            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
