    smoke windows arent much different from clear ones, IMO....in fact, if i had the choice on the pre-made side panel on my Lian Li PC65, id get a smoked window...looks better in teh light than a clear one dows, and it doesnt block out the cathodes overmuch.

    i have a blue CC behind a smoke window - and although it cuts the light down loads - it looks great :)

    hehe i was waiting for that one :D

    btw, i bought a dremmel the other day and i'm a little confused as to what all these nice disks do :D

    I've got a thin metal circular saw kinda thing , about 20 thin ceramic disks, and two very thick what look like grinding or filing disks. WHAT THE HELL DO I USE TO CUT LOVELY SHAPES IN MY METAL CASE? :)

    anyone know?

    do you mean blowhole trim or heatshrink tubing?

    I have only just discovered the joys of heatshrink...

    Basically if you solder two wires together you then slip over some heatshrink and stick the soldring iron on it and it insulates it nicely... much neater than wrapping it in insulating tape.

    go to maplin and search for heatshrink
