No clue. I just know I saw one probably like this with screws around maybe a year ago.

GH should do an OTD style keyboard, I guarantee alot of people would be very interested in it.  And there is people now doing custom PCB's and Aluminum cases,  just need the right couple people coordinating.

Wasn't that what the Phantom was for? I think it will fit in Vortex's case etc, thus an aluminum keyboard (just like OTD) and can use original Cherry Corp. DS caps.
Edit:BAH! Darn you Demik, beating me to it.

Not 100% sure but you can get them for approx $3000 vs the hand coated Urushi version that one is about $5000, maybe more on the secondary market.

I was thinking of getting one myself right until I found out the price and had to skip it :P

The phantom is fine, what I mean is designing a case for GH.  OTD does it as a set and they all solder it themselves.  More of what I meant is a GH inspired case, use the phantom as the PCB(I missed out on the phantom) setup some kind of system if people need help with the soldering where that can be done.  Sorry just rambling

what board?  am I missing something in the GB section?  I know the phantoms were made and sent out, arent most people just using them in a filco or something or was an acrylic case made for them?

I was just about to ask where did you find that HHKB case, but $3000? $5000? Never mind. Even though my English name is Warren, but I'm not really Warren Buffett.
