I'd love to see an easy guide to doing this with the Framework Desktop form factor. I didn't buy any of the silly little squares for the front of mine since I figured I could 3D print some later, but six months in still haven't gotten around to it.

Same, but the front is important for airflow in the Framework Desktop, so I don't think covering it with an e-ink screen would work. But maybe with some space between the screen and the fan intake?
Yeah, it might need some kind of a riser to prevent airflow restriction. Of course, I suppose it depends on how many squares you cover.

The other idea I keep noodling about is creating modular gears and perhaps using a servo for a really cool dial indicator instead, but alas, it hasn't made it further than my ideas bin.

A little e-ink status tile for temps, build status, now playing, or just a static label would be much more interesting than most decorative inserts
