So, the front triangle-dealy. I drilled the holes for it at school, so I don't have any pics of that. All I can say is that there are 5 holes ~1/2" big to mount onto the standoffs for the metal triangle already in place. I also cut a hole in the middle to make room for the LED bar that comes stock (I wanna keep it :P ). Anyways, here is the piece with the (terrible, useless) protective plastic still on it.


That small triangle was a test piece to see if 220 grit or 320 grit diffused better. I decided on 320.


Stupid plastic gone, washed with water and those drops were left over.

Sanding. 320 grit.


Sanding done. Looks pretty good at first glance....


But not the best at diffusing light. At this point I decided on making an aluminum cover for it, so the light only shines out the edges. Modders Mesh wasn't going to be enough.
And some beauty shots of the (now old) mobo...



I'm getting an Asus Maximus Formula 2.... not a shabby looking mobo at all.
No real pics of the making of this, but here is the top USB thing painted.

It was as simple as taking it apart, masking it, removing the un-needed cables (audio and e-sata) and painting. Turned out pretty well I think.
Next update, well,, hopefully some good pics of the build as it stands. System is installed but I am moving to the new mobo in a few days. Just hope it's nice and overcast tomorrow..... it's been really sunny lately, the light is too harsh.
