Hello,
My name is Komm, and I am from Melbourne, Australia.
I have just bought my second mechanical keyboard (It arrived today ;D :thumb:)- a KBT 60% Pure Pro with cherry blue switches and blue backlighting.
My old keyboard was a ducky shine II 9008 with cherry brown switches, and some cool keycaps.

So far I am LOVING the cherry blues - such a great actuation, and I am not bottoming out at all - I would say it would be the best switch for beginners.
I don't think I will be changing the keycaps, because I will need the stock ones for reference, but I think I will funk it up a bit by getting a braided USB cable or something like that.
Still have to get used to the 60% layout, though.
As for myself,
I am in my mid 20's - a business development manager for a haircare company. I have a daughter who is nearly 2.
In my spare time I love bashing around my HPI Baja Flux remote control car, and playing FPS games on my PC.

Welcome to GH!
Is that a custom desk?
I am glad you asked..
Before our little bundle of joy arrived, I had the Masturbatorium. In there I actually had a second hand board room table, which was like 2.2m across and 1.2m deep. It was amazing. It had a 3D surround set up on it, and also an old 3007 30" monitor for my second system.
But then the Masturbatorium was disbanded and turned into a nursery.
So I was banished to a dark corner in the lounge room where I am today...
And the hunt was on for a smaller desk... And all computer desks are too shallow, so you are sitting too close to the 30" monitor, and they have those stoopid keyboard trays and etc... so what I ended up getting was an Ikea dining table! It is the perfect depth, perfect width, almost the perfect height (as you can see I made a little monitor riser using some parts from Ikea - I will show ya'all in another thread)
It was only about AU$130, and it is solid.
As for cable management, I have just nailed in some loops at the back, and cable-tied everything to those. I have also mounted the power board underneath that (which is great for normal cables, but impracticable for power bricks)
You can kind of see it here;

And here is the old 3D surround set up when I was a logitech fanboi :rolleyes:
The main reason I got rid of these was the heat output - they can heat up the lounge room in 5 mins flat.. great in winter, but deadly in the Australian summer..

And this is the U3011 with the dell 20"
I still have the 20", but the colours are just SO bad, I haven't bothered to set it up again..
