I designed this housing myself using AutoCAD.
The housing is made through CNC processing.
The top and bottom are of aluminum and the mid-layer is made of polycarbonate just like my other keyboards such as 2TU.
The PCB is called ps2avr MX-MINI designed by a living legendary in Korea.
It supports several combinations of layouts based on winkey/winkeyless combo bottoms.
Pics are from my blog: http://22gongbang.tistory.com/103

Very pretty!
Impressive looking case!
-
Wow, that looks really awesome. What did you use for the case? Seems like metal and acrylic to me. I love how the keys look like they're just floating of the plate, similar to Corsair's. Great job!
-
Love.
-
that is a pretty impressive case. How did you go about getting that case made?
-
I could be wrong but I believe that is one of GON's cases.

what are the quality of these self built boards like? Im kind of tempted now to make this a project. I just dont want to end up spending a bunch of money on something that ends up sucking when I could go get something commercial

The components are generally top of the range because they are made for very knowledgeable enthusiasts, and wouldn't sell otherwise.
The quality of the final built board is pretty much up to the skills of the person building it.
Every one I have seen here is absolutely fantastic!

That look like a GON's case, but i think it's not.
This case have little space come up near the usb connector.(i don't really know what should that called) And the GON's case doesn't.
And this case has bolts on all four side, when GON's case has bolts on top and bottom side only.

The quqlity, I can tell, is much better than those on the market.
This is a handcrafted work.

This is really cool! You've got dolch and everything.

Kaliet you're killing it man. The 2TU was amazing and this is just as hot!! Great job man!

That is for firmware upload using an ISP loader.

Awesome! Thanks.

Brilliant work! The off center windows logos would bother me, but that's just because I'm OCD when it comes to keycap symmetry.
I am in love with the acrylic/metallic housing sandwich. It looks incredible
-
whoa. this is freaking awesome. stand tall my friend, you should be very proud of this. i think if i owned this board i would spend more time staring at it than typing. it is just so beautiful.
-
Beautiful, love the clean look!

No, that is one of Kaliet's cases. If you look close the assembled is slightly different and it seems like the polycarbonate center is slightly different. Gon anodizes all of his cases too.
