Continuing from this thread (http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24476), here's what I have coming:

Ok, starting off with the thing that generated the most interest, Bulgin switches! :D
As it turns out, I didn't quite get what the website told me I would (welcome to the world of Micrpocenter clearance web orders :P ).

These are the switches you normally expect, with the nice solid metal construction, deep buckling spring button press, and nicely diffused light.
1 : $10 : Bulgin blue ring
2 : $10 : Bulgin green ring
These, I'm not sure exactly what they are...Microcenter thinks they're Bulgin, and they have the Bulgin logo on the bottom, so I'm inclined to believe them, but they're definitely a different model. I'm thinking maybe an older version? They have a shorter stroke, more like a normal PCB button, but they are constructed very similarly, same stainless steel and rubber gasket. They're still momentary switches though, so they'll do the job just fine. The light is not quite as well diffused, but still looks very nice. Overall, they still look quite nice (a little scratched; they look like they were stored bare for a while), and they're built just as strong, they're just a little less satisfying to push. :P Here's a comparison shot comparing it to one of the 'normal' ones.
4 : $8 : Bulgin green ring (old?)

I thought these were neat and thought somebody on here would probably have a use for them. Should be fairly self-explanatory.
2 : $2 : SATA Male to Male Adapter
4 : $2 : Sata Male to Female L Adapter

2 : $2 : Steelseries Glide MS Gaming Mouse Feet
2 : $7.50 : 300V 18 gauge Yellow Stranded Wire - 100' Roll
(http://www.nteinc.com/wire/300.html)

10 : $0.50 : Connectx Molex Gripz Female Connector Housing - Black
10 : $0.50 : Connectx FDD Power 4-pin Female - Glow-in-the-Dark
http://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq3/x13931x/microcenterStuff2_06.jpg

Now, the black ones didn't come with covers (the back pop-on portion that covers the wire connection), but the blue ones came with 20 pass-through and 20 end-point covers (the end-point extend further down one side to cover up the wire ends), so if you specify which you want, I can include one with each connector..well, until they're gone.
20 : $0.40 : Connectx T-SATA Female Power Connector - UVBlue
17 : $0.75 : Connectx T-SATA Female Power Connector - Black

10 : $1 : Bitspower G1/4" Fitting Spacer with Hidden O-Ring
http://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq3/x13931x/microcenterStuff2_03.jpg

5 : $1.50 : Bitspower G1/4" Low Profile Stop Fitting (Plug)
Picture is showing the difference in thickness compared to a standard Bitspower plug. The top is also different, having a slot down the middle for a screwdriver to tighten it, but I couldn't get a shot of it without glare (my normal picture setup is covered with computer parts atm).

4 : $2 : Bitspower G1/4" Silver Shining D-Plug Set
These are neat. Basically, it lets you have a relatively easily removable 180-degree joint. This could be nice for separating SLI/CFX GPU blocks or something.

I think the rest should be fairly self-explanatory..hopefully we all know what L/T/Q-blocks and fans look like. ;)
5 : $1.75 : Bitspower Crystal L-Block Fitting
5 : $2 : Bitspower Crystal T-Block G1/4"
2 : $2 : Bitspower Crystal Q-Block (in case someone doesn't know, this is a 4-way block)
1 : $3 : Yate Loon 120mm Low Speed Fan


Oh, and if anyone wants a "Prima Official Game Guide" to "Hellboy: The Science of Evil", they can have it for $1...the description did not say it was a game guide. :mad:

The pictures were of silver, so that would be my best guess. I'll let you know for sure once I pick them up.

Is there any way you could get an orange Bulgin switch? That would be awesome!

I'll check when I go in tomorrow, but the only ones they had listed online were the red and green.

Personally I like the newer model better. The deep travel feels a lot more satisfying.
