Don't forget, this guy has multiple of these (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?t=11957).  He may be in a position to retire after they're gone.

it'd be ironic if those weren't really ibm boards.

There you go.  Now that you mention it, doesn't say IBM on there anywhere as I recall.

In fact, it does say Rojon Electronics.  Probably some cheap manufacturer of rubber domes with lead weights added to make it feel heavy. :)

Noticed the description of the last one said about 10 pounds, this one is 12 pounds.  Must have found more lead weights.
