I picked up a basic M$ keyboard and a Logitech G500 mouse.  I plan on ordering a mechanical keyboard from wasdkeyboards.com.  They're keyboards are $139.99 but fully customizable.  I don''t think they have tenkeyless though.  I just can't decide on the color scheme.  I keep changing my mind.

My first build from the ground up is finally finished:

Intel i7 2600k Sandy Bridge 3.4 GHz
ASUS P8Z68-V LGA 1155 Intel Z68
Evga GeForce GTX 580
8 gigs of DDR3 2000 ram
120 GB Intel SSD
1.5 TB Western Digital HDD

Corsair 750W (Rated Silver)
ZALMAN CNPS11X Extreme CPU Cooler
Rosewill BLACKHAWK Gaming ATX Mid Tower
Samsung 27" LED

Finally got everything to work last night and I love Windows 7 on the Solid State drive is 

Only problem right now is that my CPU is idle'd at ~47 degrees C and it's supposed to be cooler than that.

Disable Defragmentation on the SSD.
Disable Browser Cache.
Change Default Directory where files are downloaded to.
Disable Your Page File.

It will make your SSD last longer however still saying that over time you'll need to buy another one just like a hard drive after so many years. When you do buy another one they should be cheaper and have more space and be able to last longer "maybe".

that's awesome man, i hope more people buy from wasd so they can get enough money for some tenkeyless boards. i love the compact form factor. i use a filco for my gaming rig and a poker for my mbp (it lays on top of the laptop since it's so small)

You need to at least throw a 460 in there if you want to get it.. out of the box I doubt it would be enjoyable
