Hi Stewart,

Thank you very much for going back and adding the details of your metal fabrication. Your tools look just like mine. I mistook your excellent precision compared to many of my builds as evidence of better tools. Now I can see that the tools are the same and it is just the craftsman that is better. You inspire me to take a little more time with my next project now that I can see what can be done.

Since there was interest in construction details, I made a point of taking some photos as I created an identical enclosure for my second HDMIPi. I have added Tools and Construction Photo sections to the post.

Hi Stewart,

Very nice and neat build. It is obvious that this isn't your first rodeo. I second Craig's comment on how neat the openings in the box are. I enjoyed reading your blog.

wow that's amazing! Nice work. Very detailed write up too. How did you cut the aluminum? I had to drill a few holes in an atx case where the aluminum is much thinner and it was pretty difficult. maybe my tools just suck.
