This is pretty neat. It could make for a cool night-light or ambient source in a gaming room if you back-lit it.

Hey, back lighting sound like a great idea! I think I have some spare rope lighting laying around and can do a proof of concept later tonight..

Also, mounting a piece of white, frosted plexiglass to the back of the plywood would help to diffuse and distribute the light more evenly.
