Thanks Bill!
I hope you gonna like the execution too
Here it is
Update time...
After designing that front panel I sent sketchups to Tom from Chilled PC and here is what I got last Friday.
Aluminium bits CNCed nicely. I also bought a blue acrylic sheet for all external work.
It's frosted blue, so will look cool, when lit up from behind.
I went to my shed yesterday (it was already dark after 3:30pm) and drew and cut out main pieces for front panel. Apologies for low quality photos, I used my phone...
Then started to file down and sand all edges. I still need to polish them nicely.
Next will be mounting front panel to the case.
I'm thinking how I'm gonna mount it. I thought I could add 3mm gap between main front panel and those acrylic and aluminium bits and squeeze SMD led strips there.
It would be a lot easier, just to glue those strips to main case panel and then screw down blue acrylic and aluminium layer on top...
What do you guys think?
