Also, if you know someone with a 3D printer, it be cheaper too.

Or paint the og in black nail polish and with a toothpick, dip it in red nail polish for the dots for really low budget, spray some acrylic lacquer on top and should last a couple years before wearing out.

Green do you ever have issues when putting the 500 back together? The top part doesn’t want to sit flush w the screw holes around the midi and headphone areas. I had to put some pressure to get the screws in. Is this normal ? Do you have any advice on getting the case sit flush without add pressure?

Wow, its been years. From memory, I know you had to lift from one of the sides first. Like bottom first then snap in the top or lift from left then right. But I don't remember any pressure to screw the top panel down. Must be a slight bent on the face panel to cause that, but it always dropped and fitted in.
