    Well all of the holes are drilled in the plexi for the window on my old seagate baracuda scsi hard drive, I've decided on using the removable top piece's shape for my design (the lid had a unique shape to it, wasn't a big square), tomorrow I cut the piece out so I can make it look nifty... won't know if it works until next week... nor will I hav pictures until then

    I drilled out the knobs for my rheobus while I had the drill out so I could do the macro-esqu look of having them light up... only mine are just going to be little red lit up dots instead of the lit up slits

    While I'm cutting the acrylic for the HDD window, I'm going to take the rest to make myself a clear acrylic stand for my CF parallel LCD... shouldn't be too difficult

    Also drilled the hole so I can use my jigsaw to cut out the top of my case for the top mount window I plan on installing... didn't drill out the hole for the blowhole that I plan on putting in it, but I will bring the drill bits back with me to school so I can do the blowholes there (I plan on putting on in my side window as well)

    I think tomorrow I'll cut some metal & acrylic, and make a trip to Loews (Home Depot type store) to get some vinyl dye and some cutoff wheels for the dremel

    Also going to trim an old Duron heatsink down to size to make a north bridge cooler, and trim down some ThermalTake memory heatsinks so they'll actually fit on my Radeon.... wish me luck everyone (and that I don't lose any vital body parts (fingers) while I'm doing this stuff)

    You'll want to try an auto parts store for the vinyl dye.

    well the piece for the hdd window is cut, ready to be installed, and the top to my case is cut and i didn't lose any fingers... though i am slightly deaf now, but thats ok... the ringing will go away... not for the pain in the butt part... putting the actual window in the top
