I could be wrong, but haven't people been recommending solid core wire?

stranded. The solid-core may snap/break/bend/loosen due to it being inflexible.
Bones, I was able to interpret your hidden message, and while I know you think of me as "El Numero Uno", taking a picture stating so wasn't necessary. You'll always be my #2 guy, however "crappy" that may be ;)
Looking good, how THICK is that conglomeration of wires? Are you planning on running it near each control and stripping off an end with enough to reach the switches, like a Hydra or something? Any way to fasten it to the underside to keep it from moving about? I've got an idea for you, but I'm currently unable to find my bit and take a photo of it to prove I did it first, and as you know, I can't have you stealing my glory....I have so little from which to draw from ;D
Hey, I know you don't have a circ saw, but do you have a router? I may offer you my idea if you don't have a router :angel:

Saturday night update.
Today started good and then turned to dog turd when my little girl cut her head after making herself dizzy and fell against a pointed desk.
Once the blood was cleaned up we were on our way to Dick Smith and purchased some essentials. Spent $55 which I thought was reasonable considering the amount I brought. (Price does not include Spongebob for Alyssa.)
Also stopped on the way home at my trusty little hardware store that got me out of strife last week and brought a CP sized piece of wood for a few reasons.
1) I wanted to see how difficult it was to stick my spare CPO down and knew the practice would be a worthwhile exercise.
2) I wanted to see if I could drill it without tearing like my printer mate had told me.
3) I wanted to play it safe and thought a template would be a wise thing to have on hand in case of any future disasters.

Saturday night update continued....
I got home and my wife was worried about the cut on Alyssa's head and decided to take her to the Doctor and have it checked.
Left alone and thinking my wife was being worried over nothing, I grabbed my new piece of wood and matched it to my CP. Clamping it all down I used my router to make a size for size copy.
This worked well but I was astonished at the amount of dust this generated. Wore mask, glasses and earplugs, I looked like a complete tool but I am glad I didn't breath that crap or get it in my eyes.
