Here is pic after I blocked out the LEDs from shining through the mesh

That does look spectacularly cool. I reckon 3-6 months and we'll see it on a production Thermaltake case

Nah, it would have just 1 dim LED that flicked on and off, being totally useless but another feature they could claim on a case.

lol, another dig at Thermaltake Yewen

Think a lot of people will be making this nod though, does look really cool.

Ive been quite good last 3 months thank you very much!

There entire range is ok now, bar the Tsunami in my opinion as that still has to many throwbacks to the old era.

However I need not worry, Thermaltack seem to be going back down the more features at lower quality is better than less features that will actually work route.

Just a matter of time until they release a case that can do everything buy hold a PC.

That’s a great mod! I wonder if any CD drive manufacturers will pick up on the idea?

I'm not sure why none of the manyfacturers have ever done this. Other cool idea would be to make the loading tray out of clear transparent plastic and when it's lit from inside the CD unit the light will travel through the plastic and illuminate it.

That's really cool! Care to make a dummies guide for us unexperienced ones?
