I have been looking for a long time for the right grills. I have a sterling silver dragon on front of my case. Bought these on Ebay....$25 for the pair. What do you think? :D

They look really nice, but i love the ones at Directron ( cant remember for sure ) that are really nicely chromed, in the shape of the Air Force wings. They also have a blue one which looks really sweet.

I just found them and theyre at Crazypc in case you wanted to know. Theyre a bit cheaper than what you paid, (they have some in the dragon shape too) but maybe not after shipping.
Dude, now i see them in perspecitive, the look cool but how much air do they block?

Fitted them in the side of the prommie, hard to do because of hose location, etc, but tornado blowing on video card and the other blows on hard drives:

That's the one...dragon design....mirrored front. I was really wanting metal instead of plastic...but can't find in dragon design. If I ever do, I will replace them.

It'll be really cool if you could illuminate the dragon with an LED.

I ended up using an air conditioner filter. It does not have a tight weave so gets good airflow. Install on outside of case between case and grill. Inside would impede fan blades.
Very simple mod I know, but hey, I had a camera handy and thought some of you might like to see it.:D

it also makes it look better!! u cant see the blades or atleast not in the pics which imo looks very clean!

Yeah...I like the looks and also keeps the fans from sucking dust into the case. :D
