Australia. Needless to say, I do work quite often. I'm still at school so expenses apart from my car and phone aren't an issue. I'm just good with saving I guess  ^_^ 

Even working somewhere cheap will get you some money if you are still living with family. My first PC investment was my little laptop, the a mouse, then an extra monitor. This was all bought over a 1-2 year period  :lol:

Thank you  :D Having 3 monitors is freaking awesome.

Agreed, but they do the job. I'll probably end up doing custom sleeving eventually, but I've never done it before so I'm a tad nervous about doing it. I'll probably practice on some of the spare modular cables.  ^_^

One day...  :wub:

I got a new keyboard! :D I made the switch to mechanical and went with the Razer Blackwidow Ultimate 2013. I faced my fears about getting Cherry MX Blues, as I was worried they were going to be too loud, but they aren't as bad as I thought :D I probably would have preferred MX Browns, but I couldn't get the Stealth Edition sadly :( I might just get some rubber o-rings to put below the keycaps and that might reduce the sound a bit. The space bar is always the loudest key I think  ^_^ This keyboard will take some getting used to, I'm missing keys by way off! But definitely much better to type on than my Deathstalker from before! :D More to come in the next week or two ;)
