Almost ready to start wiring
I got a rare weekend in the shop and am making good progress. I thought I would already be wiring by now, but it was one detail after another that needed to be taken care of.
Unless I'm missing something I am really stoked about this case setup. It is going together really slick and easy. It just sort of fell together. I think the level of access will be a bonus.

The SuperPID speed control is safe behind a lexan window cut into the front panel. The power switch is mounted so the front panel pops off easily. It was very easy to mount some captive nuts for the front panels. There is a piece of angle aluminum at the top used for a heatsink for the SuperPID. It is not touching anything other then the heat sink tab on the SPID.

I found a piece of DIN rail to mount the contactor to. I want to order some breakers/fuses to mount on there if I can figure out which ones to order. Some of those ordering pages get mighty confusing when you've never brought this stuff before.
I mounted a cable carrier purchased from surplus. There's a place local that has all kinds of stuff. A lot of the pieces parts for this case came from there. I'd fill a small paper bag with items and he'd give a price for the lot. You never know what your going to find in this place.

The logic side should look great compared to the rats nest of the old one. The RJ-45 connector on the back will feed the Ethernet Smooth Stepper mounted to the PMDX-126. Ribbon cables feed it to the PMDX and power the ESS. Ribbon cable to the 4 main Gekos. That's alot of wiring NOT needing to be done. The terminal blocks will provide power to the PMDX board and the other one will provide DC voltages to the logic ( along with whatever else needs to be routed to the other side.

Stil haven't stareted wiring yet, but...
.. I have cleaned a few things up. I was originally planning on putting the AC for the router on the bottom rear panel on the power side. That's why I originally cut that panel seperate. Anyhow, I decided that with the cable carrier why not put the power outlet to the router where it would work better, so I went to the local H/W store and bought an outlet and installed it.
Also, since I realized I never posted a pic showing that the logic side is easily removeed I posted a pic showing the full level of access to things.
Also, I am thinking of re-making the cable support, if I can find that piece of left orver rod around here.
One more thing, Killian's is tasting goooooood !!
Comments welcome,
