Wow I feel embarassed. After getting all the files together and getting ready to start the "pick up" work, my mobo was promptly shorted by a cup of coke...Thus I wasn't able to post anything until now.
Seeing as Joey's back anyhow it's not like the this matters anymore i suppose
Looking forward to more of your great work, and sorry for all the unnecessary fuss which ended up amounting to nothing...
One thing's for sure, I'm not leaving my desktop's side panels off for any period of time from now on ...
