For the price of GH60 & Caps & Stickers & Accessories you could feed an African family for 7 weeks.

Buy more GH60's. :P Also, you can get them for pretty cheap depending on how you pull strings.

That comes with switches and case?

I've had switches for a while; the case I'm going to build out of wood or plastic stock we have at school.

so.. you're doing the stuff you're doing to save $14 ???

are you getting 2 gh60 sets for $50?
Breakdown...
Case: Free/minimal cost, build it myself
Plate: Free (maybe), solder some stuff, have someone buy me a plate
PCB: Free, Help out AKIMBO get his KMini back
Switches: Free, I have them handy
Stickers: Free, I have these handy also
Lube: Free, also handy
USB Cable: Hopefully from MiMiC or buy some parts to make my own.
Keycaps: Likely a Flynn MY7000 set, with a Moogle/Tsangan depending on layout.
So, almost totally free. 0.o I feel like a freeloader.

Klaxon will never be truly finished.  It's entered the culture of GH as far as I'm concerned, like PING and oneness of cup rubber before it.

It *is* quite celestial.  On a related note, stop stalking me, hashbaz von hashington

EDIT:  Thought of another

Runs reasonably successful group buy.  Gets stalked by site admin.

Doing it wrong, my friend. I'm always on my phone. I'm on it right now.

Clacks are so popular, it's easy to pull April Fools jokes on us.

It's a pain to get images from Quickmeme
Luckily we have the F12 button for that (or Fn+ for 60% users)
Try doing it on your phone!

haha esoomenona - your post in the other thread is the reason I thought of this :D
