[QUOTE="2.0, post: 1059089, member: 118263"] Whoever put "Missing steps to reproduce" on that photo... :p To get back on subject, I had a thought about the light on the case. Back in the day before the on-screen display was invented, VCRs had a row of lights on the front to indicate what it was doing (Play, Rewind, etc.) I used this same idea to create a LED light box for my HTPC. It has a row of four LEDs of different color which light up to indicate the status (power, record, network activity, file transfer) and these lights flash to indicate an error. I find this very useful to see what's going on even when my TV is switched off. Although a row of LEDs would look out of place on the kind of elegant case being proposed here, could it at least have some kind of illuminated visual indicator? For example, whatever kind of light you decide to use could change to a different color or flash depending on the status of the HTPC. I just don't don't know what kind of parts can be used to accomplish this. [/QUOTE]
