"managing" dust with black kvm...
Hi everyones...thanks to read. I'm planning to build a new system soon and
i'm planning to use black for the keyboard/monitor/mouse. I would like to know if the dust is so visible on them as some people says. I'm not a pig,i dust my room once a week with the vacuum cleaner but black is...well...black! :-) Would like to hear comments from users using this color for their hardware. TIA -- Alain(alias:Kilowatt) Montréal Québec PS: 1000 excuses for errors or omissions, i'm a "pure" french canadian! :-) Come to visit me at: http://kilowatt.camarades.com (If replying also by e-mail, remove "no spam" from the adress.) |

TIA I defintely would go with a darker color. Ive got a Viewsonic monitor thats silver in the front and black over the rest of the 80% of its cover. Sure you can see that whitish layer of dust but thats easy to dust off and if you put a cloth on it when you are gone - a towel or something or just buy a duster and dust it off once in a while , its ways less noticeable than the filthy grime ! I live in place where incredible amounts of dust and brownish and black grime seems to get on everything. My older VIewsonic thats the traditional beige and other keyboards get FILTHY. They have dirt like stains that are impossible to get 100% clean and Ive tried many times periodically. In fact I hated so much - one of the attractions was the silver and black of the Ultrabrite viewsonic series. I also got the newer MS ergo split KB which is still beige but its a darker beige in the middle and really dark gray at the top and bottom. Personally I dont even feel like touching others people computers - I go to peoples houses and see their PCs and the KBs and Monitors etc look like someone got them out of a junk pile and wiped boogers all over them. They have filthy decrepit looking dark dirt stains all over the cases and keyboard - YUCK. Whitish beige shows dirt like crazy. |

TIA A bigger problem with gloss dark finishes is fingerprints. If you left the parts sit and collect dust, sure you'll be able to see dust, moreso than on light off-white parts... though it's not necessarily a bad thing to be abe to tell when things need dusted. Otherwise, like anything else it'll just be less black, more greyish with dust buildup. |

TIA Dust shouldn't be an issue for any equipment that gets much use. The bigger issue is how many nooks on the cases/keyboard, etc. that will be difficult to clean. (One of my pet peeves about stereo equipment, etc.) One thing to consider with a black keyboard... If you have black keys on a black keyboard they can be harder to see and hit. Not a big issue, but I do notice it now and then... |

Thanks a lot for all your replies. Since none seems really frustrated from
owning black hardware...i'll go for it! ;-) |
