Alright, so after much time and frustration I'm very pleased to say it's finished and working great!

It's a pretty solid and attractive unit in my opinion. Massive credit to Falco and Hailrazer for the case concept. :)

I didn't take any internal shots before I sealed it up, it's nothing really special on the inside. Nearly every connection on the inside is connected with headers to making future repair (god forbid) very easy.

Nice. :)

What's the button in the select spot ?

What did you use for the cap for the 4 way switch?

What did you do for the triggers?

:mrgreen:

Neato !!

Did you have to re-enforce the lid?

I found that after cutting the cart slot I have to re-enforce the hinge area now. I cut a strip of flashing metal a 1/4" thick and bend it to fit inside the top from the left trigger to the right trigger. Then I use 6 tiny screws to hold the case to the metal.

Makes it where I don't have to be concerned with the lid cracking near the hinges.

I haven't noticed any structural issues with the case. I've looked, but I couldn't find any. I knew it wasn't as sturdy as a polycase or something similar, so I was extra gentle when I was cutting and filing.

Hows the cart feel sitting up top like that? Sturdy? Not too top heavy?

The cart slot hole is pretty snug on the sides of the cart, and I haven't had any problems with it moving. It isn't top heavy at all. In fact, this unit's weight is distributed pretty well.
