Cool! Looks interesting, but it is a bit dark to really see how it is mounted... Is the LCD mounted seperatly from the grating or is it part of the grating?

Finished the write-up for part 1 - http://www.icehardware.net/guides/lcd_stand_pt1/ should answer your question specialk :grin:

Something else I've been playing with... it fairly easy to make the wire mess do pretty things so I'm going to do a nice logo on the back :grin:

Just have to decide what to write now :grin:

Very cool... I really do like the multi-colored effect :smile:
The only issue I can see is that the LED that is side-lighting the display seems too bright (in other words, the text seems washed out on the left while clear on the right).

That's just the way the picture was taken... it's hard enough to take a picture of a bright LCD when it's the only thing in the shot - but with the stand LED's it became almost impossible. I promise it looks fine in person :grin:

Found the nicest aluminium switch (above) - the outline is lit by with either a red or green LED :smile:
