Default New Fans and a CC....

I just got my new fans and a Cold Cathode from Voyeurmods.com's sale. I would like to reccomend their $.85 clear fans, they're quiet and move enough air... Thanks to whoever posted their sale in the news...

My case is FINALLY done. Now I just need to solve the cabling issues.

PS: Sorry about the post in the gaming forum....I got going and accidentally hit gaming instead of goes.

Yeah, I had that tubing stuff, but I'm waiting for money for a new PSU before I redo all the cabling.... And an etching would be cool, but I wouldn't want to mess it up...after all, the case took 3 months to build, I wouldn't want to mess it up trying to improve it if you know what I mean....and i don't want to get one of those fake etchings..

Nice looking there camper...... I dont like plexi cases my self, but keep it up

IDEA: why not put a "window" in the sucker. or rather an Anit-Window^_^ Since all metel cases have a clear plexi window, you all clear plexi case, can have a piece of metel where the window should be

Haha...that would be pretty funny, but it would defeat the purpose...lol.... I liked the idea for the case a while ago, but now, if I had a choice to do it again, I would so something differently...(ie. not plexiglass) It was fun though...I guess I'll have to wiat for my college rig next year before I can make a new case...I think I'm going to go completely custom again!

Happy...Remove the casings off your devices and the PS...It will give it a lot different look! I did it to my Last Project and like it a lot! It adds to the clear plexi/acrylic look. Also, try and fabricate new device fronts out of plexi/acrylic.

Also, to those that do plexi/acrylic cases a few hint's:

-Clear is being overdone and there are plenty of other plexi/acrylic color choices available (Pink, Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Purple, Smoked etc)
-Also, you can buy plexi that is not smooth to give a totally different look (I almost went that way with my last project)
-Drill slowly and from both sides...the holes come out cleaner and do not crack the plexi/acrylic
-Fabricate your own fronts
-A great tool to cut plexi is a RotoZip with the correct blade, it works like a charm and can get very detailed if you have a steady hand and practice
-PRACTICE FIRST
-Measure many times before you cut

---------

Forgot to mention Happy, good job on your case, it looks like you spent the time to do it right and planned it out.

@Taz

As soon as the warranty runs out on the Optical Drives, I will do some more with them. I'm getting a new PSU soon, and I'll see what I can do ...

I like the mirror acrylic. With exterior lighting on and interior lighting off, it is a mirror finish. When you dim the exterior lights and turn on the interior lights...Bam, see through case.

Now, let's see how many of you pimps beat me to it.
