Should be getting a 3700 soon so I'll need a plate. Anyone else interested?

Interest

Can it be made to work with the other (http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/y400/kinran00079/36A30B7F702A5FD011C226E790F710D2_zpsc500b0d4.jpg) number pad that's about to start floating around?
Barring that, Could using this plate let me build a smaller, slimmer 3700 that takes up less desk space than what it takes up now?
...in which case, yes I'm interested. Anodized 7075 if you want to go exotic -- but 304SS would be fine too.

Forgive my ignorance, but how would a plate work on these units?

I would like to understand too, as I recently got myself a G80-3700.

This thread shows it pretty well

And The_Beast can comment on this as well but some modding may be required per this post

I mean, there's no flex on these units. Aside from being able to use plate-mount switches, whats the advantage?
Or is this a "because we can!" kind of thing. Which I fully support.

For me personally it would simply be a because you can thing :P :D :thumb:

Since it's a small board, the flex isn't too too noticeable. But the feel of the plate is nice IMO
Case modding is required. It's two 1/2" slots you have to cut. You can see it here in the plastic that separates the esc and the numberpad

count me in for 1

I'm in for 2. As long as they have the switch top removal notches.

Price depends on quantity, but my guess would be somewhere around $15-$20 without shipping

Bah, I should start an appreciation thread for plateless blacks D: though if you put something like clears or green then the plate is probably worth it
-
I found an extra 3700 plate when I was looking through my keyboard stuff. But it seems like there is still enough interest in this to run.
-
I would buy two of these, as long as they're notched and made for easy-switch mods :)
Thanks for running the IC, hope it becomes reality.
