Definitely will look super cool!  hehe! 3mm with diffused blue lens.. that should look pretty cool.. remember to drive it below 4v (3-3.5).. or else very fast poof..

QUOTE(MadCow @ Jan 16 2009, 10:39 PM) Guys, if u dont mind me interrupting. How do u cut a say 3 inch hole? I use to DIY myself but the outcome aint always nice. I'm thinking of DIYing a SOHA II but I'm having difficulties drilling 2 holes on the top of the casing for the tubes. can always "pinjam" some one's milling machine.. anyway there is this special adapter to fit to a drillbit..can cut fairly large (inches) circles on metal plates with a electric drill

QUOTE(jazzy939 @ Jan 16 2009, 10:55 PM) Steel is a little bit harder though... easier on aluminium.. As per LG's process but I'd drill a series of small holes.. about 1/8" max., very close together. Once completed, 'punch' out the inner metal and use 1/2 round or rat tail file to smoothen the hole and adjust dimensions to suit the object going through the aperture  wei then it'll look very kraftangan effect..

QUOTE(MadCow @ Jan 17 2009, 12:00 AM) That's what I've been doing but the hole aint always beautiful. Since the 2 holes for SOHA II is not hidden, i want it to be as smooth as possible. Any companies in Msia that does this sort of cutting? =) plenty..but need to pay or maybe they won't want to do one off basic jobs..

QUOTE(jazzy939 @ Jan 20 2009, 05:59 AM) Probably it is because no one is interested in it? or no one knew about it?  (no advert/publicity) No fans here lah ar188 except you know who.....  stk sounds good but is this better than CG or T-amp?

QUOTE(jazzy939 @ Jan 20 2009, 06:35 PM) 'better' is subjective. It is all a matter of preferences, one man's meat is another man's poison.  Between STKs, GCs and T-Amps each have their own strentghs and weaknesses and NOT really the same platform to be compared with.. just a different means of amplification. At the end of the day, let your ears decide!  what does your ears say?
