acey.... what ur looking for is actually very very rare as its actually a very controlled substance... its against the law to simply sell it to anyone.... if ur really lucky u might be able to find it... try sourcing around.... u never know ull might get lucky

and its called 'double sided tape'







laugh.gif

hehhehe...sorry sorry sorry...couldnt resist laugh.gif notworthy.gif notworthy.gif notworthy.gif

but seriously... thats what ianho uses for sticking his acrylic to his sidepanels.. just get the black foam kinda double sided tape and tape it all along the window edges.. u can check his project cheapskate log...i think there might be some pix of it there...

depends on what kinda power socket ur fan is using... if its using the 3pin fan header than u can directly plug in to any free 3 pin fan header on ur mobo.

but if its using the standard 4pin molex. then ur gonna need to plug in to ur PSU. unless of course u cut off the molex and replace it with the 3 pin header.

n btw, picture so small laaaaaaa...how to see ??? doh.gif

the lights will be connected to a small box (which is the inverter) and in turn the inverter will be connected directly to the PSU

thats a problem with ur powerpoint la bro....not ur case...

are u using an extension cable??? if yes, change it to a better/newer one. if plug in direct to the wall...then ur gonna have to try another wall plug.

one more thing..make sure ur cable to the PSU has 3 pins on the plug head. last time i use got 2-pin oso kena same effect as urs laugh.gif

i wanna cut hole for my fan.. i just dunno how to draw correctly for it..any guidelines or formula??

for 80mm i just take the fan and draw following the fan outline.. but is not nice wan..

how about 120mm?? rclxub.gif

dunno about 80mm.... but for 120mm u can just se a CD to get the perfect circle with the right size. only problem is after that u need to figure out a way to do the screw holes.

agreed....

just because its not the "right/pro" way doesnt mean its merepek.

using whatever method they can think of with whatever materials they have is fine if it works and gets the intended result. actually have to give thumbup.gif for creativity. people work with what they have..not many would go out and buy something just to use it once.

i think if u see how i shaved off the sides of my KSC75 in my Franken PhilKoss mod oso ud prolly call it merepek.

as for maths and physics, i failed maths and i didnt learn physics laugh.gif

great thanx for da info doom, and are there any thing i should avoid or concerns that i hav to look into regarding carbon sticker(etc, false carbon sticker, how to look after it, wht should not b expose to it and kinda like that)
*
i get the impression that u think the carbon sticker is actual carbon fibre man...

the carbon fibre sticker is just like normal sticker.... only printed with carbon fibre design so its not original/ real carbon fibre...just a normal sticker. applying, taking care of it etc etc is just like any other normal sticker.
