DO NOT hold the bay cover with your hands.

You should place the bay cover in a vise, clamped, but not clamped too hard as to bend your work.  Sometimes I use bowlers rosin available at any bowling alley, to increase the grip strength, without have to clamp down the vise so hard.  Also backing up the work piece with a piece of wood helps too.  After drilling, de-burr the holes to avoid any sharp edges.  I used a de-burring tool available at any firearms stores that sell reloading supplies.  A Dremel too works too. Just turn the speed down and don't get carried away, remember, your just de-burring.

• Attach the template you printed (or your own).
• Punch each spot, where the hole are to be drilled.
• Drill the pilot hole with the smaller bit.
• Drill the 15/64 hole
• De-Burr the holes.
• Take the nuts & washers off switches, except for the last nut.
• Throw the washers in your cool junk box, you won't need these for this project. 
• Stick the switch though the hole and decide how much you want it to stick though.
• Keep adjusting this until you have about 1 extra thread showing after the last nut is installed.
• Any problems keeping the nuts tight? try your finger nail polish.
• Warm up your soldering iron.
• Start cutting speaker wires about 3" or 4" long, then part both ends slightly with a utility knife.
• Strip both ends, Most computer devices use really fine wire so you may have to strip double the length and fold it over.
• Add your heat shrink tubing now, it's your only chance to do so.
• I add the heat shrink tubing as it' tends to stiffen up the wire, making the ends easier to find when all this is buried in the case.
• Solder the wires to switches, then crimp on the quick disconnects.
• Number the Quick Disconnects, 1 though 4 and the same on your devices.
• Tug on the disconnects to make sure they are secure.
