gotta love this display, its a 16x2 and the size is great, its 15/16"x3 7/8". for a 16x2 that's friggin HUGE. unfortunately its not backlit (yet), but i have plans to stick an EL strip into it to fix that little problem, so its all good. ok, here's the end result, i made a 2-bay cover to fit both my switch panel and the lcd into the front of my pc. kinda had to since the lcd is just a tad too tall to fit in one bay, oh well. and yes, i'll be replacing the bottom screws, i just had a brain lapse while at the hardware store and forgot i needed six screws instead of four, doh.
alright, as mentioned elsewhere, this mod is kinda unique (that i'm aware of), and if anyone can actually guess what makes it so before the next shot i'll be impressed. sorry, no prizes here.
