I'm not much of a gamer, so going the Corsair route seems a bit excessive, but it looks as though I'd actually save money getting a much better quality rig, and I treat my work laptop like a desktop anyway, pretty much never using it on the go or unplugging the monitor. For average usage, I run roughly a 200 tabs at once (but less now thanks to my discovery of OneTab!), a load of word docs, apps, and Scrivener, as well as various eBook software, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Premier when needed.
I'm taking advantage of a very limited deal with Corsair through my Eastern European University where I get everything for sale only on Corsair's EU website at a very large discount. So instead of getting a heavy duty workstation laptop like I'd planned, I'm going to get a small Corsair desktop build (or more likely just the components, since there are no full systems for small builds on the EU sites other than refurbs, as far as I can see).
Since I move every 6 months or so I'd like the smallest, most lightweight build that can fit into a suitcase ideally--micro, mini, the smallest of the towers. Quiet is good, lots of RAM is awesome, GPU is where I can skimp. For a non-gamer is it worth getting a Corsair keyboard? I wanted to get a get a mechanical keyboard, but I don't like the gaming joystick thing on the Corsair builds I've seen. Headphones for conversations even are important, is it worth getting a Corsair headset even if I'm going to also pick up a pair of Bose QC 35s or Sennheiser Momentums.
Any advice is appreciated! Here's the Corsair EU site. Note how few products are actually available--they mostly try to link you to other retailers.
Any advice is appreciated!
