I was just going to go basic with my 1k, i don't even like custom mpc's usually but i have an extra case. I'll be done soon, except of the lettering, i have two things i'm going to try, hopefully one works. If not, whatever, i had an extra case anyway. If you want to check it out, go here for my "progress", sorry to plug another site, i will post pics when i am done.

there's some good stuff there, talontsiawd - i may be alone in this, but i really like the look of the stripped out grey. like, when the faceplate's removed. all grey all the time would rock me.

for a guy that doesn't seem to enjoy customizing, loox like you do a pretty good job!

i could do them in gloss black. i could also do them taller in the back so they hold the mpc more at an angle.

I'm still waiting for Alex from needlewerk.com to get his in stock.
Not sure why they're not available yet. But he's got White LCD screens now...

Yeah and it would look crazy with white LEDs too.


Wish I knew Alex was gonna come out with different color screens before I ordered the blue. But I still love how mine came out.
All I need now is the wood sides and the black pads.

A red screen would look sick with red LEDs.

I like what poundaproblem did with his knobs and data wheel. The flat black looks good.

Here is mine as of a few hours ago. I wished i stopped here but got alittle crazier since. I really like it like this, i'm hopefully going to have a way to do the letters by next weekend. 8 of my pads are messed up so i don't care when i finish lol.


I started with a blue/red. I didn't buy a single part yet, everything DIY.

Start (i painted the pannels in this pic)
