	The 1st frame is fairly progressed now posted by Ulrich Beckers on 2nd July 2007 Okay,I am ways behind my timeline, but some progress has been made recently. The rather simple case is fairly progressed, hope to finish it the comig weekend, but maybe I need another weekend for that. Time was *very* short the last weeks (lots of work, sports and some other things). The overall dimensions of the frame are 54 x 255 x 312mm. I would have loved to reduce the thickness, and thought aboout resoldering the NIC/usb connector, but it would have gained close to nothing, unless I had also changed the agp riser and that was to much effort for now. I still have to finish the case surface, do the integration of power/hd LEDs (with Swarovski crystals), also I need to add the LCDs power circuit and find a way to attach a passive cooler (no mounting holes) to one of the LCD controller chips and do the internal VGA connection. I also guess a switch to turn off the LCD only might be handy, should add that as well. I really hope to finish the device before (hopefully) going on on a vacation in about two weeks.
