Yup QuickFire Pro with double-shot ABS green keycaps, they are about $25. If I was a better typist I would of gone for some blank keycaps, or if I was really into mechanical I would of gone for PLA. The backlighting barely does anything with these keys, but I don't use it anyway.
Grimwolf what is that holding up your wacom? I want one!

It works amazingly well, but you might want some sort of cheap gripping mat beneath it like I have.
Mine slides around a little without it, but my desk also has a glass surface, so it might not be an issue for everyone.
WAY better than using it just flat on the surface. But if I had the money, I'd rather get an Ergotron with the notebook mount.
What shortcuts do you guys use on your cintiqs if you use it for Zbrush?
Left side:
7 switches are for 5 custom menus + controls for viewport navigation, and touchpad for brush size.
Right side:
Right now i got subdivision level up/down, delete higher/lower level, add subdivision level, undo/redo and that's it for now. Touchpad is still not used.
I just use the keyboard as well. I tried using the Wacom keys for a while, but there's so few of them relative to the keyboard, you need to manage separate profiles for each application if you want to actually get good use out of it, and it's just much less intuitive.
The only thing I really use is the wheel for brush size. I might get around to at least setting the keys to other useful brush settings.
adam: just wondering how audible your system gets with fans on the top and side (?) of the case? also is that bunch of fans actually needed to keep the machine cool?
i have a comparable i7 4ghz/770-4gb/32gb configuration with a massive CPU cooler and one silent fan each front and back, all stuffed into a noiseproofed case and it seems to stay cool/lukewarm at most no matter the CPU load.
The tower is cool as ice at capacity and, so far, the sound hasn't bothered me (I use head phones). I just took a peak and it seems to be a very low, soft hum.
That's a really sharp looking desk, Cameron! Love the simple design and choice of stain. Nicely done man.
Thanks man, I've never "made" anything like this before, at least in real life lol. It was a fun project, and relatively inexpensive, learned a lot in the process.

Professional!!
Here is mine (This is an older pic with the game I'm working on, called Novus)
