Hi,
I am new to building my own keyboard and looking to build a TKL. I was looking for a kit that includes everything except the swtiches because I wanted to get the new Navy box switches. If you know where I should be looking to get either parts or the kit that would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Pretty sure you can find everything on mechanicalkeyboards.com
Phantom PCB: https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=536
Case: https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_list&c=44
Actually not sure where you'd find a plate though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

MechanicalKeyboards.com also has Phantom plates in anodized aluminum: https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=2551
and in stainless steel: https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=2552
...and my universal ANSI plate in SS (says for 108, but can be cut to use with 104 and 87 also): https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=2554

Honestly, while you can get them without switches, you can often get such a good deal on the switches you would be smart to get them anyhow.
Last one I ordered, a complete set of switches was something like $14, I can sell them for more than that or just keep them as spare.
