Heres the front "Sniper" crosshair intake grill.






We've milled a hole on each side of the cross hair intake grill for a 5mm white led

Some more photos of the machined aluminum cross hair "sniper" style intake







Tonight I installed the wiring for the leds in the cross hair intake in the Sniper case, so everything can be masked together for the camo pattern. The frame of the intake will be painted, the center cross hair will be left bare aluminum.

Great machining and lighting on the grill! As an admirer of the MNPCTECH school,I could not expect less from one of the members. Looking forward to updates on the log. Best of Luck!

Sorry for lack of updates, we have had other commitments but we should be back on this project very soon!

And we'll be waiting on it.

And we'll be waiting on it.

Are we not all required to follow the rules? Don't get me wrong your work is great, but I believe, unless I am reading this wrong, that there are not supposed to be links to ecommerce sites for sponsored stuff.

If you plan to use sponsored components for you mod:

* All modding work must be done by you, not the sponsors.
* You cannot do any advertising for the sponsors or any product in your worklog (i.e. posting links to online ecommerce sites for the product).

[PaPang]

Controversial, but the rule is clear, I agree. The project should go on but edit out the ads and direct links. Any reason to not do so?

Yes I agree the mod should go on, just a little edit to the post.

Hi All,

For those who may have missed the clarification on the rules regarding sponsored projects, please refer to the official 09 Modding Contest thread here.

Thank you.

Sorry for the late update, we are very busy with other commitments, including the ION case mod contest for Nvidia

Dismantle before paint

Removing mesh filter screens from 5.25 bay covers, use large flat head screwdriver to push & release the tabs





Black perforated mesh removed from beneath the vented top cover


Bottom vented cover is held on with plastic release tabs, you must remove the front lower bezel faceplate first, before you can remove this.
