    Well I just finished making an new front panel for the computer case. The board is in the clamps and drying. I will attempt to make openings on the front panel and allow the trays to come through. I will also have to make a new button to open the tray on the front panel. I will fasten it with screws and p[ut new trim on the front panel to cover the holes. The screws will be acessable from the rear so I do not have to pry the trim off to replace/upgrade the case. Stay tuned. Thanks jdbnsn for the tip. Hope you find something out from DaveW about those meters.

    It seems to me that the facade is lacking some contrast, it's needs something to set it apart from the surrounding wood. Perhaps some black grill/mesh around the components?

    I took a scrap board that was too small in either direction to work but if I ran it through the router for the locking joint, cut it in half, glued it together and planed it down it would give me a new board that I could use.

    Glued





    Now I have to cut it to size and then the hard part. I will have to route out the back of the board to give me space to put the DVD into then cut the door open with a precision alignment.

    I think it would look better if you put a small piece of wood over the black plastic.



    EDIT: Just saw jdbnsn idea. That's not bad either.

    Maybe hmm. I will see after the new trim is in place on the panel.

    It would have to be thin. I dont know if I can plane anything down that thin. It would have to be cut using a forest blade on my table saw. That would be the only way. I can try it to see what happens but getting my hands that close to the blade upsets my stomach. LOL but I have done that before so ...

    Hey what are you guys Photoshop guru's ?????

    You can remove the plastic on the edge of DVD drives and replace it with wood so it wouldn't need to be so thin. But I'm not sure having everything wood plated has a great look. It takes even more contrast away from your facade. And no, I'm a photoshop novice, still learning.
