Looks gooooOOOOOOoooood...!!!!!

With the word "taper" you mean to widen the holes near the head of the screw in order to be lower inside the metal of the case? (I cant express it well on english...) So the screw head will be at the level of the front panel. It will look very nice to the look and touch

So the case's lcd "window" is 14mm height? Remove the protective memvrane off the lcd from one side to see if the metal bezel of the lcd is visible.
