Blacked out my keycaps on my old Dell to prepare for my blank keyboard I just ordered. It takes a bit of getting use to. I'll post some pictures of my other computers later.

Post by: dada on December 08, 2010, 01:53:52 am: I want one of those keyboards from http://pckeyboard.com/ (http://pckeyboard.com/). Probably the Customizer 104/105 (I need that extra key in between Ctrl and Alt since I use a Mac). Unfortunately that one doesn't come in white. What sort of keys does the Das Keyboard use? I see here it says "clicky tactile", is that the same as buckling spring?

edit: just went to youtube to check and it doesn't sound like one anyway.

Das Keyboard uses Cherry MX Blues. They are tactile and clicky like buckling springs but they definitely do not feel the same. Buckling springs are still the switch of choice for many typers because they click exactly when they actuate and after the tactile bump, they become more firm but don't bottom out, but the actuation force is about 40% less on the blues.

Someone on Overclock published a pretty in depth guide a while back on keyboard switches if you are interested.

I was thinking of the 2.000.000 key terminal emulator...

But I think I'll get the black Customizer 104 and then remove all buttons and spray paint them black :)

Post by: HybridZero on January 24, 2011, 08:16:28 pm: To answer some of the previous questions, I leave my PC on overnight for torrenting. There is a bandwidth limit on torrent transfers during the day that gets lifted at 2:00am-7:00am, so I leave my PC on for prime downloading time!
Title: Post Pictures of your Computer
Post by: ATARI on January 25, 2011, 08:55:02 am: I also tend to leave my laptop on for torrenting purposes, but also sometimes its just because i am too damn lazy to close it when I go to bed. Also sometimes I leave it on to play through a short playlist of music to help me fall asleep. it doesn't really follow a pattern, more just dependant on what exactly I feel like doing before I go to bed.

Because surely at least one of these nerds wants to play WoW on one screen while reading WoW forums on the other -.- (is WoW even the go-to game nowadays??? Should I be making fun of like League of Legends or something more???)

I would probably have dual screens by now if I didn't have a laptop. With both on the same desk I don't really have a reason for dual screens.

I kind of gave up on using a laptop and got a small (ish) tower.
(http://i56.tinypic.com/wthmch.jpg)
Intel core i5 2.8Ghz quad core (up from a 1.66Ghz Core 2 Duo).
6GiB DDR3 RAM (up from 2GiB DDR2 RAM).
1TiB HDD (up from 250GiB).
More card readers than I'll ever use ._.
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit (I used to use Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit).
Nvidia GeForce GT 420 1GiB (up from a GeForce FX something mobile chip with 128MiB of dedicated and 128MiB of shared RAM).. Not brilliant, I know, but I'll upgrade it I start playing newer PC games.
It would have the same problem as HybridZero's, as although the light on the button is smaller, it has a glowing logo on the front and nice looking glowing lines that fade off towards the back and bottom of the case, but thankfully, they thought of putting a button on the top to turn the lighting off.
I keep my camera and iPhone (3G :[ ) ][/ )]http://i55.tinypic.com/ng6glz.jpg[/img]
The 32in widescreen HDTV I'm using as a monitor at the moment.
Also home to my Wii, 360S and a crappy Sony P90 or whatever that I use as an alarm clock because it's horrible resistive screen hardly works, meaning that by the time I get it to shut up, I'm usually wide awake.
Just out of shot is my old 360, which sadly died not long after the 360S came out, but which was always on it's last legs (fixed 3 times).
