I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Forget about the bad memories of the past, take the good ones along with you through the present, and look forwards to the good things that will come in the future.

If you are thinking about the Monoprice keyboard, I recommend reading @Vitalius' review of it: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/45586-my-review-of-the-monoprice-blue-switch-mechanical-keyboard/

 

I personally would recommend a CM Storm Quickfire TK

I would upgrade your cpu to something like a Q6600 before dropping any money on a keyboard. You can get a Q6600 on ebay for $45 right now.

Guys, if the monoprice Blue Switches one was in stock, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. But I don't feel like waiting to get my mechanical experience on.

I'm getting a BlackWidow Tournament Edition because it's Cherry MX Blues and I'll get those so I can stop being a Mechanical Keyboard virgin.

Good thing Leonard found the Monoprice and QF TK links for you, BW TE would have been......an unsatisfactory buy and mechanical experience. I collect keyboards, and I believe that I'm a little more discerning when I buy a keyboard for my collection, the QF TK MX Blue is in my collection. Do you see any Razer keyboard in my collection?
