Nice! 7237 is a great customizable case. :)
I have 4 of them, but not for much longer.

why not mount a fan on the window? might as well serve some cooling with all that cutting.

KpocAlypse a dremel wouldnt cut your case sides? Damn how thick is your case sides 1/4? :) I just used the cheap gridding wheels that came with the dremel kit. It was very easy just time consuming. I started to use a saber saw but just didnt.

iamwiz82, I already have a 120MM Panflo fan thats going in the top. One thing at a time :)

, it would cut, but took to dang long and used up too many blades...So i got out the sabre saw, and poof!, hole was cut in 5 minutes. That is a statement of supermicro quality...;)

That's pretty darn cool I'd say. Let us know when you light up the neon! I saved the link to show some friends too.

Where do you get window kits at? I wouldn't mind doing it to mine but I just can't see cutting up my Addtronics.

Don't use neon, get a cold cathode kit. They're much nicer IMHO. As soon as I'm done I'll take some pics for you all.

Speaking of which, does anyone here know how to join two seperate pieces of lexan together? I'm making a lexan yin-yang out of white and smokey frosted lexan pieces, but I haven't figured out how to join them yet.

Good job BuckMaster!

I've got a '7237' myself. Try making some kind of logo out of brass shimstock and attach it with brass rivets to the clear panel.

PrinceofWands...
Instead of hiding the seam, look around at Tandy Leather or a large craft store for brass hardware. They have chrome hardware as well. Join the two pieces with a piano hinge or just use your imignation.

Its just a hobbie. I meant to say a cold cathode tube but just said neon light instead.

Go to PCMODs they have the window kits onsale. There cheaper then the place were I bought mine. They wouldnt price match PCMODS kits. So Im not going to help them with advertiseing thier name. :p

Thanks Everyone!
