              one question, which is bothering me: the controller plate has spot for grounding (the plate was connected with the metal body before via this “grounding spot”). Do I need to ground it e.g. with power supply or similar or I can leave the plate ungrounded?

                Next steps:

                1. MM configuration & understanding how it works
                2. to shorten the wooden legs
                3. to order + build a frame
                4. put everything together :)

                  Dear all,

                  next issue: to reduce the empty space behind the LCD panel, I bought a 90 degrees DVI adapter. But I have noticed, my plug was DVI-D and I bought DVI-I.

                  Question: I don’t want to wait a week for a new one, can I remove few pins (esp. the 4 on the left) on my own? see picture below:

                  Thx for your help!
                  Regards
                  birdy
