The Build Saga: Part Fourteen

Oh video card, where art thou?! I've got my new PC pieced together. I've got Windows on the SSD. I've started installing certain games to the other SSD. I've got Steam setup. I just need one... final... piece. The video card. I ordered it quite a while ago. It packed up and was out the door quickly, but then got stalled. After sitting for almost two weeks (8 business days) I decided to shoot an email out and see what the hold up was. Well, turns out they gave me a shitty tracking number. Not that it wasn't sitting there, but it was one of those hand-off deals and one of the carriers just hadn't updated correctly. It was still sitting in the same shithole, just with incorrect info. That info made the tracking looking scarier than it needed to. It was corrected and has now, amazingly, nearly landed at my door. I really look forward to getting this beast in. I plan to go and check out monitors OR do some interweb shopping for them here very soon. Woo! I am going to have to buy a new keyboard. It is official. My Thermaltake MEKA G1 is dead. I thought I had already killed it, but I fired it up and it worked to my shock and surprise. I got a few more months out of it, but I am now on a garbaged-out, beaten and used Logitech domed key keyboard. =X I want to make a switch to Browns, I think. I really liked black, but having to bang on my keyboard to get something out of it kind of sucked. I haven't looked at Thermaltake's latest offering, but I think I am going to look around this time. That worst part? I was just telling someone at work how fucking awesome the MEKA G1 was. It was the best keyboard I've ever had, for sure. I've got a couple of fans and a media drive to pick up, but nothing major. I should have the majority of the rig setup very soon. I should have my "battlestation" updated with new monitors and a proper keyboard in the near future. It's hard to motivate yourself to spend 100+ dollars on a keyboard when you are gonna get MAYBE 8 hours a week to even use it. I'll wait until I've got some days off before I go down that road. I can't wait to get my new monitors and get them setup. I will be handing my old monitor over to my wife. She has an old school 17 inch CRT display that will land in a closet or a dumpster. She will probably be happy with this nice, big 23 inch Samsung beast that I've got now. I really wanna setup my desk with a multi-monitor mount and do this right! Pretty stoked about it.
