K.. The only comp that makes sense to post here would be the one I play with.. so:

Nexuz silent tower with 400W PS
Asus A8V Deluxe mobo
Athlon64 3200+
2x512MB RAM (I think.. if its not 2x1G)
Asus N6600 (GForce 6600 128MB) (silent)
200G Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 PATA Drive.. i dont like SATA
In addition to the on-board SoundCard I have a SB Live! Gold 2.0
HardSID Quattro PCI http://www.hardsid.com/

Total running noise: 14dB

The stupid BIOS disabled the on-board soundcard when i added the HardSID, wich is not very good for gaming so i added the SB.

That would be a buckling-spring keyboard, which it's rather unfortunate that they are now massivly under-produced.

No, the one that goes "tap tap tap" (think knocking on a wooden table with your index finger)

Also, it's so old that the signs on the buttons have mostly washed out (the letters and other buttons I use commonly) that I had to write them again with a marker

My keys are laser etched. It'll take many decades of tying to wear away that much plastic.

Yeah well, in my case, the guy who owned that keyboard before me was typing stuff atleast 6 hours a day( minus weekends and an occasional holiday), for six years. And I mean typing heavily, like a constant 3-4 keys per second.
