    My vision is fine. I used to wear glasses several years ago, but back then my vision was just bad enough to cause bad headaches. It's fine now.

    Just be glad you don't live off that exit lol.
    They have traffic so messed up with the construction. They're putting red lights down there if you didn't know.
    I'm also not looking forward to having three lights between my house and the Weigels right there next to the exit. :|
    If those apartments on emory church road get approved, they're gonna put a red light in where it meets Westland right there beside the power station to handle all the extra traffic.
    Too many people out here already. I don't want any more.

    It is kinda strange how 140 ends.
    It just ends, and you have cones and shit forcing you to exit. And there you are in the middle of nowhere. Actually it doesn't look as much like nowhere as it used to. Now there are industrial parks and stuff right there, so they've redone the intersection. Looks more like civilization. It used to just dump you out onto a random 2 lane highway lol.
    And this exit has needed red lights for a while, actually. It backs up so bad during rush hour(s). I hope they just leave them on during the busy times of the day, and have them flashing yellow or something the rest of the time, because there's not enough traffic coming off the ramps to need them.
    But its worse than ever right now. They have all the ramps down to one lane. I've seen it backed up onto the interstate a few times.
    The redlight at emory church and westland would be dumb, though.

    Can get USB ones for 10 bucks. They aren't amazing, but they work.

    headers != ports

    headers are where you plug in the computer case front panels and things like that


    not to mention that your keyboard and mouse can easily plug into usb 2.0 (as can a usb wifi-adapter)

    No... It has a USB 2.0 front panel header, that alone is 2 ports. I has a USB 3.0 front panel header, that alone is 2 ports. It then has 4 USB 2.0 ports on the rear and 2 USB 3.0.

    http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/B85M-ITX/?cat=Specifications

    All in all you have 10 USB ports. Why you've gone for a mini itx rig I don't know though. They cost more. You will 100% require an aftermarket fan on that Intel CPU in a prodigy. Intel cooler just plain doesn't work inside one.

    There are no USB 3.0 keyboards on market. There are very few that are even true USB 2.0, most are 1.1 still. A few gaming models are the exception.

    ...

    literally ALL keyboards currently available to purchase support usb 2.0 (heck even the corsair k70 RGB which is a usb 3.0 keyboard will still work on usb 2.0)

    first I've heard of any keyboard using 3.0 when many prefer PS/2 for keyboard usage.

    USB spec dictates each device must be backward compatible to older spec versions, ie a 3.0 device can still connect to a 1.0 host and vice versa.

    i believe it's because of the shear amount of power the k70 rgb uses for the RGB lighting that they made it 3.0 (however to make it work on 2.0 and below, they had to replace the usb pass-through cable with an extra cable just for more power, since usb 2.0 and below don't transfer as much power as 3.0 does (so when using usb 3.0 you only need the main cable, when 2.0 and below you need both cables plugged in))

    That board is crap, go ASUS.
    Also get an aftermarket cooler, as 6677 said Intel's stock cooler is terrible enough in a mid tower atx case.

    That was probably the most accurate description of our country I have ever heard.

    My Dell l502X has finally died, need to find a new laptop now.

    I would like something as or more powerful, that is under £600. Would also like something a bit more slim and portable.
    The specs of my old one are an i5 2450m, 6GB RAM and a GT 525M.

    Any suggestions?
