Take My Stuff...Please

Free to all finders, birds, beasts, Elves or Men, and all kindly creatures:

* 19" Sony Trinitron monitor. Excellent device, great picture. Big and heavy CRT, but very good quality.
* PC Bits, consisting of the only intelligently-designed desktop case I've ever seen (the bays are individually-removable, which makes dealing with the innards an order of magnitude simpler); a Pioneer DVD burner; an unknown-model DVD reader; a floppy drive (yuk yuk); and a probably-working 3.0 Ghz Intel motherboard and CPU (I would have to ask audiovile of the exact specs). Also a beloved clicky IBM keyboard. Would that I could use it on the iMac. (spride mentions a Matias of similar construction but I don't like it half so much.)
* A coffee table of unusual size. Speak quick, I'm putting it on the street tomorrow night.
* An IKEA "Mikael" wee sma' computer desk. I have the casters, and the keyboard rails, but not the actual chunk of wood that forms the keyboard tray. (We never felt the lack of it.)
* A food dehydrator (claimed by arkham1010)
* A good, sturdy white plastic laundry basket.
* A good, sturdy grey plastic wastebasket. It's too big for bathroom, too small for kitchen, and the wrong size for any of my needs. (We used to have it in the office area.)

For clicky keyboard, I have a Das Keyboard Pro. Not cheap, but then the buckling spring ones never are.

PC Keyboard make the actual IBM buckling spring jobbies, complete with USB versions.

Finally, you can get PS/2-to-USB adapters. I never had much luck with those, but they're cheap and you might do.

Over in LJ, I got a few suggestions on software that lets one remap the clicky keyboard for Mac purposes; does the Das Keyboard need something of that, or does it natively understand the command key and what not?

It just uses the Windows and alt keys for command and option. I think it may be reversed from the usual positions but I find it hard to tell since I don't actually use a "real" Apple keyboard anywhere.

My work keyboard is even more perverse: it's a Sun Type 6. :)

I didn't have to do anything special with either to make them work. I do recall running a Lexmark Model-M PS/2 clone via adapter and having some trouble though.
