I finished building it and it works just great. No component was missing. I'm very happy with having bought the full-size case. The DCS keycaps also work very well, but I haven't tried the DSA so I can't really compare.
The switches are blue and I love the clicking noise. =)
One advice: buy the O-rings. Really, do it. They are $1.49 for 150 of them and they give a very nice feeling to the key presses by dampening when you bottom down the keys.
They are on ebay and they are called "150pcs White Keycap Rubber O-Ring Switch Dampeners For Cherry MX Replace Part"
Typing is great, and I adapted to the new layout almost instantly.
I think I will build a second keyboard at the next drop.

andreachiEnjoy your awesome new keyboard. If you ever decide to get DSA caps, you may need to use 2 rings per cap.
Most of the keycaps I've seen, including DCS, have the little cross support bars to help reinforce the stem, and the rings will go up as far as those cross bars. The DSA caps don't have the cross bars, so the ring goes all the way up the stem. When you press the key, the ring sits too high and won't make contact with the switch housing, so you need 2 rings to fill the gap. The deep dish DSA caps are structured a tad bit different underneath and may not require 2 rings.

skrooksYou will only need one o-ring on the DCS caps, if you try to pet two one them then the keys may not actuate when you press the key down, especially for the blue switches as those actuate a little further down on the key stroke than the other tactile ones do, with two rings the stop point and actuation point on the key would be at roughly the same spot in the stroke.
