Howdy Y'all,

Well I finally got the balls to cut the side of my computer and put in a window. I figured hey why not make it big. So I made the window 11 x 14 inches. Thats pretty big for a little mid-tower. Well you guys be the judge...

And heres a good look at that beautiful AX-7 and stuff

You be the judge. ALSO Only cost me $1.98 TOTAL...

Nope I used a jigsaw and some good old fashion keep it in the lines work. OMG was that ever loud...My ears are still ringing and the neighbors are still bitching. I intend on putting a blue neon strip in the top and hopefully when I get my financial situation taken care of and I am not so sick and feeling crappy I'll go ahead and get a dremel. Mostly for etching designs in the plexy and some other mods I may do... Who knows but the blue neon light would finish the looks...And some form of chrome or silver strip to hide when I couldn't stay in the lines.

Crystal Fan from SVC. 80mm 22-52 CFM and only 41.3 Dbls at full blast. Adjustable and totally clear with a couple blue LEDs. Not a bad fan IMO. Others are just "fans" so whatever. I may add a duct to the window for the heatsink but....I am kind of lazy no a days with this computer. Who knows?
