$101 for an Ultimate edition of it.

I'm not sure about a mechanical keyboard. They feel great, but they're so loud.

It's a very loud clacking sound. I find my G15 to be a little loud sometimes, the BW is really quite loud.

I know Das Keyboard makes a silent edition, but it's much pricier.

It's not actually the sound of the switch that bothers me, it's the hard clack when the key bottoms out that irks me.

I rather like the sound of normal keyboards. Except the space bar, it's really loud.

But the feel of the BW is really nice - my friend has one, I got to try it out. It's wicked, but noisy.

The display still didn't come clean. 90% isopropyl in a 50/50 blend with distilled water didn't do anything. Prior to that, the white vinegar and 50/50 distilled water didn't do anything either.

What's next? I remember alfa had an idea, but that thread is gone.

How to Properly Clean your LCD Screen

When it comes to optimize the layout of your office space, nothing helps to free desk space more then a nice, flat LCD screen. That's probably one of the main reason everyone has one these days. Apart from that, they're also very cheap, easy on the eyes and consume less electricity than their CRT counterparts. With all that said, there’s really no reason not to have one sitting on your desk in 2007.

But these screens are not perfect. In fact, you have to be very careful when cleaning them up. Too much pressure using the wrong kind of cloth will most likely scratch your display and could even burn some of its pixels. So the question is, what is the proper way to clean an LCD screen?

First, you've probably seen some of those LCD cleaning solutions in computer stores right? The good news is that if you do not want to pay for a commercial product, mixing up your own solution is very easy. If you don't want to take any chances and prefer to use a professional product, please see our recommendation at the end of this article. So to get started, you only need 2 ingredients:

* 70% Isopropyl alcohol (Warning)
* Distilled Water

The recipe is easy: Mix the Isopropyl alcohol and distilled water in equal parts (50/50) inside an empty Windex-like bottle. Do not use tap water! Doing so will leave white smears on your screen after cleaning it up because of the dissolved minerals inside the water. When finished mixing, just close the bottle using the "spray" adaptor that comes attached to it.

Next, you will need to find a good, soft piece of microfiber cloth to clean your display. Avoid paper tissues at all cost! Using those on your screen would be just like scrubbing sandpaper on it and may scratch it permanently. You wouldn't want to do that right?

Now that we have everything we need, start by turning off your screen. Dampen your piece of soft cloth with your cleaning mixture and then wipe the display gently from top to bottom. Never spray liquid directly onto the LCD. When you're done, wait a few minutes to let your screen dry, and then turn it back on. Voila, you're done! Your screen should now be sparkling clean.

Probably was that

wtf did you do with your display?

I... well, got a little ticked off at something I was working on, and jabbed a fairly new gel pen on its point. The point collapsed, meaning the pen was worthless, so I raged a bit and threw the pen at the trash barrel. Unfortunately, I missed the interior of the barrel, it caught the hard edge, and the result was an explosion of black gel ink.

Yes, I have an anger management problem.
