Thumbs up Computer components

I got a new PC. (Thanks to Erick/elmmx5 for the suggestion and help). The tower is black, as is the keyboard. My mouse and monitor are off white...these things don't match and I think they should.

I need to purchase an adapter to make my old keyboard work, (cheap money), but I kind of like the "feel" of the new keyboard. So what should I do?

Go back to using the old keyboard, or lose sleep at night because my computer components don't match? I don't care about the tower as it it out of sight, but the other stuff is in plain view.

Please vote above....

how many folks will tell me I need meds? I'm kind of getting used to the mix/match thing and I actually haven't lost much sleep at all, just trying to keep my PPD's up.

I voted yes. You'll going to have to get a nice black framed widescreen and a new mouse now. It's a good excuse to upgrade

I just got anew PC this weekend. I'm using the new, matching keyboard because I'm looking find a new home for the ol;d one, even if it;\'s a charity donation. My mouse is a relatively old white trackball with a red ball. I find that a lot more comfortable and quicker to use by doing all the mouse movements with my thumb. Until I can find a wireless version of the mouse, I'll have that white and red corded mouse next to the keyboard.

Yep, and cookies that taste like dog biscuits aren't the answer to no medication.

I voted the medication one

Who cares what it looks like, it's how it performs. I guess the same can be said when looking for someone to take home from a bar.

Well there you have it.

The last guy I took home from a bar turned out to be a real keeper. Should I now settle for second best or good enough with my computer components?? Some things should look good AND perform well.
