Re: LCD drive bay panels

["Matthew Miles" <m_miles@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi James,

I've been trying to sort one of these too! (When you get Asterisk set
up etc can you tell me how you got the LCD to display the stuff you
wanted please as i am unfamiliar with Linux - in fact if your using a
1 line PBX maybe you could throw a copy of your HD image onto a
CD?? :)).

Anyway, i'm straying again! Maplin do a matrix orbital 5.25 USB one
in a few different colors (code A45BG).  I also saw some at
www.modwarehouse.com (but their site is down at the moment).  Failing
these I would use www.kustompcs.co.uk - very helpful staff and speedy
delivery (bought from them before, but otherwise no affiliation)
they do quite a large range to suit all tastes and available spaces!

HTH,

Matt
