Silver trim??

[cokecan]

hey guys, im lookin for a thin bit of silver trim to go round the edge of a hole i cut in my case, round my arctic cooler.

I'm after somethin thats quite thin, cos i think too much might make it look tacky

any ideas what to get and where from (providing its not a competitor)

Cheers

ah nice one guys, but £3 odd for delivery for a bit of silver (chrome) lol. may wait till theres something else i need to keep delivery costs down

i was actually thinking chrome would be better as the bolts ont he front of hte case are chrome too, so would match them nicely

thanks a lot

lol would you be shocked if i said a fret saw??

i just masked it off and then drew where i needed to cut, then used a fret saw which was just big enough to twist round the corners of my case. then just used a bit of light emery paper and a file to smooth it out

couldnt afford a dremel at the time so stuck to what i used before. any mod i seem to do on any of my shuttles ive used saws and even used a pair of tin snips on one of my cases. jsut literally cut out a hole (was for a planned window that never made it in) like you would cut paper with sissors (the pic below)

this was my last case: i also modded the chassis same way i did the case to fit one of them big ass delta fans in(120x38mm, 190 cfm) after the old mobo died from volt modding. made my own fan and LED controller to go with it too (2 switches on the front, switch between 5v and 12v fans, the other to turn LED on and off). also done the stealthed drive bay, just need to press the cover anywhere and the cd drive should eject. then as you can see by the first pic, i decided i was tired of silver, so went black which looks much more sexeh!
