If you are looking specifically for effex try jegs or caswellplating but utilitysafeguard worked out the cheapest for me.

Gracias karma police, glad you like it On a more general note. I have hardly had time to work on this mod. I've been working 5 days a week on an internship and I then work on Friday and Saturday nights  . The dead dremel does not help either.I am still trying to fix my schedule such that it gives me a little more time. Hopefully I will get to post a decent update by the end of next week.

Phew I cant believe that its been a week after I last updated this thread.. I have slowly but steadily made some progress over the past week.
So here we go.. I sanded and polished the front fan panel. I stared with 60Grit sandpaper to get it as straight as i possibly could then sanded it with 240 / 800 / 1500 / 2500 Grit Sandpaper. I finally polished it out with some Noveau 2 polish.   I profiled the edges of the top cover. They all fit together now. This was done with a 45 degree Chamfer bit. for the dremel.  ] I also sleeved the 24 Pin PSU connector.  Finally I sanded down the acrylic steps ... polished them out and then stuck them together. Finally the whole thing was bolted down to the server using some 6-32 threaded rods and nuts. I popped in a CCFL to see how it will look when the LED's go in  There is one slight problem though.. Each of the steps do not exactly fit together. I had to slightly shift one to make it fit. Although that step is at the back of the server the angle is pretty obviously visible..  Measure twice cut once is not good enough for me i guess. "Measure thrice and then measure again to make sure" is something I should follow.. Any ways here are some pics of the server with the steps installed. I still havent taken off the painters tape on the fan panel yet because I am paranoid about scratching it..

looks great! I can't even see where the steps are messed up!
Do you have an easy way to turn off/turn down the light? That could get annoying while watching movies or whatever
