I don't know if you can tell from the picture on the back side of the bezel, but the edge is mitered about a 1/8". The whole bezel should be beveled, but since I cut off and used only the bottom half of the LC 575 bezel, it's not mitered around the top half so it doesn't quite fit when placed in.

I think the two paleolithic 15" AIOs I've been toying around with must be 575s, can't remember offhand, looks kinda like a Big@$$ StereoCC w/wings?

Have you got any adapters to mount your dremel to a board for a micro-router-table setup?

I'll start a "Hacks" thread w/pictures of what I did and how I home-brewed a router table to rabbet some plastics the way you appear to need to do. Just gotta right-(down)-size some 10 MP piccies of the two projects.

When I try to upload/downsize on ImageShack I ge . . . :simasimac:

Anybody know of a light-weight GraphicConverter type image editor for ubuntu on a 2GB RAM upgraded NetBook?

Methinks the GIMP's still a tad out of reach for my Mini. ::)
