You don't want a $70 mech keyboard. SOmething's amiss. Spend $120-200 on a quality unit. Then there are electrostatic keyboards like the "Typing Heaven".

For the record I'm using a $9 microsoft keyboard. Been using it since 2010. I quite like it. I do have a $80 mouse though.
Guys, the tesoro is pretty well reviewed and uses MX switches. Its "cheap" because it doesnt have fancy macro functions and USB pass through. Some of us frankly don't need/want/care for that extraneous stuff.
I lose my mind when I have to type on rubber dome keys. Absolutely hate it.
It's a direct haptic link between you and your computer. Thats like saying "just goto good will and get a 20$ monitor, its just a monitor". You may not care, but others may.

No believe me I care but I budget for performance where I'll feel it more. Keyboard I can deal with being crappy. Eventually I will get an MX red. I like those. But I'm saying I can TOLERATE a membrane board.
I shouldn't have said "didn't care"; more of a non issue for most people. I'm a competitive gamer (Dota 2 and counter strike) so a good keyboard is mandatory for me. For others that casually game or don't need a good keyboard, it is perhaps a superfluous cost addition.
that said, I personally am not willing to spend 200 on a Kaye board simply for a couple extra macro functions and 16.8 million colors I'll never use. The line is different for everyone I suppose

Should I continue asking for an advise for my situtation with Internet here, or should I create a separate topic in the Networking forum?
If someone has time, please explain me what is this in a plain language. http://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-MCAB1...ds=Netgear+MCA1001+(MoCA);&pebp=1418490407152
Cause it seems like it is a router, but it is not. And can it somehow facilitate the use of that Coax cable in my room, of witch I provided pictures on the previous page?
I watched several videos and all they say is that, "you can basically do what ever you want with this thing."

I need a thermal compound/grease/paste. I am going change thermal paste on three laptops. Also I want to have some leftovers, so I can change thermal paste on those laptops after some time again. Plus I have desktop that I might accommodate with after market cooler after some time, so I will need thermal compound for this also. Thus, I need a lot of thermal paste of high quality and cheap.
I have also several questions.
Is thermal compound, grease, paste is the same thing?
Is ceramic thermal compound will be ok for laptops and desktop?
How fast will thermal compound dry out in the container while being stored(or it does not dry out in the container)?
I was looking at these two products:
1)

Nooooo. AS5? Terrible performance until it breaks in, and even then it's not impressive. And it's capacitive. That's bad. Also a massive PITA to clean away and reapply compared to some other compounds like NTH1 and MX2/4. Stay away from Arctic Silver 5 OP. No offense Bob. We just have to agree to disagree here .

I've never cared too much about it. Like it or not, AS5 is the "go to" thermal compound for whatever reason.
Not sure what capacitance matters for thermal transfer anyway. It works fine according to the myriad of benchmark tests that exist. There's tons of options, most work about the same anyway so whatever haha.
