I Was woundering what you the LN gods reccomend on cutting out a window?

Useing a jigsaw, or getting is cut by a plasma cutter? I can use both just wondering what you guys think and were do you get those LCD displays? the cheap ones with just two displays on were do you get those sensors and whout it be better to get a back lit lcd display. I'm kinda tight on money. Just bought my case and ccfl and want to mod the heck out of my case before i put in the internals.

Heya Spazz, well I'm sure no god but as long as you have a steady hand the plasma cutter would probably do a cleaner job, only drawback is its probably going to wreak havok on the paint. Jigsaw would be a bit more clean up, but done carefully would save your paint.

I guess it would also make a difference on how simple, or intricate your window design is. Most everyone I see going the do-it-yourself route uses a Dremel. My current case I just used a heavy tin snip and cleaned the edge with a file after.

As for digital displays, most any online pc store that caters to the mod/enthusiast scene should have them. Myself I just bought a Compunurse Advanced from HERE (http://www.frozencpu.com/cgi-bin/frozencpu/scan/se=Thermal/se=Temperature%20Monitors/mp=menu_search.html) but any place should have them. Compunurse and most others come with sensors/probes attached. The Software driven Displays are really sweet but a bit pricy, although if you get them direct they aren't all that bad.. Take a look at MATRIX ORBITAL (http://www.matrixorbital.com/products/lcd0821.htm) for some nice ones that run off your on board sensors.
