    Computer Shuts down

    Well, I would suggest checking the inside of your computer for excess dust. My computer had the same problem as yours, and it was completely dust related (never going to let a computer illiterate friend borrow my computer again... came back with all kinds of grime all over it! Even my mouse had...

    Keyboard with laptop-like keys?

    Two more for your consideration: Enermax Aurora (Aurora Silver) $50 They also have them in black, if you want. I have the Aurora, GREAT keyboard. Comes with 2 USB 1.1 ports (can't use them for flash drives, mainly for something less "power hungry" like mouse or gamepad). Casing is made out...

    Any good slim keyboards??

    Hmmm... tell you the truth, I don't think the Aurora was built as a gaming keyboard. I think it's built on the standard keyboard matrix. I dunno how to test for key rollover. I tried the A and W combination, as well as other combinations. The "Q" wasn't recognized =\ Oh well, I think as a...

    Any good slim keyboards??

    Welp, got the Enermax Aurora in the mail today. WOW. A very nice keyboard. Typing feels good on this thing, and I can barely hear the keys. I tried using the audio ports that came with it, but my speakers started emitting this weird sound, so I ended up going back to the computer ports. Oh well...

    keyboard replacement or not

    DigitalWanksta makes a good point, but I know with some people it can be a bit irksome to have a keyboard missing some of its letters. It just all depends on you. If you don't look at your keyboard while you type, then I don't think the replacement is necessary, but if you're like one of the...

    Any good slim keyboards??

    I don't know about that particular keyboard, but many people have said those foldables are a bit hard to type on. Ease of typing is essential to me, more than the peace of mind in having an "indestructable" keyboard. =/

    Gamestop, EB, Target and Circuit City to have Nintendo Wii for 4-29-07

    You KNOW they will. Hell, they're probably going to release it in hot pink, eventually. Nintendo is crazy with the colors like that.

    Enermax Aurora Silver Keyboard - $35 and retail $50-70

    Hey, what aluminum keyboards do you guys know of that have aluminum keys? Asking this out of pure curiosity, since I don't know of any aluminum keyboards outside of the Hiper Clavier, Enermax Aurora, and a Thermaltake one... and I believe they all have plastic keys.

    Amazing crysis hi-res pic

    So... what's that running on, exactly? 8800GTX SLi? Does anyone know what kind of setup you would need to run the game at that level of graphics (maybe lower res, though) and still get playable framerates?

    so does anyone know for SURE when r600 is gona be here?

    Well, I wouldn't fault the Inq too much on that. Didn't AMD/ATI set the release date for end of 2006, but end up pushing it back a few months?

    Any good slim keyboards??

    Yeah, thanks. I actually found out about that yesterday night. Ordered it this morning =P Decided to pick up the Enermax, because it uses scissor-switch technology for its keys... the same kind used in labtops. The Hiper uses the standard rubber domes...
