I've saved a lot of images found here on GH over the last year, and wanted to share some of my favorites with you. None of these images are mine, they can all be found elsewhere on GH (or at least could at one time).

Feel free to take your responses in any direction. Mine are mainly about the boards themselves, but you can post artistically rich images, or keyboards that you just like typing on, or whatever. Let us know why they're your favorites!

Would love to see everyone else's favorites

These three from photoelectric are what made me buy a Lightsaver and want kustoms in general, I think this may be my favorite board.

The After picture from Photoelectric's bent LZ-GH. The Before picture was pretty unbelievable.

Actually I've always admired Photoelectric's photos. The WEY and CMYK caps on the Lightsaver were always nice too.

I think they are cherry POM not sure though.

intelli78 · « **Reply #31 on:** Thu, 29 January 2015, 08:07:17 »

I don't think Cherry ever made gray blank POMs, or gray POMs of any sort...

If those are black POMs, must be a weird white balance.

I don't know who mtl is, but ever since I saw this picture of his keyboard, I've wanted it

baldgye · « **Reply #34 on:** Thu, 29 January 2015, 11:03:51 »

I love this Miami and this other Apple board, they both look really awesome... I think this was CBA's board?? I don't really remember, but I love how the pink pops on the beige board!

And this was my end game case, I asked the owner to buy it, but someone who had chosen another board he had for sale changed his mind and took that one so I was out of luck. Not seen it since and Gon wasn't making them anymore when I last asked..

(Attachment Link)

He's active on DT. His build log is here and he calls this the MX13 Spacesaver.. It came out of the thread Matt30 made where he was cutting sheets of stainless steel to make cases. A lot of cool projects came out of that besides mtl's like Zifle's HZH board.

I remember spending a lot of time admiring mtl's build log
