My newest case mod

I go to Kansas State University, so I have always thought it would be cool to put the logo in the side of my case. Well I was talking to a guy who works at an airplane manufacturer a couple of days ago and he started talking about all the cool machines they have to cut aluminum for the planes. Well, I have an aluminum case, so I asked him if he could do it. This was the result. I just need to get a light to put in there now.

Very cool! You may want to put some lexan behind it, so the corners don't get bent in. That's going to look great when its all done.

There is a piece of plexiglass behind it already, and on the small pices, i just used liquid nails to secure them to the plexiglass.

http://www.svc.com/1laledcaco.html - These are super bright LEDs.

http://www.svc.com/3laledclco.html - These aren't quite as intense, but they do spread the light a little more.

That case is going to look great! Keep the pics coming.
