...

When I set up my lab to study for my VCP and VCAP I had...

2 AD servers
1 SQL server
1 Exchange server
2 Vsphere servers

All of that was in vmworkstation before I even started building ESX host and started building vm's inside of vsphere...which is inside of vmwareworkstation...

I5's were the top of the line cpu's then so I just put together two desktops that had I5's and supported 32 GB of ram a piece

After I built all the above in workstation I was able to build 6 or 7 esx host spread across two clusters...

Well I'm playing on a 1080P TV(39"). My rig is a I5-4690K stock speeds, 8GB DDR3 RAM and a 3GB R9 280. I couldn't see me going from a big ass 39"TV to a small ass 29inch UHD monitor. It looks way too small. I'm sure the resolution and aspect ratio being 21:9 would be really immersive, it'd probably make my console games look stupid.

You need to jump up to that 1440p or higher breh. The resolution difference is very noticeable :whew:

Might need a new gpu though, cuz of the vram and higher requirements

The problem is this:

Going from a 39inch to a comparable size is going to look so damn small. I would now have to sit close as hell to that stand.

Your pic isn't showing up for some reason. But I'm guessing you don't have a computer desk. Without one, I can see your problem. You gotta sit close to the monitors. I love my 3 1440ps. I could never go back to 1080p. I even like 1440p better than 3 monitors at 1080p each (3 1440p monitors is best, but the gpus still aren't up to 6k just yet in the demanding games. Plus, the nvidia titan x surround bug)
