Klippe feels too expensive for for this topic tho…

Unfortunately, I think this may be the situation. Not sure if prices inflated or just bad timing, but all of the secondhand options appear to be a bit out of the scope for me on this project.

You’re right. Good call. I just love that case. Then I’d have to go with that LM60.

Interesting Finds & Heads-Ups

Talk about price pressure! Full CNC gasket mount case for a hair over $100. Looks like they ordered thousands, so unit cost is low. This is less than a spray painted Bakeneko, and half the cost of a Brutal60. yikes.

@skepp

If bakeneko is budget enough I would say it’s the easiest keeb to disassemble.

I think this one might be a decent contender.

Freebird60 is new to me as well and looks like a very solid possibility. Any reason in particular that you recommend using that PCB over other options?

The dz60rgb had a tab bit too much space on the right side which made the look of R1 off-centered. I just think their case tolerance is just super tight and really meant for their specific PCB.
