Hi, I'm quite new to this forum and this would be my first time organizing a group buy here. Pretty much been keeping a low profile and mainly talking to KL actually.
Anyway, I noticed a lot of you guys are interested in transformers keycaps etc etc and some of you have even bought them from Ebay already. At a price that i think is kinda expensive. No offense to whomever the seller is.
I should be able to obtain, actually, I'm very sure i'll be able to obtain these caps and at a better price than what's offered on Ebay. Seems really expensive.But I'm not sure exactly sure what's the interest for these caps in Geekhack at the moment.
Some of the stuff available is White on White Engraved Decepticon PBT Esc keys, other colours are available too, the cherry ones in the title and some other stuff including PBT sets etc. I'll post pics soon. Busy with work.
So yeah, KL suggested I do an interest check. You guys let me know and if anyone can provide advice or help me along with this, i'll appreciate it. Thanks.

I may be interested, pics would help ALOT
-
Yes, pics would be great. I may be interested as well.
-
Maybe, show me what you got.
-
I'm interested, post pica if you can, but i have see the transformer keycaps on ebay, and the amazing batman keycap for example.
-
Count me in.
If possible, I would die for a Grimlock face in robot mode.
-
interested.
-
Interested with pics
-
im in =D
-
Are you based in China?
-
Are you going to buy straight from Taobao and resell it here at a lower cost than going through agents like obook and the likes?
That would be awesome.
-
I would totally order some keys!
Count me in!
-
Interested as well!
-
Hey guys.. Yes, I know pics would help and like I said earlier, I intend to post them asap. Currently it's about 6 in the morning at the moment where I'm at and I only just got home about an hour ago. Looong day of work today along with entertaining clients. Don't worry, pics will be up in a couple of hours time when I get up. I kinda have to post them asap before I actually travel to get these caps.
And yeah, the first thing I wanted to do after coming home today was to play with my new toy for abit. Been waiting for this to arrive for a little while. Think you guys would understand. HID fanatic friend who was as interested as me to see the keyboard came over and helped take the pics. If you're reading this, I think you're crazy but thanks.

Talking about the Vadar plushie, of course =] ... I'll try to find time to post a review on the board after using it a little more. One thing's for sure though, the low noise has nothing to do with the keycaps. The caps and base are normal RFs.
(http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/855/topre012.jpg)
Anyway for those that asked, no, I'm not from China. I'm from Singapore (And no, that is NOT a part of China, for those who think that it is. Which is way too many people and who seriously need to read more about the world.). My name is Terence and I'm a merchandiser for clothes and a few other things that I'm not going to go into. The nature of my work means I have to travel alot. ALOT. And have quite a few friends pretty much all over the place. These caps will come from either China/Taiwan or wherever it is cheapest. If it's not where I'll be flying to next, I have friends who can help me.
For shipping, I will either use my own courier that I've been using for my own business depending if the amount of keys are worth their while or go through the post office. Most likely the latter unless some of you happen to be looking for boards as well. Sets of caps should be lesser than 20 per set and single/double/basically lesser than 10 caps I do not think will be much. I need to check. The caps themselves will definitely be lesser than what was posted on Ebay yesterday or two days ago.
Like I said, I'm new to this forum and in fact, this is my first time organizing a group buy. I do not even bother doing it for my own country's forum. I just help my own friends get stuff they are looking for.
I will post up pics first thing when I get up later. Prices will depend on how many people would be interested hence this thread. Some help from those more experienced at organizing group buys here would be appreciated. I have questions of my own like I if you guys would rather I send to one member in the states who would then mail it out to the rest of you or would you guys like to receive it individually. Also I know i'm new here and trust may be an issue. I do not mind paying for the caps first depending on how many orders there are but how do I protect myself in this case? Thank you in advance to anyone whose help will be forthcoming.

-
Interested! Looking forward to pics!
-
I'm interested, like the other folks :D
-
Are you capable of sourcing 87u's? I know there may be a couple people including me interested depending on the overall price
-
I'm interested... in both the keycaps & RF 87U. =P
-
I do want a 87u and the keycaps! I want everything!
-
if u can get 104u's i want one of those
-
Sorry about the delay. Work is crap these few days. These are some of the keys I was talking about. i'll post more up in abit.
-
Awesome, thanks for the pics! Looking good, keep the pics coming.
-
Def interested in the cherry key. What's up with the small table?
-
Interesting. It's a keyboard cover with it's "legs" on the sides, rather than the top/bottom like the ones EK stocks.
-
Interested in the Cherry Esc and the transformers keys.
-
Ohhh I want some Decepticon and Cherry keys! That keyboard cover looks interesting.

