Well, lets see:

1) Rear access rather than side access.
2) Bigger :-)
3) Hidden hinges on the door.
4) Bigger desk area, for crap!
5) Flush fitting doors.
6) Wood veneer rather than sprayed pre-cat lacquer. (More classy :-))
7) Some sort of cable management, there must be a way!
..........plus more...

Actually most of the changes are design and aesthetic rather than HA
related. Most would also be considered "knit picking" but I'm a
bit fussy
about detail!

The key to HA for me is visibility. I don't want to see anything other than
what I need to see and realistically that's a screen and an IR eye! And as
for a wall full of switches and panels, yuck!

My ultimate (If cost no object) aim would even to be to hide the screens
with panels and motors etc! Hah! Dream on!


Many thanks,

Rob
