Nominally Complete..?

I got around to final assembly after some sanding and final touches. Here are some beauty shots:



As you can see, the birch ply is still unfinished, and I ended up having issues with having the depth of the power button rear cutout be so small... but I'll figure it out soon.


The front panel solution is as pictured below:



I technically am only running 2 x USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5Gbps) USB-A at the moment--the other I/O module is currently not set up for proper use. I will probably rig up a USB-C to USB 2.0 header custom cable to get my extra IO port running, as my board only supports that much IO. But overall this has been a very interesting and educational project--I do have enough material to do a whole extra 2nd case, so I may or may not fabricate an extra for the purposes of selling it if anyone is interested enough.


Thanks for following along. I will release designs for this project once I am confident that the models are good enough.
