SRT works automatically, so don't worry about it. Once you set the cache, nothing is 'wasted'

So I bought a Logitech K400 wireless keyboard/touch pad, since my wireless mouse died, and it can put my laptop to sleep and wake it up as well!

Didn't say it was good or bad, just that it's the top linksys model. ;-) too soon to buy ac routers imo.

It is, just wait for the tech to mature a bit. I'm still worried about the 5GHz signal ranges, they degrade quite a bit through walls/distance.

The RT-N56u's definitely a great router to go with, given that you can bear with it not having any 3rd party firmware, and the fact that it runs hot even with proper positioning.

its a great router, love the ui, looks, havent had to reset it once a week but the 5ghz signal is weak; i've got the router in my office and upstairs +1 room over in the kitchen the 5ghz is weak and drops

id try the n66u instead

While I have no experience with these speakers, I highly suspect that you could get better sound for roughly the same amount of money if you spend it on a pair of good headphones + entry level amp. Of course, headphones and a 5.1 speaker system aren't even remotely similar, but if your goal is to get some better sound, I think the headphone+amp route should at least deserve some consideration.

Damn, I missed that?

Also, am I nuts for wanting a HP Envy 14 Spectre? I know it's hardware is one generation old but it still one of the best looking laptops out there.
