You still haven't said what constitutes "better looking" other than not so tall. I'd like it flatter too, but couldn't find a suitable box off the shelf. One thing I don't like is the T1 LED sticking out. I'd really rather have a light pipe press fit into the hole, then the other end of the light pipe ending right above a SMD LED on the board. I looked into that, but couldn't find any way to do it for a reasonable cost at the expected volume. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
