where to buy cherry mx blue switches

[shockwave]

What's a website where I could buy Cherry MX Blue switches that are PCB mounted.

It would be great if they came with diodes installed, but that's probably asking too much.

www.wasdkeyboards.com has some, but unfortunately they are plate mounted.

I found some blue switches here, but I dont know if they are plate or pcb mounted.

the switches from digikey are pcb mounted
(NW in the end of the product code means PCB mounted, NN is platemounted)

The two you mentioned jumped to mind.  7bit has a group buy type thing going on over at deskthority, and I think you can get them through the GH60 Group Buy as well (which I think go through 7bit too... direct may be faster).

Another semi-popular way is to find an old board with cherry switches on ebay for cheap and desolder them.  Labor intensive, but in some cases cheaper.  (Heck, some people buy new boards and desolder too...)

mouser sells them in both varieties if my memory hasn't failed me.  You can go through 7bit, but that won't get you switches until nearly 2014 at the moment.
