Pictorial guide on modifying your PC's front panel with a stylish MeshX front air intake - Page 3
By Greig Mackenzie

Now now, after some sanding with 240-400grit sandpaper the holes are starting to look professional.

Unfortunately I got a chip--bottom left. Bummer. A little filler and paint down the track should fix that. Apart from this, the edges are looking quite nice.

Protective plastic coating on the MeshX pieces removed and another dry fit. Schweeeeet.

Check it out on the flipside with a little finger tip balancing act. Nice.
