This whole thing is awesome! Seemed like a pipe dream a year ago when I built my machine. The guys that are doing this - how bright are the displays? They don't seem to be backlit, so can you see them well in normal room light or do you plan on placing a little LED light near it to light it up? |

I'm planning on adding several LEDs to light it. An unlight LCD is very hard to read in less than optimal light. |

I found a backlight kit for this particular LCD, but it doesn't match the color scheme of my cabinet, so I don't want it. It's kind of a bluish white color, which doesn't go all that well with my black and red cabinet. If they come out with a red backlight kit, I'm all over it. |

Maybe if enough of us want some he will produce another run. http://www.techknowman.com/Kits/Kits.htm |
