So have been experimenting and am pleased with the results. I figured you guys would get the biggest kick out of my endeavor, so i'll post it here first.
Not bad for a prototype. I went for making the wires discrete, rather than making myself crazy trying to conceal them completely. Looking at it now I guess I could have made the terminal a little smaller, but oh well. Anyhow, I hope you kinds like it. Comments and questions, welcome.
