my new one (which is almost done...:)) is basically the same as my 
first one, which is like the one on the frontpage of this group in 
layout. i folded this case out of a sheet of aluminium; the main 
difference is that the case i've made now is less deep than the first 
one, which has a lot of space to spare, and that it has wooden side-
ends. oh and it's got the markings engraved in it's shiny brushed 
aluminium frontpanel. i've moved the tempo-pot to above the display 
on this one, but i had this panel finished before you put the tempo-
lock thing in the system. like Paul i prefer keeping the display and 
the function softkeys together. one thing i have noticed though is 
that i block my line of sight to the display with my hand/arm 
occassionally when i'm using the right-most pots of the upper row.
Buttonwise i'm sticking with the original design; i'm ordering the 
keycaps & knobs tonight, although i'm not going for the four colours 
per-row; just black & white. but as i haven't been able to find those 
specific keycaps anywhere else but maplin's, it may be a good idea to 
add panel markings. a track/part marking could also be useful..
