A couple pictures that everyone has seen 


 
But I couldn't hesitate to open it up and see what made this puppy glow. Well it was pretty obvious what was going to be inside but anyways here it is. 3 SMD LED either 0603 or 0805. Screws are torx t6

Of course I hate these white leds so after I get a GPU to test it on I will be replacing them with red leds to match the rest of my rig. I obviously wouldn't recommend doing this if you have no experience soldering as they are quite small. Anyways ill post more pictures once I get my LEDs. Should be here Friday or Saturday 
 
So I got a first run of the lens:  






  
Sending it to another member to get some better pictures since I no longer have my DSLR. I'm also working on a better way to cut them and if anyone is interested let me know.  

Indeed, I thought it was going to be metal also but I had some EVGA Bucks I put toward it so it wasn't that bad. Part of it is aluminum but not much. 

Looks nice, i'll get myself one at some point.

Cool, good luck changing out the white leds for red ones... I'd be too chicken to do that.

I use to own a xbox mod shop and did a lot of work with these leds so it should be easy. Wish they would have shipped today so I could of have had them by Saturday for sure. 

CAxVIPER,looking at the pics you posted could you not just take some clear red cellophane and put it over the top of the white leds?

Keep us updated.  I might want to change to green.

You could, you could probably also just take a red sharpie and color over them. If you really wanted to you could just go to tap plastic or some place that cuts plastics and get them to make a small piece that will fit under the clear acrylic. Actually I'm going to try that before doing the leds just to see how well it would work. Tap offers free 4"x4" samples so I'm going to see how this works. That way you can switch out colors if you want. 

That sounds like a plan.
Also if that works OK you will not void the warranty on the bridge,but i do not see a hard bridge failing.

Those LEDs are surface-mount? That makes them even easier :D

So I got a first run of the lens:

Definitely interested in what you used and thoughts you have.  It would seem as simple as getting some color plastic wrap or something and covering the EVGA logo

Very nice. This will make a nice additional mod to a rig.
 
BR worthy I would say.
AB...where are you :)

Thats a really cool mod CAxViper
 
Like the Blue and Black one, thats my color theme for my system.

Was it clear plexiglass colored w a sharpie or colored plexiglass. Where did our get it from?

Thanks

http://www.mcmaster.com/#acrylic/=o5g26i is a good source.

Putting colored plexi in front of LED's is certainly nothing revolutionary, but it does look cool :)

Definitely not anything special but it was easier than replacing the LEDs

Color plexi from tap plastics. They have free 4x4 samples and I just picked up one of all the colors I wanted. Like $5 shipped for 6 4x4 pieces which will make like 5 lens. Maybe 6 or 7

Width and Length & Height of the lens? Thanks.

Umm well it takes a little work since they aren't just square. But I cut everything 42mmx32mm then took a grinder and ground a slot out for the plastic tabs. 
 

 
I did it the easiest way I could think of.
