I finally got the dials hooked up. It looks exceptionally cool.

The volume indicator moves about, which is probably the neatest part. Completely for style reasons, but neat anyway.

Well, it's up and running. The panel looks quite cool, though there's a mess of wires running through the wall. I also worry a bit about the temperature in the sauna. Putting two computers in a well-insulated room may get me in trouble when summer rolls around.

Still, it's quite cool and most especially silent. No longer do I have to put up with noisy fans.

Sam seemed especially mesmerized by the way it looked, spending some time on the Lego site painting pictures.

My dad has been working hard on getting the control panel together for me. It's mostly assembled, with only some soldering and mounting remaining. I plugged it in and tested it out just to make sure the monitor was at least working. I'm pretty excited getting it in place and hopefully my dad can come over to finish it up this weekend.

Once it's working, I'll need to move computers around and snake cables through the wall. We should have a few different holes with covers (like the ones you see on desks) to run network cables, power strips, and the like.

My hope is that it quiets down this room considerably, as the server fans are pretty noisy. There's a constant low-level hum that I could do without.
