I could add a PCB only option.  However I can't do just the plate as the shop doing the machining is doing both the cases and the plates as sets to get me the low price.

PCB only would be really cool! Would this include hardware and stabs by any chance?

It came out really nice.  I'm excited to see it anodized.  Fully functional prototype will be traveling to SoCal Meetup this weekend.

Niiiice. I'm may have to do a purple case with a teal plate if you're still allowing that. How long do you think you'll have the GB open?

Yes you can pick separate colors for case and plate.  I'm going to run gb for a month or until all 100 spots are purchased.

Sweet stuff, thanks man.  :thumb:

First thing tomorrow would be checking this GB! A PCB only option would be interesting too.
