My new uber power strip project with pics
My camera took a dump so I have to use my cell phone but you can still see whats going on. I got the box all built up but now the hard work begins. When I get the peices all hogged out, I need to sand progressivly from 36 grit to 600 grit then use a nasty chemical to do a chemical polish. Polycarbonate does not polish very well because it is so soft. Here are pics of the box and the guts that will populate it. I'm pushing to get this done this week. Cheers.
    EDIT EDIT EDIT: here are all the pix from the build pulled up into the first post

looks cool, very impressed. the finishing sounds rather labor intensive and touchy perhaps, how many more hours will you have just in that step?

Nope, no Grenade, but the signage on the on/off switch should draw some comments. The little box is a surge protector and the big gray box is an active tracing filter to make the power "clean". I went with the hospital grade sockets just cus' I liked the color. The back plate that everything attaches to is dark green. So from the bottom up, there will be the surge protector and switch then above that the active tracking filter, then above that, the four sockets. I did the rough hog out on the top plate and that took three hours using 16 grit sanding disc on a cutoff saw spinning at 22,000 rpm.

That box is going to weigh a ton..Needs some cold-cathode lighting in side to make all that polycarbonite glow..
 Maybe have it change from blue to red when power demand is critical..

Cold-cathode lighting kits are sold for stuff like those clear computer cases...most well-stocked computer stores have them.