Ok guys, more pics are going to be coming up in the next hour or so. I might redo this thread. But as a group buy the next round with prices and pictures first. Big mistake on my part to keep sending pictures one bye one. Sorry, it's been a very busy work week. And like i said, this is my first time organizing a group buy. i do not normally do this. Just so happened that I was planning to buy the same caps for my friends and I and saw you guys buying it off ebay. 20 usd for a single keycap seems a little much to me. Unless it's the titanium ones.
I am going to be upfront and tell you that the goods will be coming from China and Taiwan mainly coz one side sells some stuff cheaper. Don't ask me why. Also would any of you like anymore PBT keycap sets as well? Or Poker boards? I might as well just do everything this work trip of mine and also to not make my friends do double trips as they are very busy as well and not into mechanical boards. They balk at me spending so much for my stuff. But what do they know. Oneness with rubber and finger orgasms are priceless.
Rough price for a Poker would be about 93USD for non-reds, that's my rough estimate? Would have been 88-90USD last week but the dollar took a pretty big plunge in the past 5 days. From 1.27+ to 1.23 now for those who did not know (I'm comparing to SGD). Shipping would be about 22usd. I need to check.
PBT sets just drop me a pm what you are looking for and i'll see what i can do. Shipping would depend on what kind of shipping you would prefer. I would guess 15 usd. I have to check again through the net.

Take your time mate ;) There is no need to hurry anything, and its actually better if you delay it for a few days and then come with an organized and highly planned topic.
What to offer? You can bet barely anything will be of interest in this geek-squad that is geekhack :) Of course some stuff more than the others...
Also, I don't think you should complicate yourself with too much stuff. Try first with keycaps, and if it works as planned, keep expanding :wave:
Anyway, thanks for your dedication.
-
Color keycaps (yellow, blue, red..) will be amazing too, for me for example, i forgot the last group buy :)
-
Frag: send me a pm of what you want exactly. i'll get it for you. Should be simple enough unless you happen to want some obscure colour. cheers. =]
-
Def interested in the cherry key. What's up with the small table?
You never fail to amuse me, my friend. Hahahahaha.
-
Can you get a noppoo choco mini with blue switches?
-
One sec. Getting breakfast for a friend at the moment. =]
Also I know I'm new here, how do we go about doing this? I can get the board first of course, it's not too expensive. Everything here is based on trust like my every other forum right? I don;t ahve many posts here but I've people from my country who can vouch for me. And my ebay rating is 100% even though it's only 80+.
Anyway, brb. i'll pm you.
-
If you start small, you'll gain trust pretty fast (a key here and there). Then you'll get good feedback and people will be more apt to trust in the future.

