That'd be me..
As Jesper has said ;-

I don't have any left unfortunatly, and at the moment I don't have enough
spare cash to have another set of boards made :-(
I will be uploading the gerber files in the near future, so you'll be able
to get the PCBs made yourself at somewhere like PCBPOOL.COM.
The chips I have plenty of.
They're not that hard to assemble, only needing a few parts and being
straight forward to solder in place.

I love the look of them, I bet they're great to use.
