Yup. Matt Black.
Further to the direction VPO is going in, here are some pics:

I had to replace the PSU with something a bit more...shall we say unvoided ( for the moment at least.)

Above pic serves as a comparison. Pic below shows new PSU installed.

And then an MFC2 fan controller became part of the package:

With a powersupply and power cable which I still need to make a place for:


And now the fun and games start all over again. I've selected perspex as the medium of choice since I had to re-integrate the LED's from the now trashed ex-PSU. Yes, it is a mission to work with, but 4 hints:
1. Work slowly with it. This includes drilling holes, sawing with a Jigsaw, filing and Sanding/Polishing edges.
2. Have the piece of work clamped down properly, with as little of the edge unsupported as possible. This will prevent cracking or splitting.
3. Make a template first and then transfer the design onto your sheet. It is a hell of a lot cheaper stuffing up a piece of cardboard, than it is perspex.
4. Keep your work surface as clean as possible, because any spec of dirt may cause unwanted scratches.
Anyway, enough preaching. Here are some pics:

That's it for now. Progress is being hampered by a whole lot of other things at the moment.
