GON NS NerD Crystal TKL - Detailed Build Log
strict:
Absolutely extraordinary build you've done here! The attention to detail and the level of commitment (ie. gutting a k65) should be an inspiration for just about anyone. I've been day dreaming about picking up a Gon but was pretty set on an aluminum housing, however seeing this really opened my mind to the possibilities of a polycarb one.

Thank you everyone <3

Thank you Nubbinator! Hehehe, yeah the side LED's on the bottom of the PCB give off a much a cooler white which looks sort of blue, so there will be a nice effect once I finish those up. :]

Thank you! Yes, just know that the while RGB bottom housings aren't perfectly clear (maybe 50% opaque?), they have a special opening at the bottom to allow light in. If you have any questions about the switches, feel free to PM me.

You've done a great job :thumb:

Wow, I'm very glad you enjoyed it. Yes, the alu vs all-polycarb choice can be a hard one. After owning both I may be able to answer any questions you have about them. I will go over the differences in more detail in my future review thread, but for now please feel free to PM me any questions you might have. :]
whentheclouds:
what do you think of the POM caps?
t2russo:
Outstanding. I love the dedication to the theme, as far from my usual tastes as it may be. The custom polycarb screws really seal the deal.
You've set a very high bar.
hrinfinity:
This is absolutely stunning! Nice work on the write up and the pictures. I've only been using my aluminum GON for a few months, but I'd really like to try out the all-polycarbonate.
The visible logo on the PCB is probably my favorite part :)
