I have to say, that's the one thing I miss now that I've got the home docking stations: No ethereal blue glow radiating from the back of the player.



When I built my home docking station, I seriously considered (and still am considering), using a small plastic "light guide" to bring the blue LED to the rear of the docking station near where the Ethernet jack is from the back of the player.

This would not just be for practical reasons of verifiying that the ethernet link is active (as its original purpose was), but also for that nice blue glow at the back when its connected to the network.
