I'm working towards a rebuild and going with a larger housing and stick the internals of a USB hub (7 port) inside (with 5 ports facing out) and additional power sockets.
Feel free to ask if you have additional questions.

Did I read that in your new controller you are using the Arduino Mega? Do the Arduino have the capacity to record temperatures collect from sensors please on mirrors and a remote sensor for ambient temperature. It be really groovy if that info could then be displayed on the LCD/LED screen to see how close the scope is to equilibrium. Bonus points if the Arduino had memory capacity to store this info for later retrieval via USB or bluetooth.
It this project possible for someone with no electronics background? Thanks to my wife, I now have a New Hakko 936 Soldering Iron, and a Extech 300 Multimeter. Birthday presents.
Oh, I've got a
Orion XXT12 w/ the Intellicontroller thingie. I'm in Canada and the LCD is the pits in the cold. Anything under 10C and it falls to function. Do you know what the tolerances are on the screen you are using is?
Maybe more questions later.
