Thanks everyone. I appreciate it the suggestions.
What should i be searching for? is it particular to the rostock or its firmware? I would like to educate myself about it.

They'll all work, the primary advantage of the SeeMe solution, is the wiring is well understood and the firmware is already configured.

I've oogled them several times, and I've never seen the Viki panels in stock. Are there any out in the wild, or is this like a pre-order stage?

I have never seen one but it sure does look nice compared to the other options! I really don't like the encoder wheel on the reprapdiscount LCDs.

Sounds like you are not looking for just the controller board, which is just the display and sd card slot, but the whole enchilada, the RamBo board AND the lcd controller board?

well, i may be ignorant regarding it. I probably am looking for it and don't realize it.
The rambo board is not part of the rostock max v 1?

I have both V1 and V2 ViKi's, they are great and I never had to wait long to get one or another.

Yes it is, but the lcd/sd card controller is seperate from the RamBo board. SeeMeCNC's website showed the controller board out of stock, but the RamBo board was in stock.
