I hate reformatting my computer, but it must be done. Maybe this weekend. That is all.

Yeah that sucks. I mean I LIKE the end result and the noticeable speed improvements and less clutter......

...but the hassle. Bah. All the driver updates and crap can be frustrating. I don't envy you! Im excited my new mechanical keyboard is coming in today though!

Yeah. I'll tough it out. Which keyboard did you get?

Newegg had a good deal on a Razer Black Widow. Was less than $50 brand new and I needed a new and decent keyboard,

That the older model then? Good keyboard either way. Great price too.

You can do it!

Yeah, it isn't backlit, but neither was my older keyboard. I was mostly getting pissed that the old keyboard had a strip of small buttons down the left hand side, and the top one near the ESC and TAB buttons was a quick key to put the PC in hibernate mode. I looked everywhere on how to disable it and couldn't, and it was pissing me off when i'd hit it in the middle of an game lol. That and the keyboard was uncomfortable and dirty.

I like the new mechanical keyboard though. Definitely louder than the old one I had but I like typing on it.

Good luck on your format dude.

I almost got the Black Widow myself, but I went for something with a little quieter keys. Still mechanical, but it has the browns instead of blues. Finally got the reformat done. I'm sure I'll be installing things I forgot over the next few weeks, but for the most part it's great.

Word of advice, avoid Windows 8 right now for gaming. Still needs some bugs worked out.
