I like this a lot, too.

I think I have to disagree about doing it differently for the purpose of symmetry. A lot of the time things look better when they're done asymmetrically... otherwise, it just looks forced, and I think this is a perfect example of such a situation. It would look good either way, but I really like that you did it this way.

Yeah, I really dig it, but I also would of done things a bit different. Painted up the frame a bit foist. Haha.

It needs something other than white, it looks kinda washed out, especially if you have the plastic connecting bits.
If not the white is fine. I would of had the face plate and back plate centered in the middle.
Then the cord wrapped around them a bit, and the buttons and stuffed glue randomly in the open holes.

Thankyou! I do need to paint the frame...but I'll probably never get around to it. I was having trouble finding a good color so that all the pieces stand out...and yet does totally detract from the overall presentation....any suggestions for color?
