4 flip-switches work the same as keyboard keys; 1/0 states. Press down, release, & they spring back up. |

| Only 2 covered bolts actually are bolts, the 2nd and the 7th. They hold the breadboard on which the push buttons are attached. You can see one of the red push-buttons on the right. |
The 3 LEDs work as level meters, & are connected to the 3 keyboard lights. I used the keyboard lights plugin for winamp(link section). Very nice effect at night. |
The right-side flip switches. The top one loads all the songs contained on the HD. Loads in about 2-3 seconds. The bottom switch loads the CD-ROM. Takes about 10 seconds. The only reliable way to make it load CD was to open the CD player in windows, press eject button, press it again to close CD door, then close the CD player program, all done with macro. |
The left-side flip switches. The top one is shut down of Windows. First winamp is stopped, then closed. Windows is then shutdown. This order prevents freeze-ups caused by the LCD & keyboard plugins being active when winamp is playing a song. |

| Some blurry pictures of the wiring. Salvaged wiring harnesses from old PC's. Wires are perfect because each wire has a female connector on it so it minimizes soldering. |
Much of this panel is held together with GOOP adhesive. I wanted the panel to be as clean as possible, that meant minimizing the amount of screws used on the front. The switches sit in a carved out piece of wood, flush with the front panel. The wood is glued to the panel and the switches are held in place tightly with more adhesive. |
