Guys,
Can we move this discussion away from who loves who, and who doesn't want to be someone's boyfriend, and back onto the Bushmaster? Ta!

I don't know Marco, such storylines might well attract a younger, female demographic...Originally Posted by Marco

The DAC is already shipping to a few people outside EuropeMay well be that all this messing around with front panels will hold up productionWhat do you want, your own take on the panel, or a working DAC as quick as possible?
The casework is not off the shelf, but one that a friend and me designed. I used a program called Front panel designer to do the layout, positioning of the holes, and the recessed bits. The Gerber files were then used by a local laser cutting factory to cut the panels and make the recessed holes. It didn't come cheap. Of course they can cut more complicated patterns etc., but that only adds to the cost. But it is now at least easier for anyone with better skills than me to design their own fascia, send it to www.frontpanelexpress.com, and swap it over with the existing one. You only need to make sure that the various holes are in the exact position as before.

Surrealism might work Gary. Perhaps someone with more talent than my humble self could mock up a Dali'esque front panel for the Bushmaster...

Don't you just hate it when you cannot detect where the post ends and a signature line begins?
