I am looking into my options with making a home docking station for my Empeg. All of the home docks I've seen use a hacked car sled for making the various connections, which to me, has some limitations I would rather not deal with.

I was thinking that, with some careful positioning and securing of the power, RCA, and Ethernet jacks, I might be able to build a docking station where I can slide the empeg in and have those jacks snap in normally. Obviously the ethernet cable would have to have the little plastic lock ripped off, and such a design might have to be tweaked a lot, but couldn't this work?

I just don't want to hack up my only remaining sled, nor do I want to deal with the task of wiring up all the connections on the wiring loom when there's already jacks for home audio and home power wiring on the unit.

So has anyone out there built a home dock without using a sled? If so, can I see some project pictures? I want to get an idea of if this is feasible, and then maybe start working on it. If my only option is to hack a sled, I might not bother.
