<BR>sign, I thought it would make a very good front panel for something.
<BR>although a little big, there are plenty of sizes to choose from, street signs
<BR>for 1u rack units, maybe a no parking sign for a couple modules.

<BR>has anybody ever done this and care to admit it? it reminds me of my

<BR>No street signs, but I've got at least a couple bell atlantic signs hanging around. I know I've got at least a dozen of those "US property no trespassing" ones in my closet, but those aren't long enough to make into 19" rack panel. Those Bell Atlantic/Verizon signs on the other hand..nice 3/16" or so plexiglass, and lovely colors on them too. I just made one of them into a rack panel, and since it's just clear painted plastic, it can be backlit from behind. Finally something _GOOD_ related to verizon, unlike their DSL. They're almost the same height as a 2U panel, too.
