I went to Mister ply wood, they charged me $50 for a sheet of 16mm moisture resistant melamine MDF, $25 to cut it and $25 to edge it. It was then $10 for a tube of liquid nails and $5 for the hinge.

If your interested the material list I used is;
1x Facia 140x400
2x Sides 730x400
1x Shelf 390x400
1x Top 385x250
1x Box side 170x200
1x Box base 300x200
Thanks that is awesome - sounds like all the hard work is done... I will definitely do this - thanks so much for the measurements and details....

the colours look good, I was given the impression that I would be able to adjust the red led's on the red and white tube up and down seperate from the whites but it looks like that dosnt happen at the moment, Elos AU is getting a thing sent out so I can do a firmware update so this may change that situation.

The aquatop makes it, it sort of disappears so that you don't even notice it, which angles were you after?
