Buy.com has the Saitek Eclipse II Illuminated Keyboard PK02U for $50 with free shipping. Features 104 key layout, USB interface, media keys for volume control, play/pause and skip tracks. [BizRate]
It looks and feels nice. No problems with the key LED illumination (3 colors), but I had to returned it for repair after 9 months of use because 1 key was getting stuck. In 3 weeks Saitek send me another one, which I have not used so far, because I am planning to get Cyborg edition
I have this gaming keyboard and I like it. It feels and looks nice. The backlighting makes it easier to see the keys in the dark. I don't use the palm rest but some people might like it. It defaults back to the blue color everytime you boot up your PC. I use the blue so it doesn't bother me but some people might be annoyed by this. The blue matches the antec 900 and Razer deathadder nicely. I got mine for $45.00 with free shipping from newegg.com
This keyboard is heavy. The heaviest one I've ever used. The back lights are good but you can't preset them so everytime you reboot it goes back to blue. Other than that a very solid keyboard.
is this any good?

my buddy uses this one he really likes it. he he too had to fix a key that was sticking but but hasnt had any problems since then.
IMO it looks kind of cheap compared to the older models.
