Simple trick but it worked.
For the three fans I recently installed, they were somewhat bland looking.
Today I finally had a chance to look around in the hobby section in a 1€ shop and found some thin blue glitter tape(comes peels off clean and easy, but sticks well enough), and taped the three front showing wells of the fan frames that sit right by the LEDs running along the bottom.
I also got some self sticking, lint free, felt pads to put over the center of all my fans(looks better under the blue LEDs)
One thing that bugs me, and I need to see if I can get some extensions, are those cables sitting on top of the fans.
If the fans were 1 millimeter larger, I would only have been able to install the one on the left,
but I was lucky that all three on the bottom of the motherboard were stripped back with only the wires, about 3/4 of a centimeter, and the connectors were not too large, and could bend them some, but not enough to tuck them in between the fans and back wall.
They are(L>R) for the front audio connector, USB 2.0 connector, and front panel connectors:
Any how before and after pics from my webcam, so sorry for the bad quality:
Nice Cliff........
I just noticed you are in Bamberg......I spent 5 years there while I was in the Army.........
You are the 2nd other person in the forums that has, then
They closed Warner Barracks a few years ago though, and gave it back to the Germans.
I do miss hearing revelry in the morning, the soldiers running PT through the neighborhood, and taps at night.
I only live a few blocks away.
But I was stationed there from 1989 to 1992(in 4/14 FA and 3/1 FA(for the Golf War).
I and the wife and kids loved Germany.......I spent a total of 12 plus years there..........
Suprised to hear they closed Warner, but I know how the US Army has changed since I retired in 1984.........We lived on the economy while we were there about 30 clicks from post......a little place called Pommersfelden.........Our youngest daughter was just saying the other night she wants to go back for a visit but I am concerned with all the immigration problems Germany is having at the present....
If she is accompanied(preferably by a man) or in a group, when in a large city, she'll be alright. But there have been some really bad apples that came with the waves of asylum seekers. I'm sure it was also on CNN in the States. Germany shocked by Cologne New Year gang assaults on women - BBC News
Actually the main stream (lame stream) media here has reported little to none on the problems anywhere in Europe..........The media is so far to the left anymore the only way to get a good idea of what is happening is to search for it on the web......oh well, we had better drop our conversation here since we have already high-jacked the thread and I would hate to get banned for even hinting about political areas......
