Thanks colin and steve for the replies. I think the standoffs i have coming should be perfect by the sounds of it, if not i was just going to do as colin suggested and use the case to hold the led's while i solder them to the pcb...i guess if the standoffs fit though ill use them for some extra support. There are few bits to go so hopefully another P3 will come into this world this weekend ;) BY the way how do you tell the serial number with the kits?
