Anyone have a Logitech G110? What do you think about it?
I have a G11, but it's slowly breaking down.

[h1]Windows Start Button Gone Forever, Replaced By Tutorial[/h1]
Despite complaints stemming from the Consumer Preview, the Start Button will not be officially added to Windows 8.
The Seattle Times reports that the beloved Start Button we've grown accustomed to pressing each and every day won't end up in the final version of Windows 8 despite complaints. Instead, Windows 7 will be its last, official home.
The news arrives by way of investment banking firm Nomura, which hosted meetings this week for investors with Tami Reller, the head of marketing and CFO of the Windows and Windows Live Division at Microsoft. The meetings talked about what's coming up for the next version of Microsoft's operating system.
According to Nomura, Reller addressed concerns that end users have raised about the Windows 8 Consumer Preview. Although the new version -- which offers a complete revamp of the UI since the release of Windows 95 -- is seemingly well suited for touch-based devices, it's reportedly a headache for the desktop user accustomed to accessing the computer's installed programs through the Start Menu.
As it stands now, Windows 8 doesn't feature a Start Button, but rather depends on hot corners for essential functionality. Without any instructions whatsoever, desktop users must figure out how to navigate through the new Metro UI and access the Metro commands to get back to the Start screen. The Seattle Times calls this method "unintuitive and clunky."
Unfortunately, Reller confirmed that Microsoft has officially killed off the Start Button for good. Instead, the discoverability problem will be addressed through a tutorial "to show keyboard/mouse users the new commands that they need to orient themselves with in the new OS so they are not lost when they first encounter the product."
Isn't that nice?
Reller also assured investors that Office 15 will feel unaltered in Windows 8's desktop mode when using Office even though the new suite has been Metro-ized.
RIP, Start Button. We loved you. Honest.

On the bright side, Windows 7 has extended support until 2020

no MS Start button.
Trying too much to be like a Mac.
Anyway, good grief... my EVGA GTX 680 is still somewhere on a cargo plane in China. Hopefully it comes into the Philippines by tomorrow. Only problem would be is me going out of town for the rest of the week until Monday (Holy Week). Got to pick it up on Monday since on Tuesday I'll then be reluctantly dragged off to Singapore for 3 days. And to think I got the card on release day.

^ those are a lot of hard drives... and at these current prices....
It ain't all that bad over here.
Just got unlucky with the timing this time around. Guess I shouldn't have paid $20 extra for FedEx to overnight it to my mail forwarder. Well, my package just cleared Customs yesterday and will be available for pick up on Saturday. Still won't pick it up til I get back on Monday. Still good, though... saved $100 than getting one locally an EVGA won't be here for another three months at the very least.

I'm starting to think HDD prices will never go down. SSDs are going to drop before HDDs

^ if you decide to go for a mechanical keyboard and use it to type quite a bit, i'd suggest you go for the ones with the Cherry Mx Red switches. Not that firm; not noisy, either. Keyboards that i've seen that come with these (that you don't have to build your own) are the CM Storm QuickFire Rapid and the Corsair K60/K90.
Using Mx Blacks myself... They're a little stiff at first, but I'm not really typing essays on my rig, so I'm fine with them.
CWrite would be more of help to you, though.
And I agree with getting the latest GPU that you can afford. Easier to sell off in time for the next upgrade cycle.
