Drats! I haven't been  100% paying attention to this thread and realized that people were selling their plates!

If anyone is letting go of a round 1 plate, I'd be more than happy to take it off your hands, PM me :)

I still have a few outstanding invoices and one person who has not responded as to whether they're US or international.  If there are any left over, I'll PM you.  Shipping to Canada should be in the $10-15 range via First Class International.

As for the outstanding invoices, I plan on offering the orders up for others to claim if they're not paid by this coming Friday (June 26).

Same interest here. PM me please if any are left up for grabs on/after Friday.  ;D
The Alps cover 65% of Switzerland's surface area (41,285 kmē), making it one of the most alpine countries. Despite the fact that Switzerland covers only 14% of the Alps total area (192,753 kmē),[2][3] many alpine four-thousanders (48 of 82) are located in the Swiss Alps and practically all of the remaining few are within 20 km of the country's border.

I should also say that I bought two for some reason. I only want one now. I'd sell my extra one at cost + shipping. Please PM me if interested.

If there are any left I will be happy to buy one, two if Cpt has already sold his extra

I forgot to add a "thank you" to nubbinator running this even if I screwed up and didn't get to participate.

FYI the plate doesn't seem to be compatible with the Pure Limited Aluminum Case. It's a tiny tad too big

Oh no, that is really bad news! I wonder if it'll fit in the Pok3r case, since they're similar in design?

That's strange...in which dimension? I'm pretty sure I used my other existing 60% plate drawings as a template.

This is an issue I've had before with trying to fit a Poker II into a Pure case as well, the issue is in the R1-R5 Dimension. It should fit in most other 60% cases though.

Well, stainless is pretty forgiving, and there should be enough material there if you want to have a go at it with a grinder. You can probably remove enough material to make it fit. I have one of those cases, but to be honest, I've never tried fitment with one of my plate designs before.

Got mine the other day. Looks great! I haven't tried it in a case yet, but holding it up to my TEX case it appears that it will fit just fine.

That Pure case must be really small.

Still have several outstanding.  First couple of people who respond to this post requesting a plate will be invoiced tonight and it will be dropped off next weekend (sooner if I can find the time during my lunch).  I believe I have 6 plates available and you can ask for up to two plates.

This is a great looking plate. The finish is awesome. Can't wait to begin assembly next week.

No, but this IC may interest you. Another Alps 60% buy is in the works, and there's a possibility that we may have a choice between AEKII and Dell AT layout plates.
