I'm not sure if you need the LCD or any of the switches. just USB control should suffice other than temperature control which I'm not sure how you'd do in software.
The CDS site might help
just came across this page which shows mod of the 350D
http://www.centralds.net/cam/?p=1945
they talk about fitting an air tight chamber to the camera, cold finger to the sensor assemlby and so on. extremely informative.
I think they sell this as a kit.

FWIW, JTW astronomy sell a kit for the 350D that you can fit yourself.
its about 199 euro and I think is a very good price.

G'day Alistair

No I don't really know how the camera will work bare bone but in one of the links you posted on Rowlands thread the guy in there had a picture of all the things that could be removed with damaging the camera.

Thanks for the links I'll have a read

Jo
