Hey everyone!
I'm not very new to the mech world as I have a dirty, yet surprisingly sturdy model m at work, but I am very new to the keyboard enthusiast world. I really want a Poker II or Pok3r for my office at home and to use as a project. I fell in love with all the custom designs and hope to get in on a cool group buy that comes along eventually!
I'm the only person I know who is into mechanical keyboards (and really know what they are), but I hope to eventually meet mech keyboard enthusiasts when I move to TX, close to Austin. I look forward to awesome discussion on here!

Welcome to Geekhack!
A Model M will clean up surprisingly well. My first two came with cables cut off, missing keycaps, and covered in dirt. Now they are (although not perfect) very clean examples with all keycaps and new cables.
There are group buys all the time - bide your time, save your money, and you'll be ready :)

Welcome!
Austin is a great place, I'm sure you'll be able to find other mechanical keyboard enthusiasts! It looks like there was just an event there recently for Keyboardio!: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=72672.0
Enjoy gh!

Welcome MobiusPC. I'm new as well, but the people here are very friendly so far.
Btw, I am from Austin and just purchased a Pok3r. I introduced myself here:

Yeah I have seen some really amazing refurb jobs on the some M's recently!

Yeah I can't wait to check out the area. I noticed QuakeCon is relatively close to where I'll be moving (Ft Hood), and DreamHack will be in Austin which I can NOT wait for.
