i see a cm quickfire tk mechanical keyboard :D

 

Just got it a few weeks ago, still trying to adjust to it. I may need to sell it for a little bit bigger keyboard. I really like how tactile it is, just a little to small for me as I keep hitting multiple keys at the same time while typing.

a quickfire pro or any full-size mechanical keyboard should fit you, I wouldn't recommend the tk because of the fact that you have to press the num lock when using either arrow keys or punching in numbers

Getting myself a desktop for Christmas, most of the hardware turned up today, just waiting for the CPU to turn up on Wednesday. I couldn't wait though, so put everything else together. (Lighting was terrible, sorry)

There's onboard VGA, DVI and HDMI output, and the processor/mobo can drive all three at once. As I mainly do coding work, I don't need gaming performance from my graphics. CPU turns up on Wednesday as I noted. There's an SSD connected to the mSATA port on the mobo.

If you have such minimal requirements, space-wise, why go for a full blown ATX mobo/case when a much smaller combo would have done the job?

Space for a serious amount of storage in the future, and also upgradability if I decide to get back into gaming again, this gives me the flexibility to just throw in a graphics card and not have to upgrade everything else at the same time.