That's what I'm gonna try to do. I'll bring 10-20 each of what I think would be generally liked (Cherry caps and engraved PBT transformers caps which I was going to get for myself anyway) and judging from what people have posted here. If there are not enough, I can always try to get more shipped back through my friends to me for those that missed out. And I'm pretty sure whatever leftovers there will be people who will want them where I'm at. Or i can always just give them to my friends. I do not think I will be bringing your "little table" in except for myself or later on when i do gain people's trust and we can order together because that cover is not cheap. You scan see for yourself in the pic how thick that cover is and as someone mentioned earlier, covers do not generally come shaped like that that covers your whole board. Wanted to do an MO so that it would save some money for everyone but I do not really see any other way. Nice to know the people here are generally more understanding and helpful than in some other forums. Makes the trouble feel worthwhile.
Currently trying to reply everyone's private messages as well as contacting my friends about the stuff to order. Plus liaise with my courier though I highly doubt he would do it for such a small order. Not worth their time and not worth my money unless i have my own shipment of stuff to send as well. Not to mention I work weekends and public holidays too. Kinda have to when it's your own business and especially in merchandising. Good hired help is hard to find and no way will they put in as much effort as you would yourself. Have to rush quite a few things before I fly off in a few day's time. Flying sucks man. Haha. Anyway, I should be able to receive everything in a week's time or so depending on availability and hopefully no unpredictable natural disasters.
-
Keep it up man, but don't burn out! Looking forward to seeing a finalized list of what's available.
-
Thanks dude. Work has been sh*t. But well, in a way, that's a good thing or I wouldn't be able to satisfy my HID fetishes. Haha. I really hope I'll be able to get enough for everyone. Some things run out so fast. Some China sellers can be full of bs. One tried to sell me a different Topre before. I may be short sighted but I'm still able to count the number of keys in a board. Mock stuff are around too. Japan is much better (like duh) but a real pain in the ass if you've no friends there and can't read Japanese.
-
Ok, update for this "group buy". Sorry it has taken so long, I only just got back and I have been very busy and i have to fly again next week. Also I never expected to be getting so many private messages or emails from posting this thread. And I reply as many as I can when I have the time. I'm sure some of those I've replied to can vouch for me. Those I have not replied to, I apologise and will reply asap. It's only polite. Just give me time.
Anyway, not all the keys I posted here were available even though they were before I posted this thread. Funny thing is a few of them are totally gone right after I posted this interest check which on my part is a f**king stupid mistake. Someone or some people with access to Asian countries might have read this and found out how much interest there is and got to them before I did. I'm more pissed because,as I've mentioned before, I was just going to get these for myself and my friends initially. Never had I the intention of starting a group buy from the start (I know how hard it can be and how much time it would take) til I saw people like KL paying so much off ebay for the same things I was gonna be getting for myself anyway.
Good news is, lucky I didn't post everything that I wanted to buy and quite a few things are on their way or are with me already. Cherry logo keycaps were all gone though there were quite a number, a lot actually, available before this thread. But my friend is trying to see if she can help me find more when she has the time. White on white transformers ones too. Cherry corp esc keys, I managed to only get 20 and not all 20 will be on sale here. Priority goes to my friends. And one of those I plan to give to didjamatic for something he helped me with. There should be more than 10 left for everyone here. Also I managed to get some keyboards as well that some of you may want. If not, I would not mind keeping them or sell them in my own country or other forums. I will post everything I've bought so far when I get them which should be in a week or so. 2-3 weeks max.
The RF thread that I said I would start to answer everyone's questions, as well as the silent 87 RF review that I told KL I would do, I will when I can find the time after replying people's mails. If any of you want to look for me, just send a pm here or email me at awry.22@gmail.com. I will reply for sure. I just ask for your patience. Thanks!

Oh yah, would any of you with Topres want any of the coloured key cap sets that came out recently? Coz I'm getting a couple for myself from Japan. I ordered mine already but shouldn't be too late to throw in one or two sets with my purchase yet. Not cheap though. 1 USD is to 80 Yen as of today and the Yen has been rising despite the tsunami, potential radioactive disaster, weird people etc etc. Whereas the dollar... Well, let's not go there.. Heh... Let me know..

I'd be interested in those but just need to know which colors and of course, how much with shipping to US. Thanks!
-
@reaper: All 5 colours are available at the moment but there aren't many left except for white. Many of those all over from what I heard. It's 108 Caps you know right? I need to check on shipping. But how much could it be? They are keycaps. Not keyboards. Unless you're telling me it's a set of the titanium ones. Then yeah...
-
By the way, I may send everyone's orders if anyone buys anything and if it's a big bulk to my friend who lives in Virginia for him to send out to everyone. It might/should be cheaper for everyone including me. One 5kg package would be cheaper than five 1kg packages. I'll buy him lunch or something when I go over hopefully two months later to visit him. Not now. Weather has been crap there lately I heard from him. Freaking hate the cold.
Oh, first stuff came in today. Good timing. Lucky I was home or I'll have to waste my damn time going to the bloody post office depending which one they send it to.

Excuse the bad handwriting. I'm not the most creative person and this was just for fun. As it is, I have 3 messages I have to reply to as well. The cancelled part on the table was something I realized maybe shouldn't be posted. Heh. If anyone has recommendations for a good DAC for my speakers, please pm me. Thanks.
-
I'd be interested in at least one Cherry Corp key, if it's Cherry MX compatible and two transformers caps (Autobots / Decepticons) like the ones on ebay.
Cheers
-
keyboard roof
-
One cherry corp key for me please.
-
I'd be interested in the ESC or Cherry Corp key

