Took me about 5 hours to create these plans.  What am I missing?  :dunno   I'm going to use an old thinkpad x41 laptop and a dell 19" lcd monitor.

I believe one of your measurements has the wrong numbers on it (second pic) but other than that it looks great! 

Are you going with a lighted marquee?

I just go me a HP 510 laptop yesterday with a jacked up screen for a very similar project. Are you taking off your laptop screen? I can't decide if its worth it to take mine off or just leave it.

Ah, thanks, Sketchup is weird when you make changes to the original and then pass it off to layout.  Fixed! :-)

The front panel marquee is wood right now but I've set it up so plexi can be put in it's place if I want to.  I don't want to add too many features for my first build.

I have another 19" lcd I'm using for the screen so I'm using the LCD in place on the laptop.  The only thing I've yet to figure out is how to do the power button on the laptop.

If you're gunna go, go all out.

OKay, I can get a marquee for around $25 which is much better than I expected so I'm changing my layout to include it.   :applaud:
