Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Just got a box of fans from a friend who I'm writing up an article for (on this mod - for his website). This is a reminder that I'm severely limited by shipping times. Looks like the project won't be done for a couple weeks. Going to Disneyland on Monday-Thursday. Filed down my rough edges...
Thanks starhawk!! :) Oh.. On a side note. I got my new Lian Li case today - and got NOTHING done on the case mod. I spent the last couple hours doing a clean install of my machine into the unaltered Lian Li case :) THIS CASE IS SO PRETTY I DON'T WANT TO MOD IT!!! <3 Sorry for the literary...
DeathPrincess - I used standard heavy cutting blades on the dremel. And I used your suggestion about putting it on a low setting and letting the blade do the work - it's looking better. I'm spending today working on that front part more. I'm widening the holes and cheating (kinda) by putting...
Thanks a ton for the encouragement. The disney theme was really just a fun idea I wanted to run with and something I figured I could do easily and cheaply. Like I said, I'm not spending a ton of money on this project - it's really about learning how to mod for me. I appreciate the support so...
Thank you SOOOOO much for the link! You actually came up with something I know how to work with a bit. I did auto body shop in high school so I'm not scared of body filler and all the other bits!!! Ohhh you totally made my morning. I wouldn't have even thought of that!!!
Okay, updates from yesterday:

Dremel+Plastic = SUCKS. Just for the record. Anyone have suggestions? I'm really cranky about how this has turned out. I may just file it down and repaint the...
New goodies:
So after a trip to the auto parts store and a jaunt to the hardware store I came home with a couple of new bits to help along my project. I'm not going to bother posting pictures just yet as these were minor details. I got a new (very nifty) industrial looking cord management...
For those of you who don't wanna jog over to the worklog area... I'm doing a 3 color/panel firework motif that I want to back light with something... I have always really liked the idea behind el wire, it doesn't use much power, it's compact and flexible.... buuuuuut.... I've never worked with...
So as I've said in my worklog for "Magical Mouse" mod... I am putting in a light display on the front (inside a door) and I was wondering if I should go with EL wire, LED... or I don't know!! I know that elwirepros.com offered to do a custom soldering job for me with the molex connectors and...
So my goal is to get this sucker put together and operational before I leave for Disneyland on August 1st. I'm being as restrained as I can time/money wise. I have about a week and a half to finish (hopefully shipping doesn't cause me huge time delays).
Update: I got a bit more done...

Okay guys. This is my first case mod that hasn't been stock parts stuck together. I made a comment to a friend the other day about wanting to have a side business building computers. He asked...