To everyone that has pm-ed me, there are 5 more of you at least i think, i'm not sure from just glancing through my emails, seeing how many are from Geekhack but not having the time to go through them properly, I'll try to reply all of you tonight. As well as everyone here. Sorry. Some stuff were troublesome like the Cherry caps. Had a misunderstanding with the seller. And I swaear there were more before I posted it here.
Especially sorry to Ricercar or any who have been waiting for awhile for my replies. Very rude of me. Anyway, yes, i can get what you want, last i saw at least, but you really need to know the details. That isn't a cheap board.
Quick update: Friend in Virgina is willing to help but I don't think he really gets how troublesome it might get yet. A dollar or something for him to his account if you order substantial stuff or boards when I can finally get this buy going for his fuel and trouble would be nice. He's still in University and not working full time yet. It's not needed but would be a nice gesture. I'll feed his fat a$$ as a thank you when I go over anyway. This is only if it'll be cheaper than sending to each of you one by one on my own. I've never done a group buy so i'm not too sure.
@KL : No key caps for you! You haven't even given me your name til now! Or found me that particular KL key cap!! Jerk. Just kidding. Don't worry, your cherry corp's on me. Not because they were cheap or that I'm rich. They cost and are worth more than the Transformer ones, you should know. Hell, I would be using Akimate maxis instead of A5s for speakers if I were loaded. Damn, I really want those those things... I just appreciate you taking the time and helping me out with questions when I was new to this forum. No one else I pm-ed bothered to reply that time though some were online. If you've the time check your mail later. I wanna sell a spacesaver (Anyone interested in this please do not pm me about this yet. Thank you.) here instead of eBay and would like your opinion on a few things. Had it for awhile and yeah, it doesn't really save space and like you, I don't like bucklings. To each his own, i guess. Friend (Squarebox in this forum) here modded ergo clears for me to try on one of his boards. Good stuff.
I know it's hard to believe but I'm still working now and it's at past 8 pm on a Sunday. Peak period. And I fly again on Weds. I would take a screen shot of the number of tabs i have opened per window but that's quite pointless. I rather be here and laughing at KL's comments or RIGs' thoughtless ones (I'm a RF fan, of coz i know the difference between the key caps. Geez.). Here's a pic of my inbox though. Not sure if you guys can see. Obviously not all are from GH. Alot are receipts, invites for events and all that crap. Duh. But I've at least 30 of them to reply to by today for work.
I just hope this whole thing works out. Update you guys asap. Ciao.

-
Hey man, you'll be the first to get a \KL key as soon as I get them! The doubleshot group buy is taking a longgggg time to ship!
Thanks for all your hard work...just take your time. We appreciate it!
-
If Kl himself doesn/t not have KL caps, that's quite sad, bro... haha.. anyway you know which i want.. contact you later... my word.
Anyway, i'm already sending some key caps to this buyer. Nothing i posted here, just extra stuff i saw he was looking for that I had. Brand new unused filco caps original 87 set at 30 bucks. Is that too expensive? I'm giving him a free keycap puller as well coz he doesn't have one and I have plenty and I don't use those. It's the round ones. I warned him about using it though. Have to be careful. Accepting half payment first til he gets the item. And I'm pretty sure my shipping to him is cheaper than anyone else here so far. Registered. Will reach him in about 10 days once i get the green light from him and post tmr. If it's too expensive let me know please. Coz it's about the same price as in my own country. I just do not like the typical people in my country so I would rather sell here or Europe even though it's more troublesome. If it's too expensive, i'll reduce the price for him. He's a newbie to all these and just got his first mech board. He kinda overestimated his typing skills. Went for blanks. I not earning more from selling here. I just hate monopolies.
Update: I went to find out about shipping. It's going to be cheaper if i send to my friend in Virginia.
-
I'm only piss about the Cherry logo caps. There was only one shop that had them. And they were available before i posted this. Pretty much would know who is the ass ( can i say this word here?) that went behind my back and bought them out if he posts them for sale here or other forums. Like i said earlier. These were for my friends. I will undercut whatever he plans to sell in the future if i can find the time. Coz for sure he's gonna be selling them for a huge profit knowing how many people here want them. My friends really wanted those man. I didn't place the order coz i was wondering if anyone here would have wanted them as well. Not cool.
-
Also, there was one member that messaged me about wanting a nippoo which blue switches that hasn't responded to me after I replied. I'm not gonna go through all my messsages. If you're serious about wanting it. Answer my reply, Thank you. And another person that wanted filco zero as well.
-
For those that are still asking or reserving the Cherry logo double shots as well as keyboard covers, please go through the thread and see what I wrote regarding those. I ordered a couple anyway. They won;t be hard for me to clear if no one wants them here anyway. And i may have a cover thingy that you guys may be interested in and which i've already contacted the manufacturers in Korea. Not gonna make an interest check anymore. I'll rather ask the friends i've made here (be prepared KL for my messages, haha.) for their opinions first.
-
I consider nippoo's a racist term.
Hahahaa. i was wondering when you would post this thread. Wanted to ask you about some stuff regarding trading of keycaps and modding etc but after not getting a reply from you before, Didn't really wanna try again.
Love reading your posts btw. I have no freaking idea where you get all your vids from. If i wasn't so busy I would find the jap underwear vid i mentioned before in the other thread. You would appreciate the vid.
-
I asked for a noppoo cherry blues but I haven't received anything. no PM no email.

