well, I'll have a bit of spare money coming up soon, and I want to know whether I should go for a new case, or a new keyboard/mouse. The keyboard and mouse I currently own suit me fine, however, they are still crappy.I don't suffer from RSI, so that doesn't bother me, I could happily live with this combo for a few more months. The case I have at the moment is pretty good, however, cooling and size are of concern to me at the moment. Becuase of the large size of this case, alot of cables can't actually reach the motherboard, so, I would like a new case as well. The planned purchases would be either a Logitech Desktop MX series, or a Thermaltake Tsunami case.
I'd go for keyboard over case. It's what you're using every time you interact with the computer, so it pays to have a good one
maybe save the cash for something that would make a bigger difference to your system like a cpu, ram or graphics card? edit: and for the love of god not a thermaltake case
My CPU, RAM and Graphics card are all great. Do you have any other suggestions for a case? Also, might get a new PSU..
Well, case preference is largely down to looks. I just think thermaltake cases are a bit garish (I believe im not alone here) Ive used quite a few antec cases in systems ive built for others, theyre decent cases that come with a good psu and are cheap enough all depends on the budget though personally, id go for a psu over a keyboard or a case, queue list of decent PSUs: antec, tagan, zippy, enermax, hiper, PCPnC, OCZ, seasonic and probably a few i've left out
lian-li is lovely and all, but im guessing that if the choice was a tsunami or a new keyboard/mouse, a lian-li wont fit in budget
I'd go for either the keyboard or the psu and please don't get a Thermaltake, I have one and I regret getting it I am about to purchase a Lian Li PC-7B and about the keyboard yours should be fine for awhile, keyboards generally last for a long time
I have a Thermaltake Tsunami, and it's an awesome case, one of my best ever purchases, if you choose to go with the case you won't be dissapointed, although the fans that it comes with are rather noisy, so you may want replacements.
