Found some pics of Interzoo 2012 Vertex exhibit with the UV leds! Finally... also found a pic of what looks to be the final version of the Cerebra:

That was awesome! Thanks for the link, I met one of the lead programmers for vertex at the last MACNA and we have been emailing back and forth since then. Here is the last correspondence on the cerebra,
"unfort company that produced current PCBs can't produce the redesign.
so we have to switch the PCB producer, which is ***highly*** critical
in this phase. we'll see next 2 weeks what will happen with another 3
testboards. in case they can't do it, we still have about 17 boards
left that will be assembled instead.
we also ****ed one of the 3 working boards. so we have only 2 at the
moment. next week we see if the 3 testboards from that new company are
ok. if yes, the new company will produce another 17 boards; if no,
we'll assemble the existing 17 boards (from the original company) --
for those we need to do some ugly manual dangerous modifications. -->
that's like opening your mobile phone and try to solder some wires on
its board ---> time consuming and error-prone."
This was just before interzoo. There is no doubt the cerebra will be a sweet controller if it ever gets released. Based on my conversations, this project is being done on overtime where other projects are in priority. Heavy focus on marketing but not product development. I'm hoping to eventually get one so I can finish building my system.
Cheers
Rob
fitting them up on the weekend hopefully
