An experiment with using laser-cut laminated bamboo from Ponoko for the front panels. Like one of the reviews said, one side has quite a bit of burn marks from the laser cutting and the side with the tape backing has some peeling splinters. Plus it's warped slightly, but not that much at all now that I look at it.
It looks pretty good despite that however. But now I really wish I had done the panels with a brushed bare aluminum finish with a slightly darker solid bamboo front panel, that'd look amazing.
Anyway, I have 3 of these panels with the grain vertical and one with it horizontal and can throw it for anyone getting one of the Jolokia prototypes who wants one.
Edit: here's the laser burns I was talking about
