What are you using the system for? I ask because everything but the GPU seems to be top-notch.

I really like how the CPU and GPU coolers match, though. Nice touch.

if you look at the rest of his specs it's probably the 460 that's holding it back

I wouldn't call it old, but I would call it average or even a bit slow compared to rest of his specs.

With 460 you definately have to sacrifice some image quality settings at full hd res.

I was torn between a G15 and a G110, but I already have a second screen for temps and TS, so that screen would be useless so I went for the G110, the only problem is the USB hub on it says it doesn't have enough power for my USB.

Nice keyboard but too small for my hands...

Try the keyboard in one of your rear USB ports otherwise you can try to plug it into a powered hub to get the hub on the keyboard to work.

More awesome customizing from the wattup household (and shitty iphone pics of course)

Put this film on my Logitech K800 keyboard... its called 3M Di-Noc film. Its a film with carbon fibre look and feel; unlike other carbon fibre looking films, this one has the weave texture, rather than the texture printed on, giving realistic reflections and a similar feel to raw, uncoated carbon fibre.

Sorry for the terrible quality, it looks soooooo much nicer in real life.







Its a seriously thin keyboard, light too. I think carbon fibre suits it...




And a photo taken by a non-retarded person of the original:



Finally, heres a good video about the film:

Guys, I do fully realise that that system is slightly out of balance. I only referred to the user's use of the term "old", which is a different matter than a badly balanced configuration.
