Stupid thing I did today.... Ok so I just put a full cup of coffee down carlessly and spilt over my keyboard. Which is now drained and wiped and back in action! Luckily I only stripped it and vacuumed it out a few days ago or it would be a real mess!
Still it could have been worse, as the cup only wobbled over - it landed like this:
Hey at least I got to drink half a cup!
NB Apologies for the picture quality, theres one of those blackberry things lying around so i just used that. | My System Specs |

I think my previous keyboard had drank a pot of coffee, thirsty for another cup after each cleaning but still works like a trooper. However the new illuminated one is still enjoying a stint at coffee-holics anonymous. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number My own abomination OS Windows 7 Professional x 64 CPU Intel i7 2600K @ 3.40 GHz Motherboard ASUS Sabertooth P67 Memory Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR3 1600MHz CL8 Dual Channel Kit Graphics Card Asus ENGTX570 GeForce GTX 570 1280MB GDDR5 PCI-E w/ Dual DVI Sound Card Onboard Realtek or Nvidia High Definition Audio (HDMI) Monitor(s) Displays Sharp 42" LCD TV ( 5 HDMI and VGA inputs ) Screen Resolution 1366 X 768 Keyboard Logitech Wireless Illuminated Keyboard K800 Mouse Logitech M515 Wireless Couch Mouse PSU Corsair TX 850W Power Supply w/ 140mm Fan Case Cooler Master HAF 932 High Air Flow Full Tower Chassis Cooling Zalman CNPS10X FLEX CPU Cooler & 2 Thermalright Silent Fans Hard Drives Intel SSD 330 Series SATA III Solid State Drive, 120GB Internet Speed 100 Mbps Antivirus Kapersky Internet Security 2013 Browser (Primary) Firefox 19.0.2, Chrome & IE 10 Other Info LG Super Multi Blue Internal Blu-ray Disk Rewriter - BH10LS30 |
