I was checking to see if anyone else had some interest in the layout I'm looking to use so maybe we could get a price break from http://www.bigbluesaw.com. To be totally honest I won't want to manage a big GB, I just want to hit the 5-9 pieces so that the price break kicks in so I would probably cap this at 8 people (plus myself).I've uploaded everything to the Big Blue Saw site already, here are the links to the initial quotes I had come up with:
Switch plate ($31.68): https://www.bigbluesaw.com/index.php?op ... xf&step=20
Open case ($14.12): https://www.bigbluesaw.com/index.php?op ... xf&step=20
Closed case ($14.16): https://www.bigbluesaw.com/index.php?op ... xf&step=20
Base plate ($19.74): https://www.bigbluesaw.com/index.php?op ... xf&step=20
The actual keyboard layout looks like this:

The switch plate and base plate would be aluminum (bare finish), the middle sections would be clear acrylic and be made up of two parts, one with a cutout for the USB plug and the other without. The idea is you'll end up with four pieces (one of each). The screw holes are 2mm. This is really a bare-bones type of design as I didn't want to dump a fortune into my first attempt at this so please keep that in mind.
The estimated shipping if we maxed out at 9 orders would be ~$20 total so ~$2 per person bringing the parts total to $81.70. Assuming everyone is in the states I could probably fit each set into a flat rate USPS box for $12.65 which means the final shipped price would be $94.35. If you are outside of the states I'd have to do a bit of research as to what is the easiest/cheapest way to get everything to you, probably fedex/ups though.
So... Anyone interested?
