Case Mod

I finally finished the cut out alien design on one of my computers. I used a dremel to cut out the design I made on the front of the case. I also cut a direct hole through the metal of the case to increase air flow and to reduce the noise level of air whooshing through the pin holes they had cut in the case.

I mounted the Antec Blue LED fan between the case cover and the metal, I blacked the center of the fan with a permanent marker to make it look like eyes of the alien. I also have a blue cold cathode tube running inside the case which helps the blue light look brighter. The case now has more air flow, it is quieter, and it looks cool.

I will have to look for a smoother cutting tool for the dremel as the bit I used didn't cut very smoothly. I need a better cutting, lower RPM bit, so the plastic doesn't melt so readily while I'm cutting out the design. Otherwise it looks pretty good.
