Wrapped up (hopefully) the front/mid section of my case.

I'm just about ready to e-mail the part to my teacher to get it printed out. Before I do that, I'm going to take
@Shank 's advice and print the screen part separately so that the rest of the body has a nice flat surface to print on. I'm not too worried about the other things that don't have a solid foundation because the good 3D printer prints structural material to help the part from correctly. You have to put the part into an acid bath for 24 hours, but it comes out looking really nice. I'm also going to add some screw posts for me to screw into before I send it off.
I plan to have more ventilation than what is on the bottom of the case. That there is just extra, because I figure it's better to have too much airflow than too little.
In other news, I got my IR LEDs working, so my sensor bar works too! The two widely spaced holes near the top of the case are for those. The little one in the middle is a little white LED I'm using as my rumble. I was considering putting in a switch to turn the sensor bar on/off, but I don't feel like the LEDs would really drain that much juice. I've also decided to drop the headphone jack, because it looks like that process is currently more complicated than I had anticipated. (At least until
@Aurelio finishes the amp he's cooking up...)
If you have any last minute suggestions/critiques on the case please let me know!
