Here's a question for all you design folk. I've been tinkering with the drawbridges from tinker's construct, and came up with a neat way (I think) to show off/protect my AE network drives, still provide access to them, and have everything out of the way. I've connected up lighting, a block walkway, and stairs up to a half-height level. When no access is required, the lights turn off to show off the drive light glow, the walkway retracts, and the glass barrier comes down.
I'm pretty sure I want to fill in the 2 block "hole" at the back of the stairs when the stairway is up, as it just looks a bit funny without. My main question though, is how should I enable access for my ME drive system? I could have it as simple as a button toggle, a lever combo lock, or something else entirely. I'll be using a ME controller, so I could come up with something really off the wall, but I will need to access the drives periodically, so it can't be something too involved. Any thoughts?
