It looks like the PCB was designed so you could break off the bottom row and have a functional 5x4 numpad.  Not sure how easy/safe it is to cut up a PCB, but a 5x4 would be great for people looking to compliment their 60% boards.

Heh, check this out: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=38963.0

That's very cool and makes this very tempting for me. However, I'd then be on the hunt for a case. Anyone know of a 5x4 aluminum case?

I just read all 23 pages of that thread.  For anyone interested, it looks one successful method is to score the line along the bottom row repeatedly on both sides of the PCB and then break it off by hand.  I will be trying this with one of the two PCBs I ordered.

You could always get one made like this: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=38963.msg1324791#msg1324791

I had that case laser cut from stainless for Thechemist.

thats a good question, but after looking at pictures on the almighty internet (dangwang blog), the mx mini as it was sold relied on mounting to the case via the plate it uses. it did look to have pcb mounted stabs though

the race attaches to the tray from the PCB itself, there is actual proper mounting holes for the tray on the PCB because the RACE doesnt have a plate. If you are familiar with the way the poker or pure attaches to a tray that is the same with the RACE

now if the replica has new mounting holes that match the race tray, as well as a different mounting location of the USB port then yes it would be compatible but i seriously it was the intention of the replica to make it work with a RACE tray.

I would like to change my order from 1 PCB to 2 PCBs.

Also, I would like to confirm that the PCBs will be coming as 4x6.  I see the case only supports 4x5, but I want the extra piece on the bottom to still be attached so it would be 4x6.

The case looks to be a 4x6 to me. If you look at the mounting points in the case they match the 4x6 mounting points on the PCB and not the 4x5 ones. I think the case that it is shown next to is the race case which is also 6 keys high.
