Either that or I buy a pre-fab case that someone has done, which will add considerably to the cost probably.
i'm doing pushbutton. I'm making my own panel on frontpanelexpress.
as for gdiy, I just found the thread that is stressing you out, and I can't believe that they're still helping you! Cmon, gdiy isn't a place to get a paint by numbers. It's about getting gear for a bit less, and learning about electronics!! If you don't care to learn anything, buy a commercial one. It'll be way better than anything you can make, and if the unit breaks, you'll have some means of fixing it (warranty). If you just paint by numbers, and it breaks, you're ****ed.
