I think that's great Scott!
One thing I was thinking about last night - one of the things that keeps my backlog from getting finished sometimes (like right now) is the problem of designing panels. I tend to do a lot of combo modules, and getting the final design made can be a real hassle. If I have these universal panels, I don't need to worry about it. I can stuff half the module, see how I like it, and change things later. That would be so friggen nice.
I'll buy some as soon as you have metal.
