 I already have a design for the driver PCB, and I'll be sending it out for PCB fab in the next few days - before I go off on holiday on Wednesday, hopefully.
-I'm paying for a box of strips - enough for the dimensions above - on my own, but they're expensive. Would anyone like to chip in for more to make a bigger, more awesome display? The strips come to 4 euro each; with 90 in a box that means that for each extra £310, we can add another 15 characters to the display. I'll cover the cost of PCBs, acrylic, drivers etc.

The strips come to 4 euro each; with 90 in a box that means that for each extra £372 after VAT, we can add another 15 characters to the display. Since we can get partial boxes, each £25 gets us an extra character. I'll cover the cost of PCBs, acrylic, drivers etc.
 ===Budget estimation===
-£310 for every additional 90 columns (15 characters) of display
+£25 for every additional character
