Now that I think about it, all three of my current monitors were free because they were broken and I fixed them. The Dell in particular had the most difficult issue to fix, but I have only had one Dell monitor and it has lasted the longest out of the broken monitors.
Nice. I had a metal keyboard, but it was nothing spectacular. I think it was newer, so the keys had began the transition of not being the full weight clicky type. The one I use regularly has some resistance to the keys which I like. They don't click, but I prefer these full height heyks.
