Knee-toe!
I love external project boxes because they make it soooo much easier to read the displays when they are up close and in your face

I still need to make a project box for my 2x20 large-character (wider than my computer case

) and the graphical (I plan on incorporating a keypad...). Very nice overall though!

i used 2 little DC 2.1mm connectors (the same in powerplugs of cd player charger) to power the lcd and to connect the neon switch
