Finished building my front vents

I finished up my vents this weekend!!!

Here are the parts I started with.

A set of David Shaw vent surrounds (I think :)~):



And a set of waterset vent louvers. Waterset.us




I sanded the outside and the front ring of the vent to a nice brushed aluminum look. I like the sand blasted look for the inside of the vent surround.




Starting out with the bottom vent I tacked together the parts with CA glue and finished the job with some JBWeld.




A quick test fit of the bottom vent in the front bezel.




I used the same process for the top vent.






And here are a few beauty shots and then on to soldering my J.E.D.I displays.
