Okay, so I'm a Cylon, and I am hijacking this thread... well more of a derail question vs a full on hijack 
In these three photos (if the "quote-a-post" works) there are the wooden cross members... As I am starting to ponder my own build's "guts" (literally my battlestar is all over my living room floor RIGHT NOW)...
My question is why all the circle holes in the wooden cross members?
Are they to run wires/fiber optics? Less weight? Cooling? ... or all of the above??? Are the holes on both sides for weight balance - why not just put everything on one side (electronic's wise)?
I think that'll do - evil Cylon hijacking done.
Thanks for any feedback - and thanks for sharing this wonderful thread! Of course, I wish the damage never happened, but I am very glad to see and learn from it/you all.
Edit - the quote didn't work - I am talking about post #29 in this thread: http://www.studioscalemodelers.com/forum...9#pid21209
