Actually, any feedback is good feedback.  I began to wonder if I had 
assembled something wrong or had done some other completely bonehead 
move I'm so famous for.  ;)

Looks like I'm right on track.

I've been working on it all day today.  I need to re-update the wiki - I 
modified the slot width to account for the envelope of the Ozy and Janus 
and it seems to work great - I'm calling that problem solved, for now. 
I also have rough designs of the close-out strips, including a blank 
strip and strips for Ozy and Janus.  I'm not yet thrilled with these 
designs, but they do work for now.

I uploaded a quick sneak peek to:

Note that some of the close-out strips are on the wrong side, etc... 
Was fooling with externally mounted close-out strips at first, but that 
wasn't all that great.

That funny thing sticking out of Ozy is a USB type B plug model, as I 
wanted to make sure the hole in the close-out strip cleared the plug.
