Post by: twilek on Fri, 24 February 2012, 18:29:40: Hi guys, I'm going to buy my first mechanical and I found the CM Storm quickfire rapid.I would want the cherry red edition and I was wondering if there was a better board for under $100 or what you guys thought about it.

If you're in Australia you can get it from here too...
