    Window mod

    Well after having windowed cases for the last eight years I thought I'd give it a break for a bit when I got my CMST. Turns out I missed having a window

    So I broke out my hole saw and nibblers:

          Hey thanks guys. Luis I use nibbling pliers to make the cuts:



          But first I start making the corner holes to get them rounded. I use these awesome metal cutting holes saws from Dewalt:

              I went to work and used a cutoff wheel (grinder)

                Hah, a nibbler is akin to using a fingernail trimmer to carve a Thanksgiving turkey. It takes FOREVER but it does make a good hole as you can't really mess it up it nibbles so slowly.

                  It didn't take me more than 15 minutes lol. I like the control aspect of it, and when I did use a dremel in the past to cut, I found myself doing more filing and touch up. This is done on the first shot.

                          Yeah! I use led strips to light up my cases. My antec case lights up blue, it looks really cool.
