This board looks pretty cool. I like the fact that some of the main shiny bits can be seen without flipping the board over but, also isn't overly flashy. I also think the curtain-like sides that drape down to cover the internal assembly on the sides but, leaves the back and area around the USB socket visible is pretty interesting. Never owned an HHKB board but if I was in the market for a new keeb I'd be inclined to pick this one up
