OI set-ups/Drivers station!

Hey guys,
I was given the task to create a new OI to be used in St.Louis and I just want to get a little help and some ideas from everyone. My current design I have in my head is a box 30"x5"x12"ish?, the side walls of the box are clear lexan(painted with gloss to frost), the bottom is sheet metal, and the top is a piece of Lexan painted Gus orange with our signature flames;]. All of the wires, drive stick bases, and netbook will be inside of the OI. The top will have holes cut in to allow drivers sticks to stick out of the top for the base driver, and the co-driver will have a little square cut out to put his Xbox style controller in when not in use. There will also be a dozen or so arcade buttons in the top of the, "box" for the co-driver to have control of preset heights on the elevator, minibot deployment, and minibot. And now for my favorite part, we have strips of RGB LED's that we are going to wire into the bottom of the, "box" so we can have it light up and look all cool and whatnot. . Any ideas and/or suggestions? This is the first time I'm doing anything like this and the more help I can get the better! Also if anyone has a neat OI please post a picture so I can get some ideas, remember imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!

Thank you!
