One More Mountain's Jukebox Clone

Font Panel:
I looked at how this was done by Mountain and the followers and felt that this is not something I would be able to tackle. I needed an easier way to do it so this is what I came up with. I started with creating a template for the monitor opening and speaker opening:
I then temporarily attached plexi and cut the opening with the flush bit and then created a 45 degree bevel:
After that I moved to MDF and cut the panel as well as the opening for the monitor:
Here is the picture of the monitor mounted in place. It is held by metal strips that are bolted to the T-nuts. The monitor rests on the opening, as could be seen in the pics. Very easy and straightforward job.
Note that "lips" on top and bottom of the monitor are resting on the MDF, depth of the routed slot determines the distance between the monitor and to be installed plexi:
The final step was attaching the plexi. I did it while the monitor was installed and carefully aligned opening in the plexi to the edges of the monitor.
Here is the pic with the plexi attached, monitor is removed. It will be re-installed later after the front panel is installed in place. Also note the different type of weatherstripping I used. It works great, gives it a finished look and does not affect the touchscreen.
Stay tuned, more to come, any comments are welcomed.

Thank you guys for the kind words, you were the pioneers
Martijn,
CD slot was a great idea so I included it as well with illuminated stainless steel buttons, one is eject and the other is on/of. I didn't put led strip around the drive itself though.

Below are few pics of the back. It took me three tries to get it right, was getting fairly frustrated. Ended up doing the way it is shown on the pics. It is black plexi that rests on the small wooden pieces located around the perimeter, held in place by a regular furniture magnets. Getting the corners just right was tough, upper corner on the right came out less than perfect I just didn't have the strength to redo it for the fourth time. There is a fan mounted up on top behind the metal which could be seen on the pic. Looks pretty good, pictures highlight all imperfections, fingerprints, etc.

Very nice! I'm on my third attempt at the back panel and it is really all I have left to do. It has been frustrating. Yours turned out great and I really like the removable panel. :cheers:
