You could get this and I would highly suggest the 103.

http://www.pckeyboard.com/page/Classic/UNI044A (USB)
or
http://www.pckeyboard.com/page/Classic/UNI0446 (PS/2)

You can convert it to 103 easily for $3 more by just ordering this...

http://www.pckeyboard.com/page/Buttons/SB

Select the Large Pearl. 

When you get the keyboard, remove the small spacebar and right window key.  Replace that with the large spacebar.

This thread gives a bit more information:

If you are really ambitious, like me, you will get the white LED overlay too.  (Another $1.50)

Select Pearl, LED's on top.

When you are done doing this little project, your keyboard would look like this:



Welcome to buckling spring keyboards!

Edit: Not too bad for under $100.

There's the Ducky Shine 4, Matias Tactile Pro (the white one is designed for a Mac but will work with Windows just fine), and Keycool 108. The Shine is fully backlit, the Keycool is only backlit on some of the keys, and the Matias has none. Keep in mind, you don't need to use the backlighting at all if you don't want.

Hey njbair!  Yeah, I am having a mental breakdown right now.  This person doesn't want a Buckling Spring keyboard, they want a mechanical keyboard.

I am going to take a break for a while. I guess I'll find a mechanical keyboard somewhere around here.  No worries.

Edit: All I found were a bunch of these things...  (This is an older picture...)


The one I am using can be found in it too!  Amazing!

To answer OP's question, I have a white Noppoo EC108-Pro, Topre-clone switches with MX-compatible stems. It is a very nice board, and it's milk white. Highly recommend the 45g weight.

Yeah, when you do your best to help someone, having all the information in the beginning would be nice to have before going to all the trouble to helping them.
