Sounds like a good plan Steve.

Hi,

When I started putting my K-Line together, and only owned the K3, I made 
cardboard boxes up in the dimensions of
the future equipment I planned on.  I copied the front/back panel pics 
from the elecraft site and scaled to the actual
dimensions & printed.  I then pasted these on the front/back of the 
cardboard mockups. I then moved them around,
picturing how everything would go together.  Helped a lot on cable flow, 
especially for the coax.  The final setup
was totally different than I first pictured!  Its a bit of work, but it 
saved a LOT of rework in the end.  Be sure to consider
where exhaust fans need clearance, etc.  Sit in front of the "rig", 
reach for "knobs", etc. See how the total setup
feels  before you start cutting wood
