After a few cold ones I came up with the design for the top to house the keyboard and 17" touchscreen.

Whilst browsing the local hardware store, I stumbled across a small set of gas struts designed for kitchen cupboard doors that open upwards, strong little buggers!

I'm not 100% happy with their placement and should have spent more time working out where to place them. I'll need to adjust them down the track when 'm working on the controller again.
The electronics below are going to be moved also. They'll be installed into an enclosure on the table itself. Since putting them together, the spark to convert my mill has been reignited. With the computer being mobile, I'll use it for both machines down the track, each machine will need it's own electronics. Also having the electronics on the table itself cuts the cable count between controller and machine from around 8-10 down to 2 or 3.
