You can take a look here: http://www.maxkeyboard.com/iso-layout-custom-color-cherry-mx-keycap-set-front-side-print-blank.html

But I don't know if  the set are any good and only max 105 keys. I'm have some ISO/Nordic k - boards but they are 109 keys.

I used ISO/Nordic k - boards for some years ago but it is a hell find good lookin keycaps sets here in Sweden, so I'm usin ANSI k - boards now. Easy to find good lookin sets for that layout.

Here (http://caps-unlocked.com/iso-varmilo-keycap-set/) you can get ISO-Nordic from Varmilo (nice dyesub PBT caps). Afaik Varmilo also offers side printed, but it's not available on their site. Write an email to the seller and ask if they can order sideprinted caps.

I also recommend switching to ANSI (US International) if you're gonna stick to this hobby, much easier to get caps and boards.

Thank you both so very much :)
I think I will build my first board soon with the ANSI layout. Wish me luck :)

Just use US international layout.
All special characters should be available, if you're sick of the dead keys (like I am), you can create your own layout with "Microsoft keyboard layout creator".

There is also an IC check (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=92169.0) for an US-Int Dyesub set, which might be interesting for you.
