    Yes, it is indeed an old clicky IBM model M. I have 6 full size and one space saver I rescued from school and my dad's work. I've cleaned them all up, though they tend to be relatively newish as far as those keyboards go. The one I use is from 1989, but most of the rest range 1991-1994. I wish I had one of the originals from closer to 1984

    Clicky keyboards are awesome, I was looking to see if anyone made a typists keyboard with that feature, but quickly ran into a wall when doing so.

    I'm guessing they can't really be backwards modded very easily to support USB, you'd probably need to gut two keyboards and replace the board on the clicky with the newer board... Lots of dremeling too.

    So I spilt beer on my desk last night, and along with me and my friend smoking in here my room no longer smells of the oil I used to coat the surface of my desk. It's debatable which is the better smell, however, I think I'm going to get a room freshener and leave my window open for a week or so, see if that clears it up xD

    If you go to Online Store Home Page Index and select either of the customizers they have the option of USB. The original IBMs could be made into USB keyboards fairly easily if you could create a cable that goes from what hooks into the keyboard (I'm not even sure what it classifies as) to the PC because the cables detach from the keyboards. Also, being rather old, I can't see the cable being overly complex, it's only 101 keys and nothing fancy.

    As for the smell, if you'd prefer no smell at all, leave open baking soda somewhere, probably close to your spill. You need a certain size box for the room size you have but it works wonders. A friend of mine bought a car from smokers and the only thing that did anything to the smell was baking soda.

    I have a Dell clicky that I painted black with black keys, and converted to USB. You need an active PS/2 converter ($15) and a USB A-A cable (about $15). I paid $3 for the PS/2 converter and about $0.65 for the cable because of where I work. I'm sure you could find similar online prices.

    The original IBM clickies are AT, so you'll need an AT -> PS/2 converter, or the PS/2 cord if you can find one. The newer clickies are all PS/2 and pretty cheap to get and mod (I got mine from the trash).

    In the market for a new corner desk, because I want to have room for a 22in monitor also and a netbook, took a look around at Ikea yesterday but didn't see anything I liked. Seen a few desks on here that are pretty nice.
    Holy shit, your PS3 must howl when you use it. They have one at my job setup with both sides covered by stand/media server and that shit is loud.

    Never actually used my PS3 while it was there other than for like 10mins to check out my new monitor while I await Newegg to get my parts to me, because the Antec 900 on my desk is completely empty hince the no LEDs on. Anyways things change from day to day and here is my new desktop, and yes blackberrys are still boss...

    It's called the Z or a glass desk and everyfucking place sells it. Seriously, not hard to find, go into staples or office max. I hate to be an ass, but that question has been asked soooo many fucking times.

    Nothing snazzy at all, I'm really due for a bigger monitor and some better speakers. Also a dusting.
