thanks so much for the support guys, i really appreciate it. i was begenning to think my constant updates were getting annoying, but i suppose i have a reason to update now.
so anyways, i went to one of my most favorite stores today, and got a few things. i walked out of there with a really awsome idea for case feet. this is what i purchased.
from left to right, ill name off what they will be used for. washers to go on top of the springs to the immediate right. both will be used as a tension device for the waterblock. eject button, power button, counter sinking screw for the case feet, and an accorn nut for the inside of the case where the feet will be attached.
i left out a picture of this nut, but its ok. i started making the case feet by cutting a piece of plex roughly the same size and shape as the bolt. one for the top and bottum of each bolt so there will be eight of them total.
next i marked the center of the plex piece and drilled a hole. i beveled the edges of it so that the screw would fit flush with the plex.
i then added shrink wrap to the bolts so that the leds wouldnt short. here is a picture with the leds in place.
here she is in the light. i have to remove some of the bolt so the acorn will hole it firmly in place. i have it clamped together just to get an idea.
here we are all lit up. not that impressive, huh? i know how to fix it, back to the drawing board.
tadaaa!!! i added two more leds facing upwards to illuminate the top piece of plex as well.
finally, a shot with them all finished. it took forever, but it was one of those things that i wll really appreciate later. tell me what you think of the feet. if anyone is interested i can sketch up a quick tut. just let me know.
