For the hardware-interested among us, it'd be great if the website could have a few more images of the WARBL in various stages of assembly. I'm particularly interested in a high-res picture of the PCB next to the enclosure, also a dimensions sheet would be cool (both of these as I'm interested in if there is any room at all to cram more things in it
It'd be good to know how easy it is to repair - e.g. how the PCB is removed from the enclosure.
A "Making of the WARBL" video would also be cool and could get you publicity on the various hardware hacker / Arduino sites like hackaday etc.

Re: More Hardware Porn!
Thanks for the suggestions-- I've been posting some assembly photos to the Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/WARBLmusic
I've attached a few of those here. Next time I assemble a batch of them I'll try to take more detailed photos. The black foam that you see is for sound-deadening purposes only.
To answer your question about available space, there's some, but not much . It would be possible to fit a few more small MCUS and passive components, but not a battery, with the current enclosure. I've tried to keep all the SMD components to one side of the board to reduce assembly cost, but I suppose some could be added to the other side as well. I'll work on a dimensions sheet--you can also take measurements from the KiCAD files.
