Hi,

I am building a NuXT 2.0 Turbo XT system, and have bought an IBM emblem for the case. But, now I see it on the case (not stuck yet), I think it may be too big.

What are your thoughts? Should I order a smaller one? Also would silver or white be a better choice than the gold I went for here?

I have black IBM keyboard and mouse to go with this.

I haven't put anything in the case yet, but there will be 3.5" 1 44mb and 5.25" 360k drives added (both are black).

Yes too big I think, it should be half that size. And if it was me I'd get a blue logo - they are "big blue" after all and it would go nicely with the blue in the USB ports on the other side.

Yeah, I like the blue! Only issue though, is it's very different to the colours on my keyboard & mouse. I have 1 mouse with white logo. And two keyboards. One in white, and one in Silver:

Looks like they dont go as small as half, and they dont have white. The smallest they have is 3/4 of the size I have in silver or gold.

Or they have this style which is slightly smaller than what I have, but bigger than the 3/4 size ones:

Thanks. Yeah, I have ordered the silver. Same style as what I have now, but smaller.
