well...realised 2 points.

1. No Power, reset buttons, no power HDD leds...
2. No place to put up HDDs :(

so..rolled back to 80%, have a grand plan to integrate them both into a awesome combo :eek:hyeah: expect something great in 3 days....

currently i only have place for 2 HDDs in my cabinets and i need 4. So i used to keep then at the bottom of the case. Now A8N SLI has solved this problem and i can keep my HDDs outside the case,. Plug in the extra HDD when and as i need without opening the case. That is one smart add on card a8n sli has provided.

Great Job, although I must say considering its brushed metal and after sanding there are quite a few scratches on the surface... Take it to a car dealership where there are PTFE applicators. After applying the basic Prep, Macro and Micro Fine Scratch removers and the Final Ultrashine PTFE (Teflon) compund, you will have to strain your eyes to find any scratches and the finish will be unparalleled. Extremely High Mirror Finsh. will definitely be much better than regular laquer and Metal polishes.

While being on the subject of modding, can anybody here help me out with custom fan grills? How much might they cost and will they also do laser cutting for powder coated side panels? I guess this is directed at Sunny.
Cheers... Love what you guys have done with Tech-Arena... 'Tech-Enclave --- Shoot for the stars'... Excellent Job

Hi Satan,

Actually this was sanded (damn thing gets rusted just 30 mins after sanding :cursing: ) and buffed ;) not totally buffed, coz the metal was too thin and if he attempted advanced buff, the flatness of the side panel wud be history :p

got the metal coated with PolyUrethane....Teflon was just tooooo costly....

BTW, u might be interested to see this too..... http://www.techenclave.com/forums/showpost.php?p=12020&postcount=9
