    I would like to see future hardware support some sort of header to support external LEDs to make the board a bit more case friendly (with proper cooling, of course).

    At this point, I can design a case with the v8 board and to enclose and protect the board, but I will have to buy light pipes to be able to see the LEDs. This will take careful alignment of the light pipes over the board’s LEDs to make them work as they are basically rigid plastic tubes to channel the light to where you want it.

    Or, am I missing something already on the board?

    I know this suggestion/post is old, but I agree. The more complete and thorough project oriented will not just be screwing this board to a piece of wood. I always to use cases and with highly thought out front and back panels. Indicator lights are very important. In the days of through-hole components, this modification would be easy. Yep, a header would be great for these.
