Hi All, 2nd post. Kind of resigned to the fact that if I want that custom layout I'm going to have to make it myself. Been looking around at DIY mechanical kits and finding it hard to find ones that are 80% keyboard PCB and are still in stock. I'm a programmer so I kinda need those function keys so I really can't settle for a Satan 60% unfortunately. I've come across the XD87 PCB however I don't know if it will support single colour or RGB key lighting, would also prefer if it was type-c connection. Can anyone help me out in my search??
I'm a first time builder and am looking into building a 80% but cant find cases, is there anywhere I should be looking?

Hi everyone!
I'm fairly new to the world of custom mechanical keyboards and am thinking about building my first own keyboard. I want to do a 80% keyboard and already found switches, some PCBs and Keycaps. But I cant find a nice case for 80% Keyboard builds. A case that I like is this one: KBD75v2 But that's only available as a 75% percent. So if anyone can suggest a good case for about 120€ or less, made of aluminum, please let me know!
EDIT: Since u/elmurfudd kindly explained that 80% Keyboards are not standardized like 60% Keyboards I believe a more accurate request for suggestions would be: Can anyone recommend a good non-hotswappable 80% case & PCB kit without switches, that's made of aluminum?
