The Schaeffer panel is actually a sub-panel that I will bolt onto the panel that came with the case. The original panel is formed perfectly to fit the back of the enclosure and has a lip to hold in the top cover. I will cut a hole in it for the components to fit through and drill holes for machine screws.
The main driver for doing it this way was that I wouldn't have to drill perfect holes for all the components and then worry about how to label them. Also, it will be a lot smarter to have the labels printed and I can add a bit of logo. This will also let me see how good he UV print is with plain white on the anodized black aluminium. If it's really good I could go back to the idea of using that for the front-panel.
First I laid it out in Front Panel Designer, paying careful attention to the data sheets for all of the connectors. I entered legends for each connector as a placeholder and they were marked as do not produce.
I then created a print layer in Inkscape.

| Front Panel Designer view with the print layer added |
Hence I have to work around that.
 |
| Full Rear-panel layout with the FDP render imported and nuts etc added - the area reserved for G boards marked in green |
Everything fits, so here's a 3D render from FPD.

I will wait for it to arrive before cutting the main panel and wiring things up.
The G boards are already screwed into the baseboard but I will wait till the rear panel is done before fixing the others.