Wall of text. Also, OP use the edit instead reply to your own posts 10 times in a row?

Sorry, what does this mean?
-
It means that it's usually better to edit your last post and add new info. You on the other hand just keep replying to yourself :D
-
Just an update, guys.
I'm a close personal friend of Awry. He wont be responding to PM so soon because he have some personal things to attend to.
So guy please be patient and understanding.
From the guy himself,
"I apologises to those that are waiting for his reply and will be back later tonight"

Noted. will not happen again. But I hope you do understand that i am not doing this to earn **** and i do not know how many people here actually are willing to come up with their own cash upfront first for group buys. Nor i think you have any idea how busy I am, work wise. If i can save even just clicking an extra button to save time to reply to messages, i would much rather do that. til now i avhe not replied ricercar regarding what he is looking for and nor KL. i hope you understand.
Whatever it is, i apologise for my "wall of posts" but that to me frankly is not as rude as replying other Geekhacker's messages. In fact, i am gonna make another "wall" right now because most of the stuff i have ordered have come in. And putting in a long post of pictures etc and some of my messages are going to to individuals here who have helped me before and does not concern any of the things that i have posted. if it does irk you so much about my wall of posts, you can just don't follow this thread. I honestly did not know about this. You can tell from my posts that i am new to this forum. Thank you for the info. I will remember this. i'm not a troll like a certain member here who's nick rhymes ironically with the the male member.
-
Guys, most of the items are in. Going to post up pictures. i have yet to calculate my cost thus far as well as cost for my friend to ship to you guys from the States from Virginia. I do not know how many of the Cherry corp caps i intend to sell. Or how much to sell them for. i will out on sale as many as I can but I would rather give them out as tokens of appreciation to the peeps that have helped me thus far like KL and didjamatic as well as my personal friends. It's not about the money, i mean, how much could i make from selling a keycap alone? Anyway, the cherry people I've contacted do not have anymore even in the warehouse but will let me know should they find more. Pics will be up here by today to show i'm not full of it. The caps are really nice by the way.
@KL : Dude, sorry for not messaging you yet, been busy replying alot of people's messages as well as my own personal stuff. Drop me a message with your address. i'll mail you the cap on my own. Anything else you want from the list, i'll mail along with what everyone else wants. Thanks man. And i really do need your advice about selling boards here.
-
depends on:
- the look, a sample photo please!
- shipping to europe?
- price?
didnt read the whole thread, first post with all the facts ,please
-
pm sent =)
-
Waiting on pics. :)
-
Long night and day Here are some of the pics of some of the stuff that's arrived. Some have not in fact. Either that or a seller messed up somewhere. Part and parcel of doing these things. Yes, I do know pics are better than words. So here are some yah? I'm not gonna bother with making a water mark. I do not have the time. Prices and amount will be placed in another thread later. do not worry about the prices. Those who know from having pm-ed me know the reason why I started this in the first place. I'm only sorry to those that have spent their money on eBay at those prices before. Kinda sparked off why i wanted to do this.
Let Squarebox (My very very good buddy whom I seriously could not have done without, especially during this period of time ,which I am not gonna bother you peeps with, but tries to keep a low profile as well. Pretty well-known in the SG forums though. I'm sure some of you may have seen his Youtube vids as Undarken. Teaching people how to mod switches in his free time etc. Luckily We just have different interests in boards. Both do hate Cherry stabs though. Ugh.) and I count the exact amounts that actually came in etc.
Caps are all PBT. Either PBT Engraved or PBT Engraved with infill. White goo on the black one is glue but we'll clean it off. Not that many anyway.
-
One of Squarebox's cherry boards (WOW player's dream) and WnV board. Not for sale. Can't get the Cherry anymore anyway. Really hard to find. Pringles not for sale either. Finished in fact.
-
Are all the red double shot esc's spoken for? I'd like a few. :)
-
Why isnt there just a custom keycap store where you could just go: "Hey! I want this print on this coloured cap for this kind of keyboard..."
... A little bit like http://www.zazzle.com
-
Must have.........skull keycap
-
I'll take some off your hands if you have any left just waiting on prices. Thanks for doing this for us. =)
-
if you have any of the black on black punisher ones left i'd be interested.
-
Would be interested in price, and do you just have what you have screenshotted?
-
Put me down for a red Decepticon if they're still available.
-
A red autobot would be awesome for me. :D
Transformers, more than meets the eye !!
(http://www.abload.de/img/transformersu7t2.gif)
-
down for a one of each punisher, red autobot, and a blue decepticon. What happened to the purple ones that you posted pics of earlier? are those still available?
-
let's just wait for him to reply :)
-
I'm in for 1 red autobot and decepticon and 1 blue autobot and decepticon. Thanks Awry.
-
Can you list out what you have?

