The front Fascia was a bit of reclaimed oak floorboard, the slots for the bays and the windows were cut with a router and a straight edge, the window was glazed with a bit of scrap glass cut to size.

The fascia was test fitted to establish the shelf height and the inner supports were set into place and secured using 6" long screwed blocks,  the shelf was made using the remainder of the 8x4, originally I had set this in as one piece but as it proved a curse to remove it, i split it up the middle with the cut being hidden by the screen base, there is a 2" hole split across the 2 halves at the back for cable access.

The Box was attached to the underside of the desk using 3 "L" brackets and the cables were all run through, in V1 all the cables were IDE for CD roms (thick blue cable) but on the later version the cables change to SATA.
