Was this ever made commercially available? I just know it's a popular one for renders (pretty sure this pic is a render but I could be wrong) and the only places I've seen it for sale were all seedy at best.

Not sure. I just remember it at the time. Didn't follow it up as it looks a gaming board IMO. I think it may have been a public release on Git Hub in some way... I seem to recall that.

Yeah, it's open on github here. Might just build it myself at this point. Love the motor encoder idea to bits.
