Thanks for the warm welcome, and yes I have read that also. But like my post said I am a student and theres no way I can go back to typing on those crap rubber dome keyboards they have in the labs. Since I normally sit in the same lab for hours on end, I think I am going to try and get a 60% with MX browns that I can use as a beater to bring around with me to class. When I'm at school I literally spend all day on a computer and think it may be a sound investment.
As for getting artisan caps, I'm still getting in the know-how of where to look and when to look but I have bookmarked a couple pages and now just got to keep my fingers crossed.
