[/quote]Yes.  This is Soundgraph VFD working with iMON remote.
According to specs I have, It is similar to VFD use by OrigenAE.

I have almost all pictures [url=http://perfecthometheater.com/perfecthometheater/Pictures-2.htm]here[/url]

Look at them and let me know your opinion.

I tested eV and e7T.
VFD display in e6 is smaller than in Origen chassis.  Characters are green; 6.4×3.3mm.
Two lines, 16 characters per line.
Yes it works with WIN7 MC.

I added more pictures.  There will be some improvements to chassis you see on the pictures, like bigger ventilation openings and some construction changes to the body.
Any interest in golden color? 
I thing that only black and silver will be popular in the USA.

The case needs to match the other A/V components, so I don’t think there would be much demand for a gold colored case (never seen a gold AVR).

[mikinho]

Definitely agree with Andy.  I can’t imagine a gold color doing well in the US.  I remember seeing quite a few gold AVRs in Singapore and Malaysia but I think that market is fairly limited to Southeast Asia.

I’d take a look at a glossy white case. To match my Wii and XBOX. I think white and silver hide dust better.

The lids look interesting. Are they held down by those cam locks? I wonder if a felt gasket on the bottom of the lids would be needed for vibration.

There are magnets keeping lid in place.  However lids goes down if chassis is turned upside down.
I already asked for stronger magnets.

Do you guys thing that is should be second model without USB and memory slot in the front of ITX7 chassis?
Compare options, please.

[mikinho]

I do.  The less on the front the better in my opinion

[phoneguyinpgh]

I agree, if anything hide them with a flip down door.

If I followed correctly (e6V and e7T), they already do cover them with a door.  I think the question was whether they should offer another model without the door.

I love my Antec and think it would be pretty plain on the front without the ports, even if they were concealed by a door.  Plus, if there was a door, then my keyboard receiver would require that the door be permanently open.  What do others do with their kb receivers?  Does anyone run a USB extension cable from the back to the front and hide the receiver at the front edge?
