Very good review, one that I have been waiting for.
Had my eyes on this product in early November...

The Serif Machine, or the Iron Rig, or whatever it's called, has a good chance of having one installed in the future

Nice review BA, very thorough and well thought out. Did you get a chance to see how the LEDs are mounted behind the knobs?

I couldnt tell from the pcb shots in your article

BigAkita · 18-December-02, 01:45 PM

They were mounted very sturdily and completely encased in plastic. There were two per channel, one on each side of the knob. The LED's between channel served double duty to both knobs. The plastic ring on face the worked well to diffuse the light.

Glitter, in your review you had mentioned being able to remove the screen printing on the aluminum model with a fingernail. Is the black model anodized or painted?

I'm asking because I have a black Lian-Li PC-65, and I could use one of these guys! I like the "stealth" look, and I'd prefer to have an unmarked panel if I went this route....

Thanks BA, gonna do something similar to that on another mod

BigAkita · 22-December-02, 02:46 PM

Blooz, the faceplate is anodized, and would very pimp in a lian case. You will need more than a fingernail to get the printing off the black, I dabbed a bit of fingernail polish remover on it and it came off.
