I haven’t done much to the rig over the past couple of days. I did manage to tidy the cables up:

AFTER


It’s not perfect, but it will do for now.
Front Panel - What to do?
I have been giving the front panel some thought and it’s received a mixed response from others. Some have said that it’s too simple, while others say that the DVD RW detracts from the simplicity. I think I agree with those regarding the DVD RW. It sticks out like a sore thumb as it is. I was going to fit it so the bezel was flush with the front panel, but I have a few options open to me:
1, Stealth the drive
2, Use a slot loading DVD RW, with just a slot cut into the front panel and fit a push button (my favoured option at the moment)
3, Mount it flush and paint the existing bezel.
There will be a 120mm fan with LED’s mounted behind the grille on the front panel, but I won’t be doing this till I have decided upon the overall lighting scheme. Regards, the DVD RW, as I said the 2nd option is my favourite at the moment, but I have been trying to find a laptop slot loading DVD RW at a good price (cheap!), without much success. I have another piece of acrylic to work on once I have made my mind up, so any comments/suggestions really would be appreciated as usual!
Cheers,
Stu
