I already have a golden MSI GTX 465, I might need this too. For the completeness of my collection, of course...
The tiko, an affordable 3D printer.
They're $180.

It's on kickstarter, target funding was $100,000. They've almost hit $1,000,000...
It looks like it's floating.

I was thinking about getting into one of these rather than building one.
I see big companies being thrown a lot here in the Audio Section (AudioTechnica, Sennheiser, Sony, Beyerdynamic, etc...) so I thought I'd shine some limelight on the Davids over the Goliaths.
ZMF handmakes these beautiful wooden earcups with beautiful finishes. T50RP base drivers that's been rewired in a custom baffle and wooden cups makes his cans sound grander.

The Enigma by LFF is handcrafted with such artistry and passion, it shows in the product. This beast is a custom planar magnetic headphone he designed from the ground up.

Consider these work of art before splurging on the big companies.

Not overly a fan of the round wood ones but those last two are pretty good looking. I would never wear them out of the house but I would like a pair.
Royal Kludge RC930-87 55g backlit. Bought via Massdrop, arrived today.
It doesn't seem all that spectacular for $125, but it has seven-zone "all-color" backlighting, with some extra fade/switch features. It's also fully programmable. As far as customizability goes (which is a major feature, of course), in Linux, what you get is what you can customize on the keyboard itself, unless you want to dig into the USB protocol and figure out how to tell it other stuff. In Windows, you get a lot more flexibility. Unfortunately, the instructions are in Chinese, so they're not much help in figuring out all the keys... Off to the Internet.
Now, for the important part.
These are electrostatic capacitive switches, or Topre knockoffs. They also have MX keycap compatibility and backlighting, both of which are features lacking in Topre switches. As someone who's only ever used MX browns and rubber dome keyboards in the past (and maybe a buckling springs keyboard a long time ago), I was surprised at first how linear they seemed, and then delighted after a couple minutes of typing. A review I saw said the 45g version of this keyboard doesn't feel as thick as Topre. I got the 55g version, so I imagine it's closer, but I have nothing to compare it to. It is quite a delight to type on, at the very least. (I already like it a lot more than my Logitech G710+, to be honest, even without the numpad.)
There's a mishmash of build quality, though. The switches and backlighting are all well done (though I would have liked individual-key lighting, but you can't have everything, I suppose) - unlike MX backlighting, it fills in around the switch housing, as you can see in the first picture, so that any translucency in a keycap shines through. The keyboard case is nonstellar and the keycaps aren't that great. I already bought a set of white Vortex keycaps to hopefully improve the look and feel of it a little bit more.
