Shazza's Modest Mountain Mods Build

Thanks again for the kind words, all. And yes ... the Grandkids are visiting in a couple of weeks, so I think they'll like it. My other in-house critic is not a big fan of the red loop.


So - questions re the Aquaero: Disclaimer Here - I AM NOT the expert. I've wanted an LCD display for a couple of years, and couldn't even figure out which one to order. Finally bit the bullet on the Aquaero, and you know I had issues with the LCD (user-induced, I believe). That lead to more research and I picked up the Crystalfontz 634 4-line display. I now have it hooked up in the front bay, and the Aquaero is behind it. The Aquaero is controlling fans and monitoring temps. The CF is reading info from Everest, using the CF2 software. All this is not exactly straightforward, but is not rocket science as I figured it out in an evening. I have effectively turned my Aquaero into the LT version - monitoring and control but no direct display or ability to control from the buttons on the front. That's okay for what I want.

Do I have a pic of the Display in the case? Well, sort of. Apologies - just not possible to get front case detail and show the display without setting up extra lights - will try that tomorrow. For now, here's the best I can do:
