    Wow looks great. Need to sand and generally clean up the cuts. It might just be me not paying attention properly/crap pictures.

    Looks awesome tho. You should be proud of yourself.

    i love how you just made the circular cutting tool, simply because you didn't have one. now that's a sign of a true modder! =)

    you said about controlling the led's with the parallel port, i'm assuming you're making some small VB program (or whatever language) to switch certain outputs on and off... i did that a while ago where the outputs drive relays, which switch fans on and off.

    that thing looks really nice :) i love the effects that you have got with the plexiglass, but in my honest opinion you should tint the outside :) because

    firstly, you will still get all the effects that you are getting at the moment,

    secondly, the CD drive where its bolted on looks a bit ugly tbh, cos you can see the plastic :) it would hide that :)

    blinking leds

    This is really a nice plexi case. I especially like the blinking led effects

    I have a question about them: Is it also possible to connect them to a serial part in stead of a parallel (lpt) port? I really want to use this effect in my case but I also want to have a lcd display hooked up to the lpt port.


    greetz,

    Joungne
