i just concluded the recent retrofit project over at AVS forum. On the 950 there is a bevel at the top edge and the finish is powdercoated. I would like to see just a flat faceplate with the anodised finish. For the project, i did both and anodising and powdercoating with the later costing slightly more! I could do this but the silkscreening leaves a big question mark.

I wonder if Peter would swap an AT faceplate over the 950's faceplate The 950 i'm certain is retrofitable with the Sherbourn or AT faceplates but i doubt anyone would sell "just" the faceplate. I should call the Outlaws on this....

Basically i just really want the high end look. I respect Outlaws approach to a conservative look but brushed aluminum is in and this "look" is what is considered high end nowadays. Even cheaper receivers attempt to raise their appeal factor by offering a brushed face, don't see why the Outlaws can't. I could even help with this if asked to..... Here is an example of what was done with the Antec retrofit project. Instead of a cheap looking computer case with plastic face, the retrofit consisted of a brushed aluminum facia retrofited to a good quality case. Here is one of the configurations (my personal HTPC)
