    Yeah. I'd really like to see that panel stealthed as much as possible. That being said, I'm a HUGE fan of Portal, and I love it.
    Makes me wish my concept of a WCC end table wasn't so expensive...

    Great looking mod.

    I have a question about construction. In picture 28 (top right) with the lid off. I can see screw holes in the corners of the top cover but no screw heads in the bottom corner pieces? Does the top attach to the bottom? I am looking to hide all screws, rivets on a build i have going and am just wondering how you did this.

    I am probably over thinking this too much but I like the look of the solid construction without screws, bolts, or rivets everywhere.

    I don't know exactly what a break out box is, but... Would it be possibly to hinge one of the panels with the heart on, and hide it beneath?

    This is utterly amazing.

    I was wondering though: is it possible to post a tutorial with measurements etc for those of us who would like to replicate this? Or a link?

    Thanks, and great job!

    Do you freehand the corners and heart or use a template? I love this mod. My son got me portal for Fathers day and I would like to do a mod for him.

    zAAm's Companion Cube PC was a lot more accurate. Check it out - I think he posted it here and on losias.

    Also, this one is pretty awesome on its own.
