Picked up a CM Storm Quickfire Rapid keyboard today (blue switches). I now understand why everyone raves about mechanical keyboards 

 Never going back to rubber domes.

Aah nice
 
I ordered a qpad mk-50 with red switches.
 
Blues are too noisy for my living environment, and I didn't like the browns that much. I thought they felt a bit cheaper than the blues. More crunchy than clicky. 
I liked the blacks I tried in the shop, but they were a bit heavy. So reds it is!

Today amazon delivered a couple of relatively cheap 120Hz monitors for triple screen racing. Such fun

Nice. I have a Leopold tenkeyless with blacks and an Adesso numpad with blues. Couldn't be happier.

A little update.

Spoiler

I love it.

I had a Razer BlackWidow (Ultimate) mechanical keyboard for a while. I got it mostly for the backlight but I thought I might as well see what all the hype was with mechanical keyboards (I got mine shortly after it came out). It was nice. A bit loud, but I didn't care all that much. It made typing on phone calls even worse than it was though, but that wasn't a common occurrence anyway. I had it for maybe over 6 months, and a family friend bought it off me for $100 because it looked cool. Hey, $100 out of $130 I paid, and I could use the cash more than the pretty keyboard. I'm now back on a  beige however-old Logitech PS/2 keyboard and I don't really care that much. I also was switching from the mechanical to my laptop keyboard for school (and from full mouse to little red nub; it was a Lenovo X200 Thinkpad Tablet w/o touchpad or touchscreen) and I didn't notice the difference much. I guess some people appreciate it more than others; I'm not picky. Maybe someday when it makes more financial sense (even $50 is hard for me to justify at the moment) I'll try again with a better keyboard. Cheers

I just ordered that desk last week! Paying $588(CAD) locally, authorized HM dealer to, I went with black frosted laminate for the back piece though.

I dig it, and I think you could get away with something like the KRK Rokit 5's. They do not have super great extension in bass, but a great sounding speaker. I have the Rokit 8's, but I live in a house so, my neighbors do not really hear me. 
 
Oh by the way, what software are you running on your computer?

 

[calipilot227]

Get some stands to raise the monitors off the desk, it does wonders.

Thx bro. The Rokit 5's are a tiny upgrade from the AV40's. Neither of them extend low enough for my tastes and the AV40's are less than half the price. Not to mention, I can only play low volume until I get a house for my speakers then Ill probably grab some Mackie 8's. Right now I'm just running Serato DJ and FL Studio. I'm still in the learning stages. Any advice?

I'm trying to think of something cheap I can do that with. It's not even worth paying more than a couple bucks in my current situation. Might just use a couple bricks.

Great purchase, I love the desk!
However HM does not sell it in the EU, so I had to arrange an import from the US to Sweden, so it got a tad bit more expensive, worth it though.

in the process of upgrading my rig. Moving it to a Caselabs SM8 case (black exterior, white interior). Still rocking the i5 2500K, but getting a second 7970. I'm gonna fully watercool it and keep with a black/white/copper theme

A cheapish sub could tide you over until you can get some monitors with larger drivers.

Mmmm water.
 
Please don't use a Corsair H50 and tell me your computer is "water cooled" though
