i can see myself spending some $$$ on a rack kit, especially if it's done
right (if i did it wrong i'd still spend $$$). i'd spend about $50-70US
just to get an empty case locally, so double that for a kit (with LCD!!!)
is a no-brainer. i'll keep my EX800 as a table-top module for now...
waiting for updates in this...
when i made my FTB-303 i used back-printed lexan for the front and rear
panels. they kick ass!

those pictures were taken with a camera that uses floppy disks ;)
i think i spent about $150-200 for those panels, but having ten of them
made would have cost about an extra $5 each ($20-25 per unit). contact me
off list and i'll give you details.
