Also check out umart, its where I get most of my stuff and they tend to be cheaper then scorptech. But I have no idea how thier postage service is as Iv only ever gone into thier warehouse to pick up stuff but you might be lucky and live close enough by to one of thier stores. Scorptech also do great postage in my experiance.

Thanks for the suggestions. The Rosewill case I cant get as my retailer doesn't stock their stuff. But it looked nice, it was a simple sleek design. The Level 10 GTS looked promising, but those HDD bays would annoy the hell out of me, shame too cause my retailers got the white limited edition ones available for $99. But if I'm going to keep a case for as long as possible I don't want to be looking at it thinking something looks annoying. As for the Coolermaster one, It looked good, but I'm noticing a lot of reviews saying the plastic is quite cheap, which if that's the case I would just pick up the original Thermaltake one I was thinking about because that was the only thing i was worrying about that. But with all that being said I'm starting to swing towards the Corsair 660T. It seems like a super popular case, looks good and doesn't appear to have a lot of definite negatives. The only problem is its pretty expensive, but if its good and will last and i wont get sick of looking at it I suppose its worth the extra.

 Iv currently got the original Thermaltake Soprano, which iv had for well over 7 years, and while its done good, its needed slight modifications over that time to be able to find newer hardware into it. So I was looking to get a new case before I go out and start buying other parts for a new system. Where I keep my computer is about 515x260x500 (HxWxD), but i should be able to deal with a slighlty higher Depth if needed. Iv found 2 cases which im pretty keen on but cant decide which would be best. 

 

Thermaltake Chaser A31 Mid Tower Black - Was my original thought but I have since found alot of reviews with people saying its cheaply made. Part apparently just fall off stright out of the box if your unlucky. But Its the right size i was looking for and is only $90 from my retailers. 

 

Corsair Graphite 600T White - Was something I looked at then I first started looking, and While i love the look of the case, and going by reviews is a decent build qulity, its $200. Its also alittle bit bigger then Id like, but should still just fix into where Im planning on having it.

 

So the 600T seems like the better choice, but I dont know if its worth the extra cost. I plan on keeping the case for at least as long as I had kept my current one, so at least 7 years. So something thats a decent quility and will hopfully fit all future parts into is kinda important. Does anyone have any experiance with either of these? Or know of any major issues.

To be honest I cant stand origin for another reason other then having to use a different site or program to run my games. The thing that bugs me the most are the prices are so different from region to region, I see people talking about great deals or origin during those sale months, and when I jump on to hopefully pick up something cheap, their sale is non existent or its so small it may as well be a sale. Hell even without sales their games are expansive, I can pick up a copy of The Sims 3 retail from EB Games, for half the price they are charging online. If they make me feel like Im not missing out or paying more by using their client over steam, then I'll begin to use it.

Was wondering how long till a thread about this popped up, was too lazy to make one myself. But i got the game 3 days ago and have been playing constantly since. Its alot of fun, but still needs alot of bugs fixed with it. The Controller only support at the moment is kinda lame but they are working with the community on what the best interface for mouse and keyboard should be. If you've got a 360 controller though it works fine, if you can manage to put up with having to aim with a joystick. They need to work on putting in some better visual options, the games pretty but by PC standards its very lacking. The missing multiplayer kinda sucks too, but they haven't ruled it out completely yet and it still might get it. Would be so much fun playing with afew friends, scavenging and building a safe base for NPC survivors. Hell having an option for friends to have separate bases would be an awesome thing too, so you could do trade runs between each other sharing supplies. Games got a heap of potential, and seems like a good direction for sandbox zombie games. Hoping to see more games like this with more features and improvements in the future if they cant add to this one.

So I went back to the store I purchased the board from explained the situation again to a different guy this time, and managed to get a replacment, but not of the same board, I droped an extra $20 and picked up the g710+. Hopfully it will perform better then the g510 did.

Yeah, im 100% certain this isnt how a keyboard should be, ecpecially one that costs up to $160 retail. Iv never experianced a problem like this before with keys needing to be pressed harder then what it takes for it to "drop". Im still yet to hear back from logitech on the problem and will give them afew days to reply, but if they dont or they do but tell me their is nothing that can be done, I dont know whether there are any laws which would entitle me to a refund because clearly this product does not work as intended. I guess all I can say is either steer clear of this model or do abit abit of research (not that you'll find anything about this problem anywhere, because I sure cant) before purchasing it. 

As for the heating up, I cant even think what would be producing enough heat in in this thing to make it do it, and Iv only just noticed that its happening on both sides of the keyboard, under the left CTRL/windows key and under the arrows keys on the right. There's nothing even near those spots that I can tell would produce heat. Id have assumed if anywhere would be hot it would be closer the the screen up top. Seems very odd, but abit of heat doesnt bother me as much as not being able to play games with this thing.

seems i might be out of luck, took the keyboard back to the retailer i bought it from. explained the issues, then he went and plugged it into some display laptops they had to test it out. Everything worked fine according to him, and told me i was simply not pressing hard enough on the keys. As for the thing heating up, it takes about an hour before you can feel the heat coming off it so there was no way to show him that either. feels like iv just been robbed of $150. Iv posted directly to logitech on their forums, and am yet to see a reply. Other then hopefully getting some info/suggestions from logitech directly (if they even reply to me) I dont know what else I can do.

I got this keyboard about 2 weeks ago and only just got around to playing a game with it and have noticed that the keys dont seems to work unless Im pushing quite hard on them. Like i'll be running in a game using the W key, its pushed down then all of a sudden i'll stop running because I took off a slight amount of pressure. Also the space bar is a pain with the same issue, when i go to jump unless I really give it a good tap it will not register it being pushed. Iv tried looking all over the net to see if anyone else has experianced this problem but cant find anything, so Im hopping someone here with the same board may know something. Im quite disapointed with it really. The keyboard itself is great, but I shouldnt be having a harder time playing game with it then I was with my old $20 board all because I dont bash my keys hard or put huge amounts of weight on them. Being only afew weeks sice i got it Im planning on taking it back for a refund, or a replacment if I can find out if its just faulty.

Also an unrelated issue, does anyone who owned one of these know if they are meant to heat up on the bottom left, near the windows/ctrl keys?

Anyone know if the G700S is any good? It looks similar to the Performance MX mouse which i loved.
