I wanted to post this after I got my first mech keyboard and here it is in fairly convenient bullet point format for easy reference:
- I'm T.J.
- I build my own computers and have since my first desktop way back in 2003.
- I like clicky keyboards (it's why I found and joined this specific community) and I use a Logitech m600 mouse (fantastic)
- I like other things as well and I'm sure a few of them will randomly come out through interactions.
- I'm absolutely in love with the CM Storm I bought, even though I've typed on it for less than 20 minutes.
- There are times I feel like I'm that guy that could rattle off odd facts, tangents and blurbs about most anything 'net related.
- I need a new desk chair.
- I seem to have already gotten the build my own custom keyboard bug as I am curious about the feel of MX Greens/Grays. Blues, I think were the right choice for me, though. Super clicky without the cacophony of buckling springs.
- Even though I've not seen much real stuff about it, I want to try building a keyboard using wood that isn't a steampunk build.
- And lastly, I bought three keycap sets before I even typed my first real sentence with a mech keyboard and the first set arrived at my house before the keyboard they're meant to be on did.

Welcome to Geekhack!
Sounds like you are hooked already - mind your wallet ;)
We also discuss chairs (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=34779.0) from time to time.

And I've already modded my board slightly with a 33key zinc kit. Metal is different to type on.
Additionally, I want a pure or poker. But I also want gray or green switches so I may end up waiting until one of the many poker/pure user-designed boards comes out...

Hi. I rattle off random facts and stuff about lots of things, normally things that really don't matter :D

I'm not entirely sure if this isn't sarcasm, but...
Yay us!

Same, I bought a set of blank white keys which arrived in a timely manner. But the keyboard was shipped from amazon.com and wouldn't ship to Canada, so I shipped to a friend's mailbox in the US and had to wait weeks for him to pick it up. And just today I learned ncix.ca had the keyboard in stock...
