Chicony 5181 with Monterey Blues starting at $52 shipped
« on: Wed, 10 July 2013, 03:05:43 »
Spotted this on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Chicony-Keyboard-5181-Blue-Alps-Sliders-Clicky-AT-w-PS2-Adapter-/330953854868?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item4d0e630f94

Seller says they're Blue Alps, but they're definitely Monterey Blues.  I would love the keyboard, but unless someone were to swoop in and buy a bunch of my stuff for sale, $52 is out of my price range right now.  Hopefully someone in here gets it for a steal.

Man, I'm so tempted to get this, but I have to pass as well. I have no money right now.

Somebody buy this. These are great boards, and the price is at the high end of reasonable.

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

Believe me, if I had the money, I'd be all over it. 

Anyone want to buy a water cooling reservoir, a key cap puller, some sleeved USB cables, or a Red Gum wooden wrist wrest?

Check my for sale ad in my sig for what I have available, there's also a red, grey, and orange cable I'm making as well as a few white over paracord cables. 

Of course, I was saying that as a joke in here.

Switches are great.  Board quality is a different story.  Pretty flimsy.
