anyway, bro, it's kinda potong stim sad.gif to see you use that type of screws.....
i got a whole bag of chromed rounded allan key screws (4mm) that are so hot man coz it looks very smooth and it blends into any casing nicely.
i think i got the american chopper fever a bit, coz i emphasize on detailing too much rclxub.gif rclxub.gif

Gimme sum of those allan key screws lar.  laugh.gif  laugh.gif  laugh.gif I cant find them here lar. I thought of using those colored aluminum allan screws like for the car number plates but they're too big for this window mounting. I needed sumthin small n compact.

As u can c in the pix, the clearance for the screws were extremely tight. I had to fit the screws inside a space of 1cm. Coz the window had to b big to fit the 120mm fan n also there's a metal thingy under the window thats 1cm away from the edge.  I spent like 1.5 hours just measuring, measuring, measuring n checking over n over again to make sure the dimensions were right coz of the tight measurements.

Can belif it, I live 5 minutes away from 2 huge commercial Hardware stores like Ace n Home DIY n yet I cant find nicer screws.
Will hafta go look for those bling bling screws soon for other projects.  biggrin.gif  biggrin.gif
Hehehe.  I enjoyed every minute of it. It's extremely satisfying, working on a superb case with superb built quality n materials like the Ah Lian.

actually those screws serve more practical uses than cosmetic uses.
it's so much stronger on torsional test (twisting), it will not get corrodded, and it's so hard !!!
those screws are actually meant for machinery rather than side panels man wink.gif
