Is this the only way to get that color scheme?

A little too shiny for my taste, but an Ironman with a red led would look incredible! Now you just need to make the ARC reactor

I would suggest either rubber nubs/feet on the bottom, or get a large mousepad-like mat to place it on.

Reds for me...I'm a linear fan after trying the 4 standards (Black, Brown, Blue, Red)

Shapeways is pretty neat, but can be quite costly... might be more practical for smaller 60% cases or novelty keycaps. The design and demo look incredible, dox!

Is this run of cases the same as the previous ones I've seen?

Very good point, if you include some pictures Treble please label the colors! Gunmetal sounds good but I'd rather look at it ^_^

I too would like to see pictures before deciding. Thanks!

I second this idea!

The model with the trackball appears to be a G84-5400, which has Cherry ML switches.

Good choices! I just got a Poker myself...how do you like the OP-1?

I like this concept!

Good choice!

Sorry, I forgot to mention that it's essentially the same board, just with a track pad instead of a track ball. Cherry is the manufacturer of the Compaq board so it's the same quality, and being that the switches are PCB mounted, it's easy to mod them. So the cherry branded board is easier to mod? ...

My first cherry was a G80-11900, and based on my experience I'd say it's a good choice.

Payment sent!

Interestingly, spray paints for metal surfaces like Krylon X-Metals will absorb into softer plastics like ABS very well. If the keys are pad printed, I imagine the paint won't have an effect on that, since it isn't plastic, and will wipe off. As for lasered keys, the lettering should still be visibl...
