Time to stop before I do something stupid

It's at this point in the project it's hard not to keep working because you see the finish line.  Thanks to Justin's idea and a Belkin Smart AV surge suppressor the whole cabinet can be turned on with the press of one button and it shuts itself off 10 seconds after the computer shuts down.  Justin told me how to hack the power button to one of the switches and it works like a charm.

Here's where I stand right now

In terms of hitting my plan for the night I did pretty well.  The trackball mount is done, but I didn't get the panel wired, but the marquee and bezel are all set and the speakers are mounted.  Morning is wiring time.
