With help from mr. bishop, this board has a really weird layout but it's fun!
alright well I might have to rethink my vote then but I'll +1 this as well
I didn't realize we were allowed to throw our own into these..here's one I put together this month that I'm quite fond of:
Realized I never posted up my recent FMJ build on gh.

A bit late for this nomination run maybe (pics were posted in July though), but I thought I might as well nominate my Alps NCR build:

It's pretty much a Cherry look-alike board. It was built with that intent, but it uses Brown Linear Alps w/ red LEDs and Cherry Profile Alps mount caps from a Tai Hao FAME keyboard.
Also uses Cherry stabs.

Had to use a plate from a Acer 6011 keyboard to stand in for the Alps switches, but it also required using my dremel to grind out the stab positions so I could use PCB-mount Cherry stabs. It was brutal.
I also had to cut away the inside of the case to get the plate to fit properly, but then I had to go back and reinforce the case with some plastic ABS strips I welded on there with my soldering iron (and a junky tip) to make the case a bit more solid again.
I wanted to make a build log, but I didn't really take enough pics to do a proper photo log.
Most original build I've seen in a while! BEAUTIFUL!! Where do I vote?!
Am I allowed to nominate myself? Gon TKL with stock Gat blacks

I like the classic beige look, plus industrial-esque case :)
