    I took the plunge after a few days of research, and I have bought this...

    I was going to go for Dual GTX 675's, but it turns out that they are rebranded GTX 580's still on the 40nm die.
    A single 7970M is as fast as dual GTX 580m's. So I had to order 2x 7970m's for maximum graphic performance.:D

    I will be buying 3x 256GB M4's as it is £1k cheaper than using Dells SSD.

    BTW, I'm now broke for the first time...:(

    This 104 lime/mint green keyset. PBT engraved, the seller made me an offer, I wanted PBT, mint is a cool color and engraved keys are boss.

    Not terribly good but neither too bad... I'm starting to think now that Sherrys are not my thing after I've tried few bottles. Gotta go back to whiskey or just pure spirits :D

    Suck it mechanical keyboard nerds.

    Cost me £10 and I don't make any more mistakes. Just can't type on keyboards with risen keys, but still got my G11 for gaming which is still better for gaming than any other mechanical keyboards (with the exception of the corsair K90).

    Oh but it is, I have macro keys, I have instant media buttons, a dedicated volume control, I have lights and a switch which turns off the windows key. Most mechanical keyboards have none of the above, which are all features I use all the time, and it cost me £30 3-4 years ago.

    Exactly, so in your opinion it's superior.

    I don't use macro buttons, nor media keys, nor am I bothered about backlighting :) (I came from a G110, so happy I changed)

    If it works for you then that's fine, doesn't mean that it is a better keyboard for gaming though.

    Question, do mechanical keyboards have the thing where you can press more than one key at the same time, like a proper gaming keyboard?

    Yes, the mechanical purely refers to the key, the innards of the keyboard beyond the key are decent quality but a fairly standard configuration.
