Yes, the plan was to use it as a place to mount - and source of heat removal
(maybe not the brightest idea exposed wires and aluminum and all - but I figure I can use some liquid electrical tape where needed and make things safer)
Drilling the acrylic, it seemed like if I breathed wrong i'd end up with a nice crack running from hole to hole to hole.... Of course, I would probably have had better success with a different bit, and the use of some lubricant. But hindsight and all...
