Haha. Real efficient Vivek... I like it.

We used acryllic as our electrical panel. We have a laser on campus that we can use to cut acrylic which takes the error out of drilling holes. We can model it up exactly as we want the board in CAD and then send it straight to the laser. We can even do etching with it if we want.
