While sat on the riverbank fishing today I had plenty of time to think about this, especially seeing as I wasn't catching much.
I thought I could dismantle the Toshiba laptop that is running Mach3 and mount it inside the top enclosure. Perhaps ripping out the Motherboard so save space if needed. This would keep some of the cables/connections inside, keeping things neat. I have a 17" Iiayma touch screen monitor that I could use in place of the laptop screen. The only potential problem I see, is the metal enclosure might inhibit the wireless signal, (I use the network to send the Eagle gcode output direct to the CNC laptop) although I am sure I could get over this.
I also decided that I should probably go for 30mm x 30mm profile and make the whole enclosure slightly bigger too.
Regards,
Les