Lol! ok guys.I'm not sure if you guys saw the pics and the mess that it was in. Squarebox and I have work as well. And it's almost 11pm now while we are still doing inventory after work. Trust me, no one wants to sell these more than I do. As well, i do need to contact my friend in Virginia to notify him of the "bomb" he will be expecting. The time difference between where he's at and here is 12 hours exactly. We only met through gaming previously and only coz i'm an insomniac and a workaholic. Awesome dude though. All I ask is a little patience. As I hope I've tried to achieve so far, I do do my best to reply everyone. And I will.
The caps as it is has gotten to us faster than most group buys here if I'm not wrong. Would have been faster had I, along with Squarebox's advice (Knowledgeable fellow, too quiet though. Could probably disassemble and assemble a G80-5000 with his eyes closed. Ok, maybe just dissemble. Still... anyone that uses 3500 dpi and owns in FPS games deserves some kind of respect.) to choose what to buy in case people do not like what was chosen and yeah..
A little patience. we are doing the best we can. Thank you for your understanding. =]

Ok guys, finally, sorry it's taken this long, Squarebox had to leave a little early the other night and turned out quite a few orders either have not arrived or gone wrong. Doesn't make sense ordering 3 Blue Decepticons and only 2 Blue Autobots right? Not a big deal. Friends will help me look into it. This was meant to be a trial run anyway. I did not dare place too many orders. Here's some pics of the mess. Caps came in individual silver packages. Boards were already here, not new. Was cleaning them. If you guys can find the same magic sponge thingy, it's cheap and good for boards. Introduced to me by Squarebox.
Also I managed to get to the post office in time yesterday to collect something for myself and find out about shipping. It's cheaper than what most of you think to the States, same with the caps, and if I post out tomorrow, you should get your orders by the following Monday. 6-8 working days and registered. Considering the wants I've seen so far, direct shipping from me to you would be cheaper than sending twice by going through my friend in Virginia. A keyboard group buy or something heavier would be cheaper sending to Virginia for sure.
To answer some of your questions, no, the purple caps did not come in, one of the few 0_o?? moments I had. As for the Cherry Esc keys, I do not yet know how many I'm putting out for sale. I did not expect there to be so little left when I first started this thread. I will put some out for sure, I'm only keeping at most two for myself, but would much prefer saving them and giving them out as a tokens of appreciation/present/whatever like to KL. Something doesn't have to cost alot to mean alot. As of now, I do not even know how to put a valuation on these. Prices will be up in a new thread of what's available along with pictures. I brought back a couple of 104 and 37 sets in case anyone would want them. Those waiting Topre caps have to wait a little longer though.
Thank all of you for your patience. I'll do the thread up asap.

Those attachments aren't working.
I hope your friend in Virginia is reliable. GeekHackers might feel a bit better about an intermediary who happens to be a trusted GeekHacker. I would volunteer but I have too much going on at the moment. Maybe someone else would like to...?

Those red Esc keys are top quality! I don't know how you did it or where you got them but they look and feel just like vintage cherry doubleshots!
