Currently running an R9 380X. Which is... cool and all, but still a bit slow on Linux - and probably also a bit slow for Star Citizen.

I am quite interested in that Excalibur v2 keyboard! Back in the days I was evaluating peripherals for the impact they might have on my experience as a user, I concluded that a mechanical keyboard was not quite worth the expense but, if I were to get one, I would favor a full-size keyboard with Cherry MX Brown switches. I do not like noisy keyboards, but feedback on key activation is important! Now, as an Auditor, I spend all day on a ten-key with mechanical switches; and it really does make a difference! Not needing to mash the key for activation, and having that tactile feedback to whether the key has been activated, is a wonder for my accuracy when I'm going fast. By touch alone, never looking at what I've entered, I know if I've made a mistake.

Since my second desktop build in a Sonata II case, I have looked to Antec for my chassis needs whenever planning a new rig. For the physical aspects of my machines, I appreciate simple and effective - a heavy case, durable and able to contain the noise of fans, with an intelligent arrangement of fan mounts and vents; Antec has always offered me these at a very agreeable price point. The Antec 1100 V2 appears to hold to these expectations brilliantly.
