Hmmm...

Black mods, white alphas on a white board sounds awesome to me, although I could also go for navy mods...

Buying more keycaps,
it really hacks my wallet,

My favourite colour combination, though, is a combination of white, orange and black or grey. So I'd probably buy the Hack'd by Geeks set to put on a white board :)

White/grey keycaps imo, e.g. HHKB Pro 2 white layout

Most sets go very well with a white case.

My KeyCool has white case, and white PBT keycaps.  Looks very clean.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Definitely white. White on white keyboards have a very nice clean look to them. White is chique without being presumptious, tasteful without being shouty.

White on white and black on white are both really nice combinations. White on white is nice if your going for a really clean look, the contrast of black on white, like demik's above, can also be really cool.

I also really like the look of black on black. Pain to photograph though.

I'm trying to decide whether i want to flip my black 87u and buy a white one or just get a blue set of keycaps for the black one. Unfortunately i don't like the white/grey though and everyone seems to be hoarding there all white 87u.
