Update

This past weekend I installed the monitor bezel and the feet on the bottom of the cabinet. The construction part is just about complete.

I also started to really think about splicing the SmartStrip into a plug that gets flush-mounted on the back of the cabinet. I'm just not sure this is the best way to go - the plug will force the cabinet to sit about 1.5" off of the wall... but so will the plug that goes into the wall so I'm not sure it matters. The alternative is to just cut a hole in the back and use a grommet (like the kind found on computer desks to let wires pass through) to feed the plug of the SmartStrip through.

I have to think about this.

Anyway, I have plenty computer configuration to get through this week to keep me busy.
