Awesome! Definitely keep the pics coming, I love seeing the build process on CNC'ed cases :)
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

This is my first group buy so it feels like jumping into the deep end. I've been sitting here trying to decide whether I want to order the blue or grey aluminium case :-\ alixinhzai, since you probably have the best idea of what the finished colours will look like, do you know where I could get a full set of blank keycaps that would be the same grey of the case?

P.S. I don't have a Poker 2 yet, looking for one with brown switches. Does anyone know of a site that has them in stock and will ship to Toronto, Canada?

Thanks.

Sounds good, I think I am going to be down for a sandblasted purple.

This case + purple leds in a poker should be pretty awesome  ;)

i really would like it to be grey and not a blue/grey colour. Is it the same grey you see in this picture?

that grey would look good in a brushed look.

Hi I just put an order in for brushed teal with pink glossy plate.
Then I saw the pictures and the pink is much more vibrant than the sample image, which is why I went with teal over pink. I might want to do the other way around. I've PMed you.

note: should update the op with the new color picture

Hey I think I just received an invoice for this, but it was kind of out of the blue, and it's due tomorrow. Unfortunately my rent is due in two days and I won't be able to pay it for about two weeks.

I was waiting on new color samples before I finalized my colors. Were ten ordered? Are these going in to production now? I'd like a little information and maybe a heads up before I shell out $200 USD; sorry in advance if this is an issue.

It's ok

I can take order during CNC time bro. But if CNC end, I cant add anymore. Because It will go next stage (surface processing).

They should be, the 60% plates all have the same mounting points as they're designed to fit Pokers and Pures.
