Was hoping to snag it for myself but it'll probably go far beyond my budget. :(

I would have fought for it if it were black/pom.

I was planning to bid on it but forgot while browsing the internet and was half a minute too late...

SAME HERE, NO JOKE

I was on this page for 6 hours prior to the end too.  I had it on the whole time.

I bid on it but as soon as it hit over $50 I was out. I'm sure I'll find one for cheap one day.

Problem for me is the non-standard top two rows, which makes it worth less if you're bidding on it partly for the keys.

Yeh it only has B,C,D row profiles. It's not that annoying to type on though really. I guess they did it to keep it low enough to slide inside a 1u rackspace.
