    which do you suggest to use? some look like they woudl be hard to mod due to the strange way they are put together.

    also, tri or quad LED fans?

    is it really worth my trouble? should i spend the extra ~$2 per fan and stop being stingy, or do it myself so i can say i did it?

    if you can get them for $2 extra then go for it.

    Just in the UK I couldn't find any orange ones so I just built them myself

    $6 each... thats not TOO bad. $2.50 more per fan, ohwell, saves me ALOT of work. ill jsut bite the bullet and do it, i have the $. hehe.

    now, i need a design for the side panel of a lian-li pc61. the case theme is black and white. so black case, white light from the inside. the side panel window isnt meant to be seen through and im using fogged acrylic.

    so my questions:

    1. what design for the window(water cutting IS an option)
    2. how do i attach teh acrylic to the aluminum?

    get someone to measure your case and then make somthing in autocad like your alias, or your favorite thing. should be quite easy =p

    that watercutter is what you should look at. will come out very sweet. :rock: thats what im planning on using

    This one is probably what you are looking for although it is out of stock at the moment. Try contacting SVC and see if you can get a close ETA on stock delievery.

    well how do i get someone to convert the image to teh cad file needed? i have a prog called autodesk 2004. i mightbe able to use that if i knew how. :rolleyes:
    any ideas for a design? teh case is a kind of good vs evil, dark vs light theme.


    thats what i was lookin at. ill just have to swing the $6 each, cuz it will look awesome and save me ALOT of work, and then i can use my white LED's to light the case.
