Mocking up the Control Panel

Am getting closer to having this installed and ready to use.  Here is a mock-up of the 'Control Panel' am looking to get built:


Mock up of control panel



I use a company called Front Panel Express (www.frontpanelexpress.com/) to make up small panels like this.  They have a downloadable CAD tool that is simple to use.  Then just upload it and a week or so later you get your panel! Can even print out a sample in 1-1 scale (that is what you see above).   So Nice.

The only down side is their prices have gone up a LOT over the past few years.  This panel comes in at around $90 - - -  But I already have several others of like look, so need to keep the trend going.
