    Heat management: Water Cooling in an Apartment?

    A stable landlord is a wonderful thing. Ours is trying to raise the rent every year, 10%. Sounds like you have a nice place. It's been cold down here, in San Diego, it's mid June, and it's constantly overcast, 55-75. Wind is cool. Just open the windows. About a mile from the beach. Down side is...

    CODMW4 is my favorite. Ordered Oregon Trail 5th addition. I'll be lucky if it runs on 11. Looking at GOG for the Tex Murphy stuff. Like games I can run on my rig, without going on line.

    By the way, the Corsair with Cherry reds, and the donuts are growing on me. I also love my Model M, but, some of the switches feel like they need lube, and they could be slightly quieter. What would you suggest.?

    Thanks. I noticed the 7900 had a higher clock speed at idle, and considering I'm highly unlikely to really push it, DD's suggestion was right on, as usual. Reviews on the NH D-15 have been really high, higher then anything I've ever looked at with a reasonable review size. I am going to be...

    Suspected as much. I'm just using it as a backup. Just put donuts on the Corsair Strafe, and it actually works to quite the keys down a LOT! The Cherry Reds are now nearly silent. Feels a little mushy, but liveable.

    It cuts a tremendous amount of mouse options out. I needed a CTS friendly mouse. NOT many options. Have to reprogam all games unless you just want to move your keyboard over, and you have room.

    Plan B is to take the dampeners and put them on the Corsairs Cherry Red silents (which aren't) and see what that does. Needed a puller first, to take the caps/keys off. Finally getting everything I need for that project.

    My only gripe about Unicomp is the plastic keyboard cover, with shipping, is still 42 dollars here. Heck, thats 30% or more, of the cost of the keyboard, and, generally, they suck, typing wise.
