Yeah that's why I've not showed it much lads. There's a clip on surround that goes on there, it's the exact width of the case 
It needs modding though so you can get to the power button properly (it's a ten second job with a sanding attachment on the dremel, those barrel shaped ones). I've just not gotten around to it and made the mistake of putting it on before and nearly snapping it trying to get it off. It will probably be one of the last things that need doing.
Hell yeah

Not much to report today. Yesterday I turned the unit upside down and laid down some masking tape to make sure the feet all go on straight. Whilst I was there I mapped out the nearest location to a hole so I could run the LED wires through the case. Given there are plenty of holes in the bottom of the case this wasn't very difficult.
I have also had these on order for a couple of days.
They're pre wired with a choke so you can run them at 12v. I had some before in white and ran them for months and they were fine
I've also ordered 5m of this
And 5m of this (2mm)
I was going to use paracord but figured it would be easier to tell what is what in there if I used plain red

That looks very cool almost like a little shark but I like it!

In a new feature for us that we have called "Forum Focus" because we generally need to be pie eyed to come up with anything thats funny or makes sense we have given the AAACC Build an airing on the front page of the site.
We will be keepig an eye on the forums going forward for future builds to feature but for now congratulations to AlienALX on his unique build!

haha that's cool thanks guys
On the down swing at the moment so this has cheered me up
I must say I really enjoyed this project. More than most. Was sooo nice to go back to my roots and make something useful
Good to hear it has cheered you up dude.
It deserved the feature to start the Forum Focus section, love seeing something unique and a little quirky.
I think you did a great job too dude, whos next?

Oh you wrote that? good going man ! I didn't realise that was you as you used your real name
I like the idea too.
So I have decided that if I ever finish this latest rig (savage depression atm, can't sleep, no motivation etc) which shouldn't take long then I am going to build a ground up valve amp from nothing but boards and all of the separate components in honour of a couple of old friends of mine who died.
I've been wanting to do one for years and years now, so once I start feeling better I will be looking around for kits
Was going to do a headphone amp but they are very small and I would probably knock it out in a day.

Would love to see that. I also really enjoy reading your logs amongst others. I appreciate the little bits of humour you add
