Looking good bro, looking very good. Ain't it a nice challenge resurecting old cases to their former glory (that's if they had any in the first place).

yup

but I also fitted the TFTs circitry so I can adjust the brightness. I used the TFTs power adapter so the light is completely independant from the rest of the machine. Great for working on my rig! If I had a better camera you would be able to see the effect the light has shining through the TFT circitrys heat dispenser, its so cool, and the best thing is that all the wires are competely concealed! It took me about 4 hours to do but well worth the effort
