I am interesting in purchasing a mechanical keyboard. 

Requirements

-well made

-non-detachable chord/Mini/mirco usb BS

-not overly loud

-no extra bells/whistles

-under $110 USD 

the thermaltake meka or the razer blackwidow might be something you want to look at, or a corsair vengeance k70 or something similar

Ducky Zero sounds good for you.

You can get one with any key switch you want so you can just avoid mx blue.

I really like the corsair vengeance K70, it has some great features and it doesn't lack in build quality either. 

The Cherry MX Red switches shouldn't be too loud and I love the looks of it as well.

 

You have probably already seen this, but in case you haven't this is Linus' unboxing & overview:

Thanks for all the quick responses I am thinking cherry black or red. I haven't decided between the two anyone have hands on experience with those switches?

 

I suggest trying the switches out in a store or trying a friend's. It's easier to decide than a word description.

Reds are a light, linear press. Blacks are the same but require more force to press than a red.

I would look at a Filco if you really need the non detachable cable. I actually prefer detachable and Leopold and CM's QFR have nice recessed ones. The other option which is by far going to be the greatest is the WASD V2 http://goo.gl/r5oYW which is coming soon!
