    Nice work! I really liked the cover plate with the japanese nice clean accent to the case.

    Thanks monkey! It's nothing close to your level of modding, but I think it's still decent

    As for a tiny-update:

    The world seems to be against me modding! My LEDs were actually supposed to be delivered Friday but I was out grabbing lunch at the time and so they left one of those stupid notes saying I had to pick it up today But, no biggy right, just one more day to wait?

    Wake up this morning, I get a call saying I was supposed to be in at work at 7. Apparently someone had forgotten to write it down on the schedule I was given. So, I'll be working all day today, and can't pick up my LEDs until Monday.

    TLHarrel and I have been working hard on measurements and designing the front and side panels, so I should have those soon. Still haven't decided on the motherboard cover yet.

    Also, I seemed to have burned out the LED color change switch on the case (lol) and so I'll have to rewire the front fan for blue LEDs seeing as they no longer turn on anymore. The side fan turns green, but if I leave the LED wire unplugged then it turns blue too. I may decide to switch them both out for white, we'll see

    FINALLY! An update with pics!

    I got the case badges mounted and LED lit, and I replaced the LEDs on the front fan with white ones. Here's some pics:

    Case badges:



    I apologize for the crappy picture, but it's the best the camera could do

    Front fan:



    I really like how they both turned out. However, because the front fan looks so good with the white, I'm thinking about redoing the side fan's LEDs as well, what do you guys think?

    Comments and suggestions are, as always, mucho appreciated!

    Looks awesome.
    Yes. do the fans to match. Take no shortcuts. If i can ever get mine done, those badges would be a cool addition.

    Another update with pics!

    I got the side fan LEDs swapped out, sort of. The old ones were like super glued in, so I just drilled some new holes I like it much better in white.



    I also got the case lighting LEDs on the door mounted and wired. They add a good amount of light!

    Here you can see the white painted Gentle Typhoons better.



    Here's a pic aimed more downward to show the light spread.



    This pic really shows how the white LEDs in the fan go with the white light inside the case.



    Almost done now! Just need the new panels from TLHarrel, but he's got a busy schedule so it could be a while

    Thanks for reading, comments and suggestions are always encouraged!
