Holy ****! Thats just amazing Dremel work!!! How did you get the square USB ports though with the round cutter?

as close to the egde as poss and then needle file

Decided to go with my original idea and have the grill on the outside, need another one now for the window side of the case not sure whether to just have a airhole or connect a fan to it, would you say a side fan is necessary?

Got 6 ambers this weekend and put them in, decided to make a bracket for the fan extensions (for the four back fans)from the scrap from the top cutout,

finished job will bolt it in the gap behind the motherboard tray

Nix

That's amazing dremel work though. Any chance of a guide when this is all done and dusted?

if it's of help to anybody i certainly don't mind

fan extensions now bolted in, just thought i'd try the side panel to see if it fits ok, which it does, but glad i tried it cus i masked up the wrong side panel for the window :eek:

was going to cut it today too :eek:

so so glad i didn't

Put the window in the side panel now

have to decide on lighting!!! was going for blue but now i'm thinking maybe orange or amber more like a tiger colour...

That looks like the one

but will ask at work for sure

It should cut through steel np but would imagine it will blunt a bit quicker.

I just use mine freehand and either sand back with a grinder or file, those bits are great for going close to the line but you have to hold them firm. You can get the dremel bit for £6.99 post free on the auctions

Ok 99% sure this is it http://www.garryson.co.uk/products_burrs.html#

It's a miniature burr (3mm) either D-Max / Coarse Cut or Double / Diamond Cut, would say the D-Max / Coarse Cut, looks like they are specific for metal

hope this helps but will ask at work

Fan controller arrived today

seems to be fully working and not in bad nick, will need a 5 more sensors though (still shouldn't grumble for the price i paid) fan in it is awful

need to replace that, the only 4cm quiet fan i can see is a Rasurbo are they any good? need to get my thinking head on how i can fit it in my Lian-Li bezel :confused:

Asked about the cutter at work they are garryson and other they are from Buck & Hickman.

Active 95 · 3 May 2006 at 19:25

Thanks Raikiri I'll take a look

why not just ditch the fan and mod the working bits into a lian li bezel?

It's good to talk

never even crossed my mind about the fan just assumed it was needed

but as you rightly say it will be worthless!!! will be much easier to mod into my bezel now, thanks for the input.

Active 95 · 5 May 2006 at 20:23

Had an hour on the front bezel for the fan controller tonight, hope i can get it finished this weekend

How did you get those tiny holes so nice?

needle files and sore fingers

Active 95 · 6 May 2006 at 16:28

Ok job done, just need a little bit of leveling

and my stuff arrived this morning for my final bit, going to make bracket and fit in chrome holders and fit 5 amber leds for the lighting, should be ready to move in then

Is that a digidoc 5? If you need any spares drop me an email

Yep it's a digidoc 5,

Thanks m8 have mailed you

Active 95 · 10 May 2006 at 18:53

Used a scrap piece from my side panel to make a little case for the leds, hope to wire it up at the weekend

With chrome holders fitted

Active 95 · 10 May 2006 at 19:52

Yewen

I dont personally like that, taking the subtle Lian Li styling a bit to far in my opinion.

To each his own i reckon

i'm happy with it

, and the end of the day it won't be seen when the sides are on but it looks really tidy in there

Active 95 · 13 May 2006 at 19:46

Sorry Yewen but i finished the leds today

Pics aren't brill but i got the effect i was after

Active 95 · 20 May 2006 at 18:30

Finally moved everything into the case today!!! Think the inside looks a bit messy although loads of room around the motherboard. Moved the digidoc down to the bottom so that all the fan cables don't drop all over my drives.

Need two new stealth bezels to finish off the front and need to read up on how to use the digidoc5 (i've got all 7 fans running at the mo) will get the sensors set up when i can!!!

Blue bulgin doesn't fit in now

, the digidoc is amber and the hd led is red so will be swapping for a red bulgin. Got a red rocker switch on top and it has a red led on it, unfortunately when it's on it takes power from the amber leds, so that will become redundant i've seen an aluminium rocker switch to replace it, apart from that it's job done
