You need 10 or more posts on the forum to vote BTW. Thanks for the thought though and of course your support. Sadly I am losing to another Aussie with immense skill, he will win, I am very glad I voted for him. It didn't feel......right to vote for myself.

Ah, hell. Glad you were nominated anyway. Guess I'll have to sign up over there and make a few posts for just this occasion in the future.

Once again guys, thank you all for your on going support, comments and votes for MOTM over at Bit-Tech. Sadly I am losing but I don't care, I am just honored to get nominated.
Today I didn't need to go into school so I got stuck into finishing my RAM cooler. I actually stated this on the weekend but ran into some problems, I will explain when I get to it later.
First I made a whole new batch of letters, the other ones were crap lol:
I then cut out some bits of plexi to glue in behind the letters I cut from the face plate:
I used some clear roofing silicon to glue the plexi in place:
Looks pretty good doesn't it?:
I left this to dry overnight to let the silicon dry properly. I came out the next day to drill the excess plexi out through the holes but the silicon was really weak and the piece of plexi kept falling off. I re-glued the plexi using an excessive amount of silicon and used a piece of wooden garden stake to keep the plexi pushed up toght against the mesh cooler.
Pic of the clamping phase:
I left the cooler like this overnight to let the silicon dry properly.
This morning I went back to the shed and got out my drill .
I drilled out all of the excess plexi from the front of the cooler. This is how the plexi pieces looked after:
Now you can't see any green plexi front on (except the letter of course).
I then glued the black letters over the green plexi:
I then installed the fans so I could get an idea of how it looked:
It actually looks a lot greener, my camera just doesn't pic kit up too well.
I was contemplating painting the fans to look like the rest of mine (green blades) but I think the plain blue would look better for this piece. It will make you look at the letters, not the fans.
The cooler in now 80% complete. All I need to do is cut a small piece of green plexi to fit in the hole in the top left of the RAM cooler. I am going to engrave "Project:" into the piece of plexi so the RAM cooler will read "Project: LEXA". One that is done I won't have to pick up my Dremel for a very long time .
I also finished off a few other bits today.
I Installed the stock mesh dust trap to the rear of the side intake fan using the same bolts and domed nuts as the rest of the mod. Looks really clean IMO.
Pics:
That's now finished.
I had another one of the fan grills which I installed on the side intake fan so I installed it to the rear exhaust fan:
I also got stuck into some cable management.
Here are the floppy bays which will be concealing the majority of my cables:
Currently you can see the power cables for the side intake fan, the 240mm radiator fans and the power lead to the RAM cooler. The only thing that's missing is the CCFL wire harness.
Here is a shot of the motherboard tray:
It's pretty neat ATM but there are a few more cables to go there yet.
Well that's all for now. I am going to mark up a piece of plexi which will fit in the RAM cooler later, I may even get around to working on the CCFL harness. Currently I leave you at 97% (case) completion WOOHOO!!! Until then...
Happy Modding.

Excellent work as always, love how you drilled out the plexi behind the RAM cooler so you can't see it. Simple solutions are always the best.
