Pretty simply anyone could do it.

Took me like 10mins. All i did was take a LED fan. Blue and then coz there were four LED's i shorted it, but cutting the flexible circuit board down, then some sticker lap, and pasted it inside. then took the cable along the top of the cooler, down between the card, soldiered a fan connector to the end insulated it up and done.

Looks very nice dude :) But I don't think that block will fit, G80 has new mounting holes, and that shim around the core which has an IHS aswell now. So sorry man, but the LED's are so simple but yet so nice :)

I think it was. you know on these 8800GTS, you have the vents on the front of the card, and also at the back of the PCI, i wasnt feeling any air coming out there, but now i realised that the air is coming out those vents. loL, but i wanna get rob to make me one up with the smaller 3mm LEDS then i can have like 5 LEDs in my card maybe six even.

Well i was hired on a 3 month Contract, from there the Lady, (Creative Director) Left due to personal reason (Divorce i think) and i think that was clouding her judgement, And the new guy who became Creative Director he was telling me that she wasnt the same as she use to be.

So in actual fact i should never been employed at Online house at all. But i was there for 3months getting a good wack of salary. Got some good hardware. They gave me another month to find other employment, and im still looking,

So now im going to be studying at Damelin next year, 2years of my life i wasted im gonna catch up on next year.
