sorry for not updating this thread, been extremely busy with work and family. The light box is made of thin acrylic sheet with white cathodes inside. i myself didnt make it so cant tell you the specifics. A friend helped me with this.
Update: ive hit a rather serious snag recently. 2 of my OCZ SSD's went kaput just randomly, and my SR-2's southbridge fan has started acting all wierd. Would work when computer will boot but as soon as windows starts, it would stop working. This is making the southbridge heat up of course and im in the process of finding a solution to this (really dont want to take apart everything and send the board for RMA now). will keep you guys posted
