Title: Has a layout similar to this been done before? (compact full-size 104)

I currently run a full-sized 104 key, and use the numpad frequently, but would like to try a narrower keyboard. I'm looking for something that retains both the 2u numpad "0" and the traditional 2x3 Home/End/PgUp/PgDn block. I'm aware of the Austin (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=100883.0) which does the former and the G80-1800 (http://i.imgur.com/l8t3jdI.jpg), which does the latter, but neither do both. I'm basically trying to have the full 104-keys, but trade horizontal space for vertical space. The P1-P6 2x3 block is for random programmable keys if I decide to DIY this.

I've done PCB layout in the past so I'd be down to do some board design, but if there's already a board that does that I might as well buy that instead.
