Been sitting on this build a while, but I finally put it together last night.
NERD 60 PCB
Invyr Panda linears
Aliexpress Zebrawood case
GMK Monkey Keycaps
Orange backplate from Sentraq
Orange 1.8mm leds
Yes, its the:

I had my reservations about the panda switches when I first got them a while back. I was not impressed by the smoothness of the switch as compared to my favorite, Gateron blacks. But the switches have grown on me. I do like the heaviness.
Weird issue though, I've had 2 switches develop a squeak. I swapped one out completely but now that a second has started to make noise, it looks like I'm going to have to open it up and see what is going on. Anyone have suggestions? I haven't been following the GB thread closely enough to know if it is a common issue.
The case is amazing for the price, and I recommend it highly. They were selling recently on ebay as well, but just search on Aliexpress for GH60 case and you'll find many listings. I believe I paid $44 with free shipping. It looks like $100 easily.
More pics for ya:

Sweet combo :thumb: The wood case is a nice match for the the orange monkey caps.

Thanks. Just worried about the switches squeaking. That would certainly be the C-C-C-COMBO breaker!
