Found a $100 dollar keyboard at Goodwill

When going to Goodwill I have one thing in mind, electronics. I finally lucked out today when I found a CM Storm Trigger with red switches. I bought it for $4 dollars, took it home and started cleaning it because...  it needed it. 

 

Anyways here are the progress pics. (Sorry for the bad quality)

 

I still prefer my Noppoo Choc Mini, but I love red switches now. Definitely will be buying a mini mechanical with reds soon.

Oh, I forgot to mention that it works perfectly. The only thing even remotely wrong with it is the A and D keys are worn down. I guess the person was just too lazy to clean it.

Well you know they were a cat person :D

If you take a blowdryer and a butter knife to that sticker it will come off without leaving any residues :)

I was lucky it actually came off very easily with no residue left.

 

The times when i found good stuff......

 

Found that for 7 bucks.

Nice find tho for a Mech KB....

Damn those are some sick scores.

Already did :), there's some progress pictures in the link. I will probably stick to my mini mechanical keyboard, but I will find a use for this one.

Yep, some people are stupid to donate good stuff sometimes or the employees price the product incorrectly....

Never found a KB mech board here before..found a bunch of PC parts(P2/P3,775 Board, GPUs, RAM, ODDs, Fans, bunch of cables).

Why go to best buy to buy a DVI cable when you can go to Goodwill and find one cheap AF.
