The links above are excellent. I think you can save some real dough if you do the heat sinks right...take a look at how I did it for only $115 worth of metal. http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/sho...t=61961&page=9

You made it look so simple. I really really really love the plexi spashguard offset with the nylon spaces and screws. I think it looks great!

Thanks! Modularled is fun to go poke around at. I don't think I've seen green LEDs used before their website, and Grizz's build. LEDs are really coming into their own now it seems.

Would you believe that those spacers are pens chopped to equal lengths...bought a pack for $1 and still have 7 pens left.

Nope, I totally wouldn't. They look just like nylon tubes! Nice find!
