So, does anyone know any good keyboards and mouses under $50?

How are you guys orienting your desktop speakers? I'm not sure to keep my bookshelfs straight forward or curved inward at an angle.
Angled, of course
I'm running the stock Silence Series R2 fans (with another one added to the front) and the thing is basically silent. Running the fans as low as they can go of a BitFenix Recon. The loudest thing in my system when idling is my PSU (which should have some 0dB magic-mode, though i call BS on that).
It's in a 600t with the front fan replaced with a 200mm Spectre pro(pretty quiet, but spits air out to the side in a horrible way, very disappointing).
As long as it sucked in a lot of air into the case, which it does much better than the stock corsair 200mm, and probably other 200mm fans out there, I didn't see it much of an issue with the Bitfenix when I had them.
Its main issue for me was the build quality. I must have refunded and exchanged the fans at least 5 times over the course of a year. It would start whirring and the noise would be just unbearable for me. The last replacement did not work at all out of the box.
If they insist on selling cases with 200mm fan intakes, I think corsair should at least provide higher performing 200mm fans than the ones they currently have.
Really? I mean I don't have the RM series, but I do have an AX760 which I've never heard over anything else. The RM series should be better silence optimized though, seeing as the fan should be hybrid where it only spins up under a certain amount of load, and internals are picked to reduce coil whine and other noise. Don't know the orientation you have it in, mine's fan facing down. It's in a 600t with the front fan replaced with a 200mm Spectre pro(pretty quiet, but spits air out to the side in a horrible way, very disappointing). Can't really tell what's the loudest(on low), probably either the front or top 200mm fan, which is mostly from the grills by them causing noise from airflow over them. Under load probably the loudest thing in my case would be the EVGA ACX cooler on my GTX770.
