Some expensive ones from the US

But I'm sure I've seen them somewhere in NZ. Check PT0476 at Jaycar too -
its description seems on the money, but the picture only shows the back of
the wallplate.  You can always paint it black, as the Stones would say... :)

Well I've had a productive weekend...  I moved my myth backend into a new
case, and suddenly the quality of Prime improves dramatically... no idea
why.

I've also tidied the frontend machine up, and it now looks like this:

Yes I know the 15" LCD looks tiny up there... thats because it is.

Which leads nicely on to my question...  on the left you can see an ugly VGA
extenstion cable draped around the corner and off to the machine.
Has anyone seen a black wall plate with a single VGA socket on it?  How else
can I get a VGA cable up to the monitor?  There is underfloor access, and I
can get right inside that wall (its an old chimney.)

Composite video is not an input option.  Something like this might work...

but its big and white.

Any suggestions?
