Parts, materials and design

Ok so after much debate with myself thinking and planning for the design of my FTIR LCD setup I have come to a conclusion. Due to quite intense time constraints on my project I will constructing a simple cube. Roughly: Height 42cm, Width 45cm and 65cm Depth.
I really hate that I'm basically throwing out any ability to design something nice but unfortunately its function over form at the moment.

The Parts:
acrylic
IR Leds to surround frame
Wood for Box (MDF)
Webcam (with ir filter removed)
17" LCD mounted inside box with accessible cables.
Power supply for IR LEDS
Compliant surface (silicon pour onto acrylic)

I'll be purchasing all the parts soon and will start construction soon.
