Top Fillport ring installed.
I got my shipment in from mnpctech. A black ring. I also received a few surprises in the form of Diamond plate film, carbon fiber film, and the aluminum brush film. Quality stuff! Thanks Bill. :thumb:
I quickly traced out the area I wanted to cut on the top of the case.
Then I cut it out with my trusty jigsaw.
With the normal aspect done I moved to the unique part. This will not be for a fan, but for my fillport. My ring fillport sandwich.
I next measured and cut a circle the same size as the total ring in white acrylic. Its not totally solid, it lets light through.
Next I measured a center point.
Then I drilled a hole and inserted the fillport for a test
Then I did the same thing for the mesh
Finally I put the three together for my sandwich
With all of that set I was able to install it in the top. Here is the results:

*Ignore the one screw sticking out. Forgot to screw that one in before taking pics. :duh:
In this shot I stuck a flashlight inside facing up to show how light goes through the acrylic.
The fillport is now complete. The very last detail is the metal screw in part. I am going to paint the top silver, or something along those lines. I hate the goldish color. Got to change that. :dremel:
