I like your light, I went fancy also and added a power on light, standby light, and on/off switch since mine didn't come with one.

My next planned upgrade is to do away with the binding posts and switch over to 5mm bullets. The back side of the binding post is such a small connection.
I actually soldered all the 12V and Ground wires to a piece of metal and then just bolted that piece of metal to the binding posts. Made it easy to put together. I still need to glue the LED housing in place, but at least it works! Looking back though I should have put the binding posts on the non grated side. Would have been a little more solid when mounted, but they work just fine.

Luckily this PSU had an on/off switch already built in for me ;-)
