Ooh! A likely looking Elonex keyboard.

And what a cute little keyboard controller you have!

This won't hurt a bit - YOINK!

The conductors on the ribbon connectors are just the right pitch to use this posting for standard connectors.

More on this later.

So I have some cabinet designs based on Defender but tweaked to suit my spare 17" monitor.

I've decided to use MDF for the exterior surfaces - a nicer finish than chipboard for painting.

Starting with a nice sturdy base: 18mm chipboard and a couple of 2x4's.

Making the first few cuts of the sides with circular saw and a good straight-edge (e.g. Ian McKaye :) ).

Rough assembly of base, sides and back. I'm using sliding angle plates on short screws.

The upper-front profile isn't yet finalised: will be highly dependent on the height of the monitor shelf (not yet decided).

Awaiting monitor shelf.
