Gonk, That looks like a nice job, but I have to ask: why did you need to mount it upside down? Why not just cut the keyholes in the top of the SB and mount it right-way up? R. -- robinbowes ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com

Thank you for all comments. The SB2 is now on place in the kitchen, see the attached pictures. I did two keyholes to mount the SB2 upside down - the display was turned 180-degrees. With a hidden power amplifier and in-ceiling speakers - the kitchen has never been a better place to enjoy the

So this is off-topic, but are you the same gonk as the fellow from the Outlaw forums? So I have now opened the SB2 and yes, you can rotate the display and the cable is just long enough. I had to cut two small supporting tabs as some leads on the PCB to the display got in the way. But there

I suspect you might need a longer cable (if it's anything like my recollection of the SB1 internals; I haven't opened my SB2 yet), but certainly not impossible. Someone in another thread was looking for (and found, ISTR) a longer display cable for use in a custom case. -- Fifer

It's just long enough, assuming you fold it carefully. (For some number of early SB2s, the connector was placed incorrectly on the board and we had to fold the cables by hand.) On Aug 9, 2005, at 1:38 PM, Jim Dibb wrote: That ribbon cable looks too short to twist. On 8/9/05, JJZolx
