I meant one of these things as your power strip. I thought I saw one in your system, I could be wrong and havent looked back to verify:

I think that power strip must be in someone elses build because it isn't in mine :-)

I will be using a Profilux digital 6 socket and 4 socket powerstrip once I get my Profilux controller up and running. Right now everything is just plugged into a regular powerbar.

Kien, this has given me a lot of great idea (your ideas that is :P) for my new build coming up. I almost feel like I should get your help doing it up. I will for sure steal some of your ideas for your baserock building. Just wanted to say your doing an awesome job. Thanks for all the pictures too! Really liking it.

Default The Skinny

Finally got around to skinning the stand last weekend, and it looks something like this:







There are seven 24" panels in total that skin the stand. They are simply cabinet doors that I got from Ikea a while back. Not cheap but they were the only things I could find that matched exactly the look I was going for. A nice smooth glossy finish. As you can see here they are simply held in place by 4 magnets. No hinges here.







Gravity also helps to keep them in place by resting them on the baseboard at the bottom of the stand.
