Do you talk to your mother with that mouth?


No mention of Carpalx?

If you're going to learn a new keyboard layout, why not make it the best?


I'm in the process of learning Colemak now. I'd love to use QGMLWB, but I liked that I was able to use Colemak on my Macbook, Windows box and Android devices without having to install anything extra. I figured that the few extra efficiency points I lost by sticking with Colemak would be offset by its comparatively broad availability.


I did mention Carpalx, but not your exact link in another comment.


Really? LogicalIncrements says that kind of money only gets you Intel HD 4000 power with no peripherals. How is that in any way a gaming PC?


Skimp on CPU, buy AMD and budget mobo, go to eBay for GPU.


Even a modest motherboards costing $50 minimum. A cheap GPU could run less than $50 if you're lucky. A CPU's gonna be at least $100. A power supply could go for $20. A case $20. A hard drive $40. You're already over $250 and this PC won't come close to matching the graphics performance in games of an Xbox or PS3. I'm a PC gamer who uses a $1000 gaming PC and a $1500 gaming laptop, but I understand why people buy and will continue to buy consoles. It's a no brainer.


At which point your PC costs $250 only if your time is worthless.


If you need a $250 PC, your time probably is worth less. If you're buying $60 console games instead of $5-$30 PC games, I hope you're saving a lot of highly valuable time.

Why would you want to waste your time with a retail PC anyway, loaded down with time-wasting adware and free trials?
