[A6] Updated Aurora Pics

[Rhen, Kris]

Actually the whitewash and others were just Photoshop mockups while I was
trying to decide on a color (not easy!)  The StainedX.jpgs are the final
decision color.  Too many people said the whitewashed one would not work
well, but I sort of liked it myself.  Oh well.  Maybe the next one :-)

The tilt wasn't hard at all.  Had to extend a couple cables for reach but
that wasn't hard (the main cable between the top and bottom PCBs is a
standard EIDE all-pin cable :-) so to just tilt as-is, only requires making
some supports (I used the side panel metal from the beta panel I bought, but
two strips of strong aluminum would work), drill a couple holes and
pop-rivet them in place (getting the angle consistent requires some
forethought).  The wood wasn't bad.  It just screws onto the side panel
metal, and I had to route a groove in it to fit the front panel edges (they
stick out farther than the side panel metal and are normally inserted INTO
the end cheeks)  Easy enough.

Thanks,
KRIS
