I haven't figured out what I'm going to use for the monitor yet either.  I'm also thinking about going with the TV, just need to find the right one at a good price.


Thanks for the compliments.

ChicagoDave:
Looking good!  Keep it up...

Spyridon:
Here's what I got done today.  I started working on the control panel.  I used a 1 1/8 inch spade bit to cut the holes out.


To line everything up, I clamped my printed template over the lexan and the wood control panel top.


I then drilled a pilot hole in the center of each button.


After the pilot holes were all drilled, I removed the template and used the spade bit to drill through the lexan and wood. 

Spyridon:
For the trackball cut out, I used a 3" hole saw.  To line it up in the correct spot, I placed the trackball mounting plate onto the control panel and traced out the circle in the right spot.  Just like the buttons, I then drilled a pilot hole in the center of the circle.  I went very slowly with the hole saw and it cut through the lexan and wood without a problem.


Here is the panel with all the holes cut out


Just the wood with the Lexan removed


And the Lexan by itself (still with the protective cover on it)
