The article is written for builders ... "Looking to build the ultimate PC?"

That CPU costs nearly as much as my whole computer.
 
I do have that essential Plexiglas side panel on my case (required for minimum latency, you know), but not the cool blue light inside. Gotta see to that.

I have the plexiglass side panel and one case fan with a cool blue LED. 
 
But I will need a much bigger bank account before I upgrade, LOL!

Your post did remind me of how much I hate my current keyboard. I've been a fast touch-typist since I first learned how more than 50 years ago, but on this POS I'm constantly making typos. It's been years since I've had a really good keyboard with mechanical switches and proper tactile feedback. But it's also been years since I paid more than 10 bucks for one. Still, it's got me thinking maybe it's time for an upgrade.

Yeh, I looked at that one, as well as its less-expensive sibling. I'm afraid, however, that what makes for a good gaming keyboard might not be the same criteria as a good one for writing and coding. I find lots of recommendations and reviews from gamers online, but nobody ever posts "this one's great for MS Word".
 
The multi-color backlit keys are pretty cool-looking, though. I think the red one would look nice next to a lava lamp in a darkened studio. Which reminds me, I don't have one of those, either.

Lave lamp.
