A system this nice with only a mediocre Logitech keyboard? Tsk. What's wrong with Logitech keyboards? I've always found them to be relatively high quality. I picked up the MX3200 kwyboard and mouse combo the other day and it's fantastic. Great feel to the keys, good wrist support, and Logitech mice...

An IBM, but that may be just me. They don't typically appeal to the gaming crowd, but damn they make awesome work keyboards.
Why are they better?

A link to that wallpaper would be nice.
I made it myself, because nobody makes 4950 x 1600 wallpapers... What resolution do you need it to be?

oh sweet. it'll be good to see how barcelona and penryn compare. Yep, I'm waiting with baited breath. just constantly looking at that rig makes me think spagetti dinner. even just one SCSI chain is a nightmare [i've never managed to get it to work myself though]. SCSI ain't so bad... You just have ...

It looks like a pretty hot system. Certainly a very working space. 8) Internally, it's clear that so many drives makes cable management difficult; you might get slightly better airflow/cooling with tidier cables.
