Jeff,
I really like the way you have put the grommets in the enclosure. The way that you have the cables laid out and labeled is outstanding. Hopefully ours will look half as nice.
This may be a stupid question, but if you are running wireless, why do you have cables connected to the DMX in and DMX out?

BTW: Awesome job on the wiring. Show off your lineman skills

I'm am sorry but you must refrain from posting about your professional lighting controllers! This is a strickly DIY site and as so all post must be on, about, or otherwise in reference to DIY controllers or items.

Just kidding with you  ;D  They are very professional looking   <res.

Jeff:

Excellent work. Can't wait to see pictures of your whole installation ... should be as pretty as the show itself!

Just in case anyone want's to do their case similar to Jeff's, here is the Word document with the layout for the holes. The cord holes are 1/2" (if using grommets) and the cat5 holes are 13/16".

If ok, please added it to the wiki or I can do it for you

Thanks

Rick, if you would, please add it to the WIKI. It's that 2 percent rule, you've got to be 2 percent smarter than what your working on to get it to work, and I'm a WIKI idiot. I was able to upload the file, but that was about it. Thanks,

Bill
