These LEDs super bright, it can light up your whole room with a single LED, also able to change 8 difference colours,
and i plan to insert it into the CPU casing,

what fails:
Jigsaw break 60% of my precious acrylic boards, therefore cover less for it.
acrylic glue is better than screw,
wrong dimension. acrylic bending fails.

going to 2nd attempt next 2 months.

there are a small heatsink is at the back of the LED.. "star plate" as long as it is not in fullpower it wont melt the acrylic... also it not directly contact with acrylic.. ya.. this is 1W LED.. full power will burn ur eyes..

its ok bro.. we learn from failures nod.gif

nice job on the acrylic there.. try using lower speed when cutting acrylic with jigsaw.. especially thin ones and clamp them on a super flat surface

the reason for having an acrylic case (see through) is so that you or people can see the inside of the PC. Having messy cables and things squeezed like that is not nice.
