[quote user="Blackrix"]So a lot of screws are missing, other screws are in the wrong place, screws are even missing on parts that did not even have a defect, the plastic surroundings of the glass panels were glued to the chassis (yeah, like that will hold the glass panels in place......). What was this "technician" thinking? I know

Have you spoken to Martin? One thing you might want to consider is... If you really struggle I think it is Joeyboygolf who wants an arm for a 4000 maybe the pair of you could wait for a battered 4000 on ebay. Then if that part is ok you could make a deal with him?

You could pull it off, IMO it would have to be a clever design, contemporary (no camouflage patterns!) and ideally quite simple.

Wow I might just be persuaded to purchase an apple product yet Amazing Lee!

I agree that the inner display frame should be left alone. Beo4 no. 2 looks great without white frame except the lines down either side they are too much I think - white is best.
