    I have this butt ugly power button:
    [​IMG]

    Note that the hole for the bottom is cut to go inwards, kind of recessed.

    Obviously, this button is indeed ugly, and plain, and horrid. The only thing i can come up with is to paint it blue and hope it just blends in with the case.

    Anyone have any other ideas????

    Thanx

    That means drilling the holes wider, or making my own small button, the guide ot make your own is pretty good, maybe i could try that out.

    hydrogen18 your old avatar piccie was much better than the ev0l m0nster fan, and it also matched "phear the hand". Just my opinion.

    Hey. Check this out... ;)
    Might look cool in a clear case, so you can see the mounting bracket and stuff. On mine, the whole mounting bracket on the back of the bezel glows.

    my .02 - remove buttton, drill out large chunk of middle, replace with small piece of acrylic (/plastic, etc.), paint button, find some way to place LED in back of button, replace button. now you have a painted glowey button :eyebrow:
