  1. No-one's going to see that piece of plexi if you're not planning on a case window.
  2. Dust, dust, dust. 'Nuff said.
Apart from the above two points, I like it. Very well done.

1) If you didnt spend so much time in the spam thread, you would know Im gonna install a plexi window :wink:
2) I need to clean off the fan grille, as well as the metal cover. Other than that, I cant see any other dust :wink:

You such a cake Ron :wink:

um, i think its a bit of a waste to put such a nice looking grille there, even if there is a window but i'll reserve final judgement until i've seen the final product :wink:
