I ordered the 7 segment displays and a handful of MAX7219s from AliExpress and began the long wait for them to arrive. Needed a total of 64 MAX7219s and 128 seven segment displays.

After what felt like 50 years the parts finally arrived.  After laying out the displays I finally got an idea of how big this display would be.  All I have to say is it is going to be gloriously bright.  Once I verified all of the display dimensions and footprints on the two layouts they were ordered from JLPCB.
