alright, heres my dilemma...i have my showcase cab for the most part assembled.  i want to have access to the back of the cp pedestal portion ( http://www.arcadecontrols.com/files/Uploads/DSC00263.JPG ) so if the coin door messes up or something goes out, i can take off the back panel to fix it.  also i want to be able to access the back of the monitor pedestal (what it sits on) so i can be able to access the pc that will be sitting in the bottom of it ( http://www.arcadecontrols.com/files/Uploads/DSC00259.JPG ) .  i dont want to install piano hinges because to me, those stick out like a sore thumb, unless you route out a slot, and all that crap.  so my next thought was to use velcro which would work fine, but i need a way to be able to pull off the panel.  the velcro sticks real well as most of you know, and most of the time its under a cp, and you can just lift the cp up, no problem.  well this time, everything will be flush against the panel that the velcro is on and there will be no way of pulling it off without have like a handle installed or something.  my question, what is the best option here?  i dont want a big ol brass handle on there....that just looks dumb.  i was thinking about just drilling a hole so that i could use my finger  (heh) but that might be a little ugly as well.  is there anything i could use to make this look as good as possible?

Try useing those Cabinet Door magnents. You know the ones where you push in and it opens up. Then if you don't want hinges showing, you can use  European hinges

You see them a lot of the time on kitchen cabinents when you have a big door and/or don't want to see the hardware.

They are good (I have them on my wardrobe!) but I have heard it can be tricky to get the holes in the right place, if you haven't done it before...
