One question, how are you going to crome the inside?

[Techmasta]

If they did work, they aren't working any more.

[Tawcan]

Looks good so far. That's a lot of fans you're using. ;)

[kommando]

One question, how are you going to crome the inside?

Well, take it a to pro chroming place and get them to chrome the interior. Ill figure sometihng out but it'll be like dat but very expensive.

[kommando]

I've decided not to chrome the inside but instead paint it black which i have done and then glosses it. I also glosses the panels so they're shiny> pics up after watercooling rig goes on which is on tuesday so stay tuned fellahs and ladies.

[levitate]

you havnt gotten much done...

[kommando]

Yer i know, the bloody watercooling pump decided to burst.

[levitate]

lol that sucks, i was just wondering because its been jusst about 2 weeks, and all you had was a black case w/ a power supply :p

[kommando]

Actually doing stuff now.....

I installed the cold cathods switches last night because i was really bored. This is my first mod anyway and these holidays are relaly busy so i try and get as mcuh work as i can done. The reason there wasn't mcuh done is 2 weeks ago i painted the case and tried to uplaod the photos and have been trying to get hte photos working without any luck and now its working at certain moments.

First drill a small hole to make drilling with a bigger drill bit easier.
http://www.1stclasspcs.com/guest/uploader/upload/IMG_0007.JPG

Then increased the hole with a file, and absolutey §§§§ed it but hey i suck.
http://www.1stclasspcs.com/guest/uploader/upload/IMG_0008.JPG

I then fitted the switch in by taking off the wire using pliers then pushed the switch through the hole then re-connected the wires.
http://www.1stclasspcs.com/guest/uploader/upload/IMG_0009.JPG

These were the wires i had to pull out.

I then installed the cold cathodes by sticking on velcro on the ends and sticking them ont he bottem and side of the case. I couldn't run them off 1 invertor because i couldn't find a place where the invertor would be in range for both cathodes.

This a shot of the switches in contrast with the black case.

A shot of the so called hidden invertors.
