This is what drove me towards the idea of a modular control panel.  I've pretty much got the controls to replicate 95% of what's out there.  (I'll let you all know when I've hacked a CAT5 to make a USB compatable bicycle for Propcycle.)

Of course some people feel that modulars lack authenticity because they don't have any CP art.

But I don;t see any reason one couldn;t design modular art :)  MC Escher could do it....
