Anthony I went with royal blue and cool white I also went with a 1:1 ratio because I have drivers that allow me to dim what ever color I want. Harry and Noel where a great help also on creating a case that I will post pics on very soon.

Javier I am working as fast as I can lol and im glad your lights are coming out nice plz post pics.

Matching the railings for the glass I made the railings with 1/2" x 1/2" wood

Cutting a hole on the top so my fans can breathe I am using a router that's in the man cave.
