Thanks! I appreciate that.
My friend Richard Nagy aka Datamancer passed away in Nov. It was a suicide even though it was reported to be a traffic accident. His company is still trying to stay afloat without him. We worked together on his art deco keyboard designs.

Thanks for the comments guys! I designed and built this piece. I don't sell my work because I consider it a hobby not a business. Sadly, people are no longer willing to pay the price for a product not made in China.

Nice video. I made the Wall Street Journal a couple of months ago with the Decomatic HTPC. They talked in the article about the Intel contest and the winner but instead of showing a picture of the winners they showed the Decomatic and Argon Skull instead. No words...just picture. I'd rather...
I'm from Gainesville originally. I visit there often especially to get supplies for my projects. I have several friends in G'ville who are professional cabinetmakers. They help me/harass me whenever needed or required. lol
Come on guys! Are you gonna let some blinky-lighted piece of crap plastic beat up on an classically-styled art deco piece?

Thanks for the input.
