Parts for my 66% board will start at around $150 for acrylic plate, acrylic case, pcb, zealios switches and costar stabilizers (everything except for caps and a USB cable) and then assembly will be an additional charge on top of that I have yet to determine, but I want to make it affordable.
...
I'll have aluminum plates too but acrylic will be the cheapest way to get one.

That's exactly right. I got my first samples back today:
Still waiting on the Alps plates, and I just finished designing the plates that fit the standard fc660m case. Tomorrow I'll laser cut some acrylic to test fit and then submit my order for those plates. I'll also be dropping the plates you see off at the finishing shop where they'll doing the following:
* 5 bead blasted + black anodizing
* 2 polished + blue anodizing
* 2 polished + red anodizing
* 1 polished to a mirror finish
Besides my prototype plates I've been talking to LeandreN about a larger run of plates, which should mean a significant price break.
Jokrik:
Very interesting!
Will be following this very closely

I don't have an acrylic board yet. This might be a good first one.
What does MX keycap compatibility look like for this layout? Pretty much any set?

It will depend on the layout you build. For a standard ANSI build pretty much any set with two 2.25u shifts will work. For ISO or JIS it's actually slightly easier because your shifts can be 1.25/2.25.
