    If you sell already-modded NGPC, I would certainly buy one.

    Stealth dimmers were what they were called in the Afterburner days, the V3 was the most popular.

    Do you know where I could find the hex of such a thing? It looks like just a small PIC or something, I could program it sure, I just need the file.

    Yup. that's right. I couldn't remember. Though it was really just a PIC microcontroller. Anyways, much slicker than a knob.
