aah ok, as i had to dremel it so i could change the led as there is a plastic cap fixed over the circuit board. Used warn down dremel disks so i could make as small as hole as possible lol.

I had to cut holes in to the plastic so i could get to the solder so the leds could be removed

Just searched around for the working pic don't have it any more ..

In the end i'd do it again for some on as long as they payed the shipping and supplied the leds ( not willing to pay RS prices and not to fond of ebay )

Thanks for the picts, looks like the Nirvana fan was a lot easier to do.

Yes you have to have a REALLY steady hand to do any cutting..

One other point thats important is heat, Especially while soldering the SMD Leds you really have to solder them really fast (I try not to touch the soldering iron to the solder points for more than 1 or 2 seconds)

And having a fine point on ur soldering iron helps too.
Doing all the crazy mobo mods really prepared me for the quick soldering. (if the tip is in contact for excess time its gonna overheat the device and anything else close by)

Finally got this thing mounted up and was so happy with how it turned out,just thought i would share. My bad picture taking ability does'nt do it justice at all though.Probably the only red Nirvana in existence and i'm loving it how it looks.
Thanks again MK,you da man!

I once sent AsRock my zalman cnps 9700 blue fan and another fan with red LED and he modded the blue one to become red then sent it back. Wont forget him for that

Anytime . It was fun to do with it's own set of chalanges due to how they sealed the casing and like MK would do it again for some one as i believe i can speak for him to get a buzz of it.
