If you went that route, you may even be able to pay extra to have a custom made panel that is one solid piece (instead of 3) for each side for painting (you'd have to ask CL).

Not sure if Case Labs will make custom panels, but it sure would help me. I was recently thinking just how separate some of the surfaces are. This is only a bad thing in terms of painting a mural on the case, as there will be a break in the art, like a tile. I was thinking of making a one piece front panel for example.

I want to know if it has pull off panels or not.

Is there a chance that you could put the cover attachment pegs you use in the store in 4-count? I think that would accomplish what he's asking for if CL doesn't make a custom panel.

That's not a bad idea, we'll look into it wink.gif We have had to suspend all custom parts until Merlin is completed (Nov/Dec) redface.gif

Actually, I was only thinking of making a custom one piece flexbay panel, the area inside the front panel, however that is an even better idea. I could fashion an entire solid front panel with just the right amount of bay holes. This would eliminate the frame effect and give me an awesome front panel for artwork. Hell, just make a solid one for us dremel ready peeps to cut out the holes afterwords - just don't cut it, less work smile.gif !!

Of course all the peg clip parts separate would be nice too.

I suppose I could cut the front panel up to a thin frame, leaving the clip parts intact, then attach a custom flat uni-panel, and it would look more streamlined and closer to a one piece design. That way I would not have to fashion corners or obtain clips. But yeah, make the male and female clips available separately please. Or make a barebones frameless front panel. The latter is the best idea. Give us a canvas!! Let us go crazy with a dremel thumb.gif
