Complete-ish PiDP-1 Rack with Display

[Corrupt Liberty]

Here's my assembled and working PiDP-1 with the 7" display behind the center speaker holes.  I am considering cutting the left hole int a square for the tape reader display.  I accidentally cooked the speaker amp.  Luckily I found them on Amazon fairly cheap.  I'm still awaiting that bit.  

I'm also not sure what the original purpose was behind all of the extra holes in the speaker panel.  I put some blackout film on the backside to mitigate light bleed and make them a little less obvious.  All in all I'm pretty happy with how it has turned out.

I sure wish they would offer a panel with a rectangular opening that fits the 7 inch display.   The display looks silly behind those two openings.

I've considered trying to make a custom panel.  Getting the color to match would be the hardest part.  Of course it is just a PCB substrate so maybe PBPway has this color available?  Maybe we could get the original file to make modifications and order a replacement?
