    @kiwijunglist: If I have time yes, but currently I have some people waiting for Auto3D bugfixes

    @azzuro: No this is no touch screen. I'm started working on an App for Windows 8 (RT) to control mediaPortal. Controling from the couch is much more comforatble. Eject is connected directly to BD. LED not :( (There was too much danger in destroying the thin wires flexible printed circuit).
    As the the red power led is always illuminated (even in standby), the blue led is an indication for a running system. And also an indication for a running recording, as in awaymode the internal display remains off.

    I'm not a designer, but everytime one of my DIY projects turns out to be really good, I write "Designed by ..." on it. Just like the quote of Paul Dilascia a famous software developer, who wrote a lot of articles for the MSDN journal long time ago:

    "If this code works, it was written by Paul DiLascia. If not, I don't know who wrote it"

    It's fine I will probably pretty much copy + paste into the wiki, you can always edit things later if you want to change it.

    This is pretty awesome. I decided to take some pics of my modded case (I want to get the engraving done like Marcus did). I know @vuego and some others have nice cases. Anyone else and I can put together a post for FB, Google, Twitter.

    That case (and the contents) is incredibly well thought out. I especially like the know-how about the inclusion of the separate amp for Stereo audio. Top notch stuff!

    Will feature this on facebook, do you have any more shots of your case against a more plain background?
