thanks, I decided to not use the standoffs to hold the top on because I would have had to hack up the front that came with it, and I want to save it in case I get a new case and need to use the real face.

ok, got more pics. I superglued it onto the plate for easy transfer back to the oroginal faceplate if need be. I also offset the screen slightly to the bottom so I can see the whole screen from my chair

Click to expand...

The best part is that it fully matches the other bays.

I made cardboard template with the edge of the lcd as a guide. then I clamped it to the blank and drilled three small holes for each oval button, and one big hole for each triangle button. I then used a set of model files to shape them.
