--- Quote ---aside from the color combo (wheres the red and black) i think it looks very professional. although for the cd drive i think a matching plate would be good but its fine.
its a little big though and i see some wasted space which you cant really help. size is dictated by the controls. i like the take anywhere idea and am left wondering do they have kits for a micro mobo?

The matching plate is a good idea. Problem is, at least with a kit, everyone has a different CDROM they will use in their box. If you can think of a way, please let me know.

For the matching plate you can use the solution some of the fancier cases and some HTPC's use. Some people call them steath covers, all they are are hinged plates slightly wider then the CDRom and the sit flush with the edge with the Eject button in the "standard" place. Push the eject button, the tray opens and pushes open this hinged door.

It's nice, but the one thing that bothers me is the size. It really looks a bit too large. That's the reason I stuck with the J-Rcade, I could pare it down to a reasonable size and still get all the controls I wanted. I might still put in the 2 1/4" trackball right in the panel, but honestly it's kinda nice to have the external trackball wired up, as I can pass that around to friends in a circle, and we don't have to swap places in Golden Tee. Also plan on one day maybe mounting a slimline DVD in the front slot area, but really have no need to do that now. I transfer alot of files just over the network, and when I install anything I can throw in a spare drive.
This pic gives a decent view of the size I ended up with. Of course, if you're a traditionalist, I guess you're better off with T-Molding and whatnot. :) The rest are in my sig. Happy gaming man, it's nice to have something you can take to a friends house and lay some smack down.
I've been playing with my new toys Santa brought me, a wireless logitech pad, and a Logitech Momo racing wheel set. Whee!

Hey man, that is really nice looking.
The size is really dependent on what is going to go in it.
