[ALL SHIPPED] PHANSI150 Plates - Stainless Steel - SOLD OUT

[DanGWanG]

CURRENT STATUS: PACKING AND SHIPPING

Hello everyone,

I've got 20x PHANSI150 stainless steel plates.  If you're building a PHANTOM, this is what you'll need to achieve 1.5x-1x-1.5x modifiers with 7x spacebar like my mine below. 

Note:  The 4 stabilizer switches (Shifts, Enter, Backspace), excluding spacebar, have issues with removing the switch top housing.  This is inherent from the original PHANSI150 design.  Also, when you receive these they may come a little dirty and warped (weather, travel, handling, etc.).  Simply run it under some luke warm water and pat it dry to fix the dirtyness.  To fix any warpage just use something heavy to flatten it out on a desk or use the edge of a table to straighten it out.

To fix the 4 switches mentioned above, check out this video from WhiteFireDragon: 

Also, you can't anodize stainless steel so you have to either powder coat, spray paint or use electrostatic paint to change it's color.  You can also "blue" it, which is a nice black finish.

Price is $18 + shipping (international or CONUS)
Shipping CONUS48 is $6 via Priority with DC.  International is roughly $12 via 1st Class and only customs tracking.







Mark your interest via POSTING.  Don't PM me unless you have a question =)  There's a few reserved slots because I remember someone asking me for them but forgot names.

I was a reserved slot but no luck in finding a Phantom so you can take me out

Thanks bro.

[DanGWanG]

You sure you don't want one just in case? =)

[Sifo]

Seems way too hard to find a pcb so I've ventured into new projects :S appreciate the offer and for holding one for me, these are really cheap! Maybe later on if you can't sell them all which I doubt

[Acetrak]

Interested, please and thank you!

[Turbo Slaab]

Dat case!!!! :drool: You always have the coolest stuff!

[fruktstund]

Sifo, there's probably going to be a second Phantom run in the future, so buying one could be an investment for the future!

Dan, do you have any good pictures of the plate? I need to decide whether or not I'll need to colour it in some way (ie ask everyone I know if they know someone who knows someone that can powder coat or something). :>

[The_Beast]

Should have a finish similar to this:

[litster]

For people who do already have a phantom from the phantom gb, you might still what to consider this.  The plates with the phantom GBs are aluminum.  Dan's stainless steel plates should be heavier and much, much stiffer.  It should provide a slightly different feel and make your keyboard just a tad heavier.

[The_Beast]

They are about 1/2 of a pound per plate and surprisingly strong.

[fruktstund]

Should have a finish similar to this:

Looks pretty much like stainless steel then. No surprise there, I guess. :> Either it will look great in my case (litster \o/), or not-that-great. I'll just have to wait and see!

By the way, I think I read something in the Phantom thread over at DT that you could remove the switch top even from the stabilized keys, after somewhat of a modification of the plate. Can't remember what this mod involved though.

[leesofi]

haha good work, dan
but i need pcb first. LOL

[metalliqaz]

There must be far more plates than PCBs that this point!

[mkawa]

i'll take one bronies

[SmallFry]

I'm still debating if I actually need one... I may design my own plate and case... hmmmm but for $20. Can't go wrong. Thanks for the reserved spot Dan!

[The_Beast]

i'll take one bronies

Talk to uncle Dan, he's your man

[boost]

I don't have a phantom, yet but put me down for 1 ^_^

[SmallFry]

I don't have a phantom, yet but put me down for 1 ^_^

Something I have that you don't? Woah!

[alaricljs]

BTW - I built Dan's proto.  The plate is very stiff and heavy in comparison to the original aluminum plate.  If you're into a nice solid board this will help get you there even if you're putting it in an acrylic case.

[DanGWanG]

Yeah, it's super heavy and solid.  Weighs about the same as my Cheat

[DanGWanG]

Pics up later today and invoices/shipping will go out daily from this point on.  First round of those invoices will be tonight via PM =)

[esoomenona]

Will we be able to pay a little later or on receipt of invoice?

[DanGWanG]

How much time do you need?

[esoomenona]

Friday.

[DanGWanG]

Yeah absolutely no worries.  Shall I sign you up?

[metalliqaz]

"don't worry me none, long as that pay check show up on Friday"

In for one.

[esoomenona]

Yes, I'd like one please.

[DanGWanG]

Gotcha, added you guys.

Also....reserved slots 1 and 2 will be held for a week (deadline 12/12).  If you don't claim your prize, it'll go up for sale =)

[Dgsbllx]

How much is shipping to the UK?

[DanGWanG]

How much is shipping to the UK?

For a 1 lb. package, it's looking to be approximately $12 USD for 1st Class International (2-3 weeks shipping time, but I've seen faster) with only customs tracking.  Customs Tracking uses the customs number to track the package whilst still in the US.  That same number sometimes gets passed through your local (Royal Mail) post and can be tracked once it arrives there, but keyword here is sometimes.

[hluo87]

just wondering
can i mod the quickfire rapid TKL to put this plate?

[rknize]

Put me down for one, yo.

[DanGWanG]

That, I have no idea =)  You'll need to dig through the endless pages of the Phantom thread or ask someone knowledgeable (not me!)

[alaricljs]

Not as easily as just swapping out the plate.  Would require PCB modifications and modifications to the plate.

[SmallFry]

Dan, did you file your plate to accommodate the fixing of the switches that are problematic, or anyone for that matter. I want to fix the problems before I take mine to get painted eventually.

[alaricljs]

It's a straight forward operation, but since this is a steel plate it either takes a ton of time or nice tools.

Here's the pics and description.  Turns out only 1 set (upper or lower I don't recall) needs it.  But you either get a small file and a couple movies or you have a dremel handy with the right bit.
 

[SmallFry]

Thanks...I'll have to dig out some tools:)

[hluo87]

That, I have no idea =)  You'll need to dig through the endless pages of the Phantom thread or ask someone knowledgeable (not me!)

feng is selling the  Acrylic Case for Filco & CM Storm
In that thread someone said the Acrylic Case can fit for phantom....
any clue?

[bace]

damn that looks sickk

[jdcarpe]

I've been throwing money at my screen for so long for this. My wallet is ready, Dan!

[duq]

Hey Dan,

In for a plate.

Thanks!

[DanGWanG]

Pics are on the front page of the plate and closeup of the finish.  Sorry for the potato pics, daylight has left me already =/

[esoomenona]

Very nice. I think I want to paint mine a nice red to match the case and caps.

[DanGWanG]

For all the American buyers your total will be $18 + $6 shipping (priority w/ DC) + 3.5% paypal fees.

For all international buyers, your total will be $18 + $12 shipping (1st class w/ customs tracking) + 3.5% paypal fees.

Invoices going out shortly with jdcarpe getting the first one =)

[metalliqaz]

Paid with a quickness

[DanGWanG]

Quickness buys you shipping out tomorrow =)

[bavman]

Will you include a matching bare PCB if I chip in like $2 more?

[metalliqaz]

Will you include a matching bare PCB if I chip in like $2 more?

haha, ya me too except I can only toss in like 50¢

[DanGWanG]

Where would I get PCB's from >_>  Someone else needs to run a GB for that, soooo many people would want it and be sad that they didn't buy this plate.

[DanGWanG]

So some additional things I should let everyone know, even though I already sent out invoices and people have paid me

When you receive these they may come a little dirty and warped (weather, travel, handling, etc.).  Simply run it under some luke warm water and pat it dry to fix the dirtyness.  To fix any warpage just use something heavy to flatten it out on a desk or use the edge of a table to straighten it out.

OP updated.
