Looks nice Mr B, but personally I am not keen on boards that have small fans like that. I have found after a year or so they get noisy.

 

Just give the machine to me. My wife is a fully trained barista and knows how to get the best out of it. You'll just be wasting it, far better to find it a good home. Right?

...right?

 

Yeah haven't fired it up yet but from what I have read is that the 40mm fan has its own speed controller so shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Also its got a waterproof coating over the whole board lol

 

To save yourself the hassle of having to have it take up space in your kitchen, your wife is welcome to pop round here to use it, ideally first thing, mid-morning and then again in late afternoon

 

Very nice! I'm going to be needing a third tripod soon because I converted one of my Velbon DV7000s into a foldable light stand for a pair of LED floodlights to use as work/photography lamps

Any idea what head you will be putting on it?

 

Konica Autoreflex TC with Konica Hexanon 40mm f/1.8 (mainly for the lens)
Tiny (about an inch long), fast, pretty sharp, what more could you want?
The focal length is pretty interesting to work with too.

Recently bought myself 3 x Cougar CF-V12HP fans, a Swiftech 8way PWM splitter board, and a pwm extension.

Time to replace those shoddy Corsair case fans, ahh slience.

 

New hub bit of DT Swissnes

This:



Velbon V4 boom arm, along with an L bracket and Giottos Ball head, and the 7D + 100mm f/2.8 Macro. With this setup, I can get right down to the ground and point up/down as needed for capturing the bugs and flowers etc. I do plan on getting a 2nd camera body at some point, something fairly small and light which won't be such a pain to carry around when I don't need the burst rate or extra buttons of the 7D.

 

I accidentally...



Hideous keycaps, but that will soon be resolved.

 

They're not that bad! I think it's a pretty nice looking board.

 

Looks nice, but I still couldn't face a keyboard without a numpad (and basic media buttons).

 

The font on the alphas is pretty bloody awful, I don't mind it so much on the modifiers. Generally though, it is a nice looking board.

 

I think I became so familiar with that font from my Saitek keyboards that it doesn't bother me any more

 

I had the Eclipse and Eclipse II back in the day, but I've been spoiled with much nicer boards (and kepcaps) since then.

 

I had Saitek's for 7 years.. If it wasn't for me winning this K60 at the bit-tech pub quiz back in the day, I'd almost certainly still be on one.

 

I used the Eclipse (and later the Cyborg V.5) on both my work and gaming rigs for about 8 years, until I discovered mechanical keyboards and went with a mixture of KBC, Corsair, Noppoo and Filco!

 

Picked up two classics for a nice price today

 

Suikoden awesome RPG series, wish i still had the original on PS1 worth a few quid now
