    Heh, i already posted this in modding, but i didnt think i would go any further with it

    I started out with engraving the fatal1ty logo on one of my drive covers
    It was my second engraving, i think it turned out pretty well

    Then i engraved the logo onto the side panel

    I eventually cut it out

    Quick question: How do you suppose i could get rid of those silver area's left over from the cut?

    Soon i will be going to Lowes and picking up a sheet of plexi, i havnt decided how i want to mount it, either some type of adhesive or something that resembles rivits, more to come soon :)

    A permanent black marker pen on the silver edges normally works for me... give it a try :thumb:

    Looks nice. You could use a perminant marker, or you could sand the entire panel down and re-paint.

    The best thing to do would be to sand everything down, and powdercoat it dark red :)

    from reviews i read, the intel version of this board taht your looking at doesnt seem to come with this panel. if you want an intel board, i suggest the ASUS P5N32-SLI Deluxe, its the same price as my abit, though 200$ was well worth it for me.

    *edit* ho and jokkocze, what do you mean by power coat?

    Good stuff, though I'll never quite understand the fanfare behind "Fata1ty (I'll indulge him with the '1')". I suppose gamers need some sort of "hero" figure, but then again, pro-athletes are pretty silly too.
