Hello,
I am wondering if the F62-PE found here https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=96650.0 (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=96650.0) was still available to purchase. I looked at places such as kbdfans but I could not find it. I also tried looking at ALF's site, but they do not seem to be selling and I cannot use geekmaker's site to see if it is there and the site does not translate for some reason.
Anyone know where I can find such a keyboard/case, even to build? And is there a name for this kind of case design? I like the black case found in the pictures in the link and would very much like to get my hands on one.

Stuff like this is typically 1 production run only, so the only place you'd find them is individuals selling on the aftermarket. Classified on here, r/mechmarket, etc.
I guess the design type is like old IBM boards, I think that one is based on the Kishsaver.

Have a look here (https://www.modelfkeyboards.com/).

Thanks for the link and sorry for the late reply, I just saw this.
Yeah I have been eyeing the F62 on modelfkeyboards now that I found it a couple of days ago,but it seems that the f62 model has some minor difference in size. The bottom wrist rest/bezel seems to be a bit smaller than the F62 PE found in the original post. Does anyone have the model being sold by modelfkeyboards and if so, could you post some pics? Also those are buckling spring keyboards, I know they offer the case by itself, but aside from the keycaps offered on modelfkeyboards, how easy is it to find different keycaps for buckling spring boards? I was looking at kbdfans and some other places but nothing so far.
