Give the insides a quick coat of white paint, painted the edges in black metal paint, all i had to hand, as soaked in but won't be seen hopefully by the chrome edging i have left over. Wrapped the panels in D-C FIX wood grain effect vinyl wrap, bit on the shiny side but looks ok to me :) the scuffs you see inside are where i tested the monitor a few times to make sure it still fit, once it's all together i may give it another coat inside ;) Made a few minor errors while putting it together hence the little plastic block in the top right corner, misaligned the top panel so unscrewed and bodged it with that :o **edit** realised i haven't trimmed the vinyl for the pinball buttons before taking pics, will do it now ;D |

Couple of hours or so and it's all fitted to the back panel, just hope it fits now when the monitor is in place >:D To power the LED in the power button I've wired into the spare connector on the fan controller saves using a USB port ;D just need to hot glue the power button in and it's soldered wires as i forgot to add some heat shrink before i started soldering ;) Tested and ready for installation 8) |

Looking good! I like your clean mounting of all the pc parts. What kind of metal brackets are those and are they adjustable? |
| firedance:
The metal brackets are just 2" L brackets with approximately 1/2" bend over to grip the thin client, took a couple attempts to get the right gap to grip tightly. Should have taken more pictures but was in the zone when putting the parts together ;D https://www.screwfix.com/p/corner-braces-zinc-plated-52-x-52-x-16-35mm-10-pack/11013?kpid=11013&ds_kid=92700058176431119&ds_rl=1244072&gclid=Cj0KCQjw4uaUBhC8ARIsANUuDjVM6jFwHIQyytVkEf9XuJsd-X6UpcuFqmlklyDUqlbWy5RsVldv7zUaArzCEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds |

Just done a quick test fit, loads of room, wasn't worried at all :angel: The panel below the monitor was attached using 2 plastic corner brackets as i'd run out of the batons i had cut previously. |
