While I am waiting on the revision 2 boards from oshpark, I can show you some details regarding the assembly.

The hammond box comes with countersunk screws. Ordered some black oxidized panhead screws instead (6-32 x 5/16).

Soldered the power supply cables to the backside of the panel, and crimped on end sleeves.

Right angle usb-B connector for the Arduino MEGA 2560.
Bought the shortest cable possible, 0.5m.

Barb fitting screwed into a 6mm bulkhead push fit connector, for manifold air pressure.
Used thread sealant (loctite 542) to seal between the barb- and bulkhead fitting.

The opposite end of the silicone hose, connected to the pressure sensor.
Secured with an 9mm hose clamp.
Used nylon screw (M4x15) and nut to secure the pressure sensor to the board.

I like the look of this on the enclosure but why not just have a metal variant jetted out? The only component that really utilized the pcb aspect that I can see is the power connector. I feel that the panel would be more robust as a metal, perhaps aluminum or stainless. Either way still looks pretty awesome, and very clean.

Just a suggestion, but I'm starting to avoid your thread, as the photos are so large they slow the loading on my desktop. Forget looking at them on the phone. :x Could you edit your posts to resize the photos smaller? I try to keep them under 500 px wide to fit most screens, but anything smaller would be helpful. Thanks!

Thanks! :) I got inspiration from this article on hackaday and also this video from mikeselectricstuff.
What would the price per panel be if you made them in metal (cut, deburred, surface treated and printed)?

Ouch :? yeah you are right!
I tried to edit the pictures in my first post on page two.

500px or smaller though, that is really blurry.
I tried 1024px wide and 70% jpeg compression, better?
