Well, greetings, all.  My name is Sean, and I'm alcoholic.  Er, rather, but I usually go by Zzyzx.

I couldn't find either a sticky or an appropriate sub-forum for introductions, but if I'm blind and missed it, please let me know!

At any rate, I came across this site at Overclock.net, I believe.  I currently have a SteelSeries 7G and a Microsoft Trackball Explorer.  I probably could do better in the keyboard department, but the instant gratification of getting it at Fry's Electronics with my PC upgrade was too much temptation at the time.  I've had the trackball for ages, but I love it; I've yet to find anything I like better.

For those of you curious in the specs of that upgrade, I'm currently running an i7-920 at 4GHz with a Corsair H50 on a Gigabyte EX58-UD3R, 6GB of RAM, GTX 285, Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit (and a myriad of others under VM,) 1.5TB of space, a BFG 800W PSU, a Creative Audigy 2 ZS, and 7.1 surround sound.

Anyway, I don't know what else is interesting to you folks, but I thought I'd say hi!

Welcome to geekhack.

You're in Phoenix eh?

Perhaps a vist to my club is in order... to check out the...er... um... keyboards.  How far are you from Central Phoenix (McDowell Rd)?

Haha, I'm working on it, no doubt, especially once money starts flowing more steadily.

We already have someone in here named Xyzzy?

EDIT: Ah, never mind. I hadn't realized that Zzyzx was a real place (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zzyzx,_California).
