wow thats crazy, looks great. i thought this was a long term project but its already done. cluster is easy, ive done a bunch and can help you out if you get stuck. just pull off needles, use qtips and acetone to remove the painted filter on the back of gauges, and then wire all the leds in on the plastic shield. i actually have a cluster where all the work is done except the leds, it has cleared gauge face (black w/white numbers), white painted needles, and ready for leds. you could use it for parts or something. ive been lazy so never got around to doing the leds. if you want it lemme know. maybe for like $50 shipped or something.

Looks good but how long is your startup time on the computer? You'd be able to cut it down if you used a half gig of RAM instead of a 1 gig stick, that's overkill. When the computer is starting up and shutting down (except standby) it dumps the information stored in the RAM to disc and then loads it again. so the more RAM, the longer times. Nice though.

As gizmo would say "bright light, bright light". Good job on the whole thing. Hope that's wireless keyboard. If not, get one.
Too bright for my taste though.

they are actually NOT AS BRIGHT AS THEY SEEM...its just the setting of my XTi.
they actually "glow" and you really dont notice as much as you think you do when ur driving.
and YES, they are DIMM-able. i tapped it in, so that you use teh STOCK DIMMING **** on ur speedo cluster.

What can I say? That's an awesome job! Everything came out good. The LEDS are a bit much, but it's hot none-the-less.

If you're thinking about a smaller wireless keyboard, Mad Catz makes one for the PS3 that works well in the car. Here's mine:
