Hey, I might start spray painting some Model M's if one of you suckers pull the trigger on it.

That certainly is clean though!

Why not just buy industrial case from Unicomp?
"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

When viewing that page I saw this


http://www.ebay.com/itm/GIANT-aluminum-disk-from-vintage-soviet-ussr-cccp-russian-ukrainian-HDD-drive/321876130912?


Much more interesting.

I threw out a bunch of these kind of disk platters years ago.  Had the plastic cases too.  All gone.
