It's all very tempting, but I think I'll stick to finding a front panel I like.  I'm still not 100% sure I like the big knob on the Nexus, but I do like the Lost In Space thing, which, of course, is quite a bit more expensive!  I've been looking for a UK supplier that will do it for less than £70 (quite a bit less!), but not had much luck yet.  It seems quite difficult to find retailers of this sort of stuff.   :(

Not overkeen on that one, Bat.  I just want something with flashing lights!   ;D

I still keep looking at that Lost In Space thing, but my cooker need replacing, so things like this are going to have to take a back seat for a bit.   :'( :'( :'(

Well, I suppose I should go on a diet anyway!  I'll just content myself by sitting here watching my flashing lights, and not eat then!   ;D ;D

HERE is a nice LCD display that might interest you SImon, and it has a cool blue backlight too. Not badly priced for an LCD display  8)

Out of stock!!   :'( :'(   You can check for yourself if you don't believe me, here!   ;)

(Breathes sigh of relief and padlocks wallet again!)

In all seriousness, even if it was in stock, it's an £80 expenditure that I'm still not entirely convinced is justified, given that the PC is under the desk, and I would have to kneel down each time to look at the display!   ::)

I like this Rheobus reviewed HERE You only use a 3.5" bay that is almost always spare in most systems rather than the more needed 5.24" bays

Haven't checked out the cost yet Simon  ;)

Hmmm, can't say I'm overkeen on either of those, mate!  I think the Lost In Space one is my favorite so far.  There's a Computer Fair locally in a couple of weeks, so I'm going to have a dig round there, and see what I can find!  There was a guy last time with lots of modded cases and stuff, so maybe he'll be there again!    ;) ;D
