The biggest hurdle with using a projector as a dynamic backlight mask is handling the edge alignment and diffusion to avoid those noticeable halo or blur artifacts where the sharp backlight edges don't perfectly line up with the front LCD panel.Testing the light map or rendering out custom mask prof...

One thing I'd suggest is checking the alignment of every socket before soldering them all in. Even a tiny bit of misalignment can make switch installation a pain later. I also like to test each key with a keyboard tester before putting the case back together - it saves a lot of time if something nee...

One thing I'd suggest is experimenting with different mounting surfaces, since the material makes a huge difference to the sound. I've found that even changing the panel thickness or adding a bit of damping can noticeably improve the overall tone. Looking forward to hearing how yours turns out.

@imp-inventor @wecan (I think that's the right handle, darn me and my blithering) hopefully should haves some field experience with it.There's no such thing as noiseless in electronics (that would require physics to break and that's not on anyone's bingo card).Michelle has a LOT of features that are...

Mostly noise (S/N) which is definitively better, particularly at larger gains.It's also USB-C (running at 12 MBPS) so everything is on the board. It doesn't have a monitor because I never added one (cost overruns and such).And now my Apple Watch has conked. How am I going to tell the time now?

One thing I'd add is to leave a bit of room in your budget for future upgrades instead of spending everything on one component. A solid motherboard and quality power supply can make upgrading later much easier, and don't forget to check RAM compatibility before you buy.
