Hey everyone!
I have been interested in mechanical keyboards for a while now but nothing ever peaked my interest and all I really saw was the gamer oriented stuff. One day I saw some cool boards on Reddit and I happened to look on Craigslist right as someone posted a white Rosewill RK-9000 with Cherry blues for $20. Just like that, I was hooked!
My Boards:
White Rosewill RK-9000, MX Blues with Cakey for an ESC key and Miami on the way.
ZZ96 with 67g Zealios, clipped and padded stabs, Geekkeys BoB keycaps, and Breaking Bad novelties inside an acrylic sandwich case. - In Progress
Upcoming projects for the next year:
Plank or a custom, handwired, 40% layout with DSA Royal Navy.
VE.A if I can find someone to buy an extra PCB for me.
I really enjoy the mech community on Reddit, but I get tired of everyone's Pok3rs. I am joining GH because I want to be part of all the GBs and ICs that seem to start on here and see the more serious side of keyboarding.

Cool deal, welcome aboard :)

Welcome to Geekhack!
That's an excellent deal on the Rosewill!
Don't knock the Pok3r too much, they are great keyboards! Very popular - sometimes a dozen new members join in one week, each with a Pok3r :)

Thanks for the warm welcome!
The pok3r is great, I just like to be a bit different!
I do have a few quick questions. Is there anywhere I can obtain a red DSA 6u spacebar since SP is not going to restock it?
Also, in building a keyboard that will be plate mounted (VE.A), is 1.5mm steel too hard of a typing surface? Would 5mm acrylic be a better choice?

1.5mm steel is pretty thin. I'm not sure which would flex more, I want to say the acrylic will but I don't have the materials in front of me to give you a decent answer.

Nothing wrong with being a bit different around here ;)
SP is the only company making DSA. If they are not going to stock it any more, and not going to make any on request, your only bet would be online auction sites or classifieds (https://geekhack.org/index.php?board=59.0).

I have commented on a few posts, namely the pricecheck thread and it shows up under "Show new replies to your posts". Any way to remove it from showing up there in the future?

Where is that "show new replies" link? I couldn't find anything on the men anywhere.

I blame these MX reds - I never did like them much :p
