The cover so far, there will be much more connection on the front planned is a
card reader, USB, maybe temperature/fan control and analog audio level indicator.
I wanted to bring some color in it so I choose brass fasteners, to protect the paint I use washers.
In the lower left corner you can see another idea that I had for the paint/corner protection.
Also on the left is the gas spring that I build in.
Unfortunately it is still offline due some problems with the mainboard upgrade.
I ordered a new one yesterday.
