$20 B-i-N, might be worth confirming the action.

I have no affiliation with the seller.

I asked them if it works with regular PCs or not...

It has the LED panel and a purple plug, so I don't see why it wouldn't.  Shouldn't hurt to check, though.

That was quick.

Looking at that though, I'm guessing you didn't ask about the key action.

Not that I'm looking to buy it (won't ship outside US for starters)...

That thing looks like it might be huge, so you might have to get a bigger desk.

Congrats on the win/purchase!  Yes, please let us know how that works out with a PC.  I'm interested in knowing the size and weight of it too, if you don't mind sharing that information.

Unicomp production is likely to be the same size, but possibly not as heavy... AFAIK they don't publish such information though.

Thanks for the info, DW... that's not as big and heavy as I thought it might be, but it's still pretty massive.  :)
