FC200R

http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=47497.0

65+shipping from this guy who just poted it up.


There is a new version FC700R which will cost you around $140-150 shipped,

but if you don't care about case color

QFR sometimes are seen at $35-45 and you can obtain white keycaps at $30-40 on Signature plastics

Wait, are you trying to buy them or just asking for help?

And maybe a FC700R? But why can't you just get keycaps from SP that are black on white or just blank white? Or look for old Cherry sets that are Black on Beige/White.
