Really nice. If he wants to spend more time on this, additional hacks would be:

- hook up the foot pedal to a KVM or some kind of software switch to switch desktops/environments

- put some speakers behind the 2 grills if it isn't done already

- make one or both of the grills openable and attach a power strip in them so the power wires can be hooked up hidden inside instead of outside

- cut out the flat part of keyboard cover and use it to extend the desktop for more desktop space and more leg room

- Nice!

- If you look closely I have some speakers mounted to the underside of the front face. They are pointed down and reflect off of the surface of the desk (iMac style). I originally wanted to fit them inside the grills but space is surprisingly limited once you try to fit a speaker box in there.

- Thanks! Been interested in better ways to hide the wires.

- I imagine that could be very difficult to pull off. ;)

If you do number one, please for the sake of geekiness make the una corda pedal do something with the computer's volume.
