the box (in the red lined box) is inverter.
as u can see at the upper part of it (green lined circle) is 2 wires connecting to ur ccfl tubes..
while the lower part (yellow lined circle) is a wire to connect to ur psu..
well, usually it connect to pci controller/switch first then it goes to psu..

PS - if the picture is not clear enuff, u may want to zoom it at the inverter part..

I wouldn't suggest welding since for one, the equipment is hard to get and not to mention you need some amount of training to handle it safely. And you'll probably end up melting the mesh and making a butt-ugly black mark on that panel as a result.

Besides, you dont need such a strong joint. I reckon some quick drying hot glue will do the trick.

And as for double sided tape, it might not be so ideal because the mesh doesn't provide much surface area for the gum to bond to.

Avoid welding aluminium where possible. Very mafan. Need to sand off the layer of alu-oxide before u can start and if those welding sparks gets onto your skin, it'll itch like an ant trying to burrow into your skin. laugh.gif

aiya, strong la, don't use the normal double sided tape one, use the high performance like Lian Li did on some of their casing, just double sided tape --> which is f****ing strong...

ask Ianho, he knows better --> cause he also use em too for all his modding job laugh.gif

Bleh its very simple to do a small welding..
Get a car battery....
Get that cable used to charge another battery (dont know wat its called) and clip a metal on each end...
Then weld it.

If you're gonna mount it permanently, epoxy it. If you want to make it removable, totally different story. Or you can use silicone as it's sort of semi-removable.

I'm also mounting that same honeycomb grill to the top of my mod project for the radiator intake. I've designed the mounting to be removable (so that I can clean dust or replace the grill in case it gets dented) with the combination of screws and bolts, an aluminium retaining piece, and the part holding the screws is epoxied to the panel. LOL, that probably didn't make sense coz I don't know how to put it in words, but that part of my mod should be completed by end of this week.

I think better to use Epoxy, would be strong enough for quite some time. If not, get it welded. I think I remember doing some welding job last time during industrial training on some flat metal plate, the outside wouldn't be affected much, mayb u need to repaint the external side, but the internal side, you'll need to grind the excess weld away to make it nicer. Careful too coz you might not notice that the grinder could have over done it. I once grind a welded part to smoothen it, for only 10 seconds, i made the weld gone and created a hole on the metal plate. Had to pay the cost of that metal plate and they didn't even give me that metal plate back since I've paid it. sweat.gif
