    Cheers for the kind words mate :)

    I am using a great little DDE tool called Winamp Remote Control, it interacts with Winamp on the jukebox over the network. The IRC job I scripted was too damn annoying, and when I found this thing I just gave up on the IRC idea totally :) heh heh.

    Yeah winblows based, it does the job :)

    UD ?

    Well I dont have anything else to use (dont want to SPEND money on this thing, thus not buying an LCD). Also I have no real other use for the TFT. I would sell it, but it does come in bloody handy when I go to LANs :) heh heh.

    Hi

    Looking great !

    thought about this for a while too... but didnt go true with it , couldnt find an old amplifer that I liked ...

    but I had this in mind , you might want to use it




    For the big whole, in stead of a fan , get the Powermate from Griffin Technology

    [​IMG]

    Website for more information : Powermate


    That would look fantastic .. U can use it to adjust volume , or when pressed , pause/play , or pressed and turn => next or previous

    what u get:

    I know this is very expensive for a (lovely looking) volume knob .... but it really rocks ... it looks/feels so damn good ...

    I think its worth the $$ especially in a project like this

    Yeah, that wheel seriously rocks. Apparently it's great for video editing to move along at different speeds and stuff. I know that was off-topic but hey :p

    That volume knob simply rocks.

    think you should rebuild the front with acrilyc
