but I did not like the apparent screws.... Then..... I manufactured, or rather "moulded", of the parts specifically made for the LIS!!!
I used a second mask-bay, identical to the one used for the LIS...

let's go, time to the pictures!.... for understanding, it is very easierwith pics....

the LIS, with the "parts" home-made with bondo.... and the blue pane which f***ing me largely because it don't remained convex! after a small treatment the thermal decapor, it was shown much more flexible!!!:

the bondo job and sandpapered frontage........ it is better without the holes and the screws!!!

the original PSU became really powerless for the system, I changed it for a thermaltake butterfly 480 watts
so, some modding on it:

normally it looks like that, at the origin without modifications....
