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.

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.
