Introduction

Time for another accessory "showcase" article for you guys. I do this from time to time to show you guys the little things on the market that you may be missing out on while you're all caught up in the hype of the newest, fastest, biggest, baddest, and most expensive toy on the market. While those are fun to have , and heck even "must have's" for most of us geeks....Ya need the little stuff too!..LOL! In this article I'm gonna give you a closer look at some of the new accessories from Directron.com for you DIY'ers and some neat little adapters that we've all needed at one point or another and well, had to hack one together ourselves, or find another way....heh.

Directron, for those that do not know, have a very high reseller rating ( 6.1 / 7.0 ) , fully registered with the BBB , and about every other web safety, and reporting agency on the web. They have nothing to hide and they provide excellent service to their customers. You should really take a minute to visit all the sites and organizations they belong to sometime. Pretty impressive. All the links are on their frontpage and link directly to directron specific information. I'm proud to have Vh associated with such a fine organization.

Tons Of Appliques!

Ok, lets get to the goods here folks.....Directron has been gathering all the customer requests they've been getting and have put out a mass of new products for their customers to help "cure the common cold" among their faithful shoppers. Among the new items I'll be showing you today are a bunch of new custom window applique designs that directron is manufacturing themselves. Also, I'll be showing you a big handful of new custom adapters and converters that they've also manufactured based on the need and requests of their customers. That shows me they really take the time to listen to their customers and find a way to get them what they need....and fast! OK, let's start with some new and very cool window appliques. These , as most of you know, are made to go on the plexi windows alot of you have in your pc's to give the window a "etched" look. The color of the window etchs ( appliques ) is a metallic silver vinyl that really gives a nice look when installed on the windows. If you do NOT have a pc window, you could also use these as what some have called a "case tattoo" whereby you simply stick it right to the side of your case!! Right on the paint!....just remember to really clean the paint well!!....hehe

"Free Piece of paper with every order!" :o)

 

All of the window etchs that Directron sent me were of the highest quality I've seen. No cheapies here. Directron's getting into the applique arena in a big way and there far from slowing down. There's a few more designs up there sleeves in case you don't see one above that floats your boat. And If you're a fan of VH and wanna show it off....Stay tuned as there may be a custom surprise in store for you !!! * I CANT SAY NO MORE!!! *

Also keep in mind guys that these window etchs do NOT have to go on your pc window. They also would look very nice on your vehicles windows, or on your sliding glass door at home, or just about anywhere. I'm sure you guys can think of lots of places. One thing to mention, is these appliques are meant to mount / apply to the outside of the window. meaning if you put them on your car, house, pc.....it'll be on the outside of the window. That shouldn't be a problem at all though due to the high quality of the appliques themselves.

Adapters Galore!

Ok, let's get on to the grab bag of nifty little goodies that Directron sent me to show you guys. All these are custom designed and manufactured by directron themselves. They made them because they're customers wanted them. They listen to the customer more than most people/sites out there and, looking at their customer satisfaction record, I'd say there philosophy is working!!

Pre-wired Blue LED

12v to 7v Case Fan Adapter

3-pin to 2-pin Power LED adapter

3-pin Extension Cable

3-pin Gender Changer

3 to 2-1 Cable Splitter

3-pin Y Power Cable

2-way Toggle w/ Connector

There ya have it. A big grab bag full of some of the new and popular accessories and adapters that Directron Is now stocking for you purchasing enjoyment :o) I've hand inspected each and every piece shown above and It's worth noting that they are very nicely made. If they came with your case when you bought it, you'd think they were OEM pieces. Tiny strips of heatshrink on all the soldering connections, the works. Just plain, great quality, and very handy accessories for you guys.

Lian Li Faceplates too!

And Lastly , I've just been informed that Directron is now stocking those spare aluminum Lian Li 5.25" drive bay covers. If you've messed yours up ( trying this ) and are in need of more, you can hop on over to directron and pick some up for a mere $5 each . They look to only have the silver 5.25" ones at the moment, but that should cover most of you out there.

I'd like to thank Directron for allowing VH and I to show all of these fine accessories to you good folk :o) . I'm sure more than a few of you will be very happy to see some of these judging by the email Directron receives. If you need alittle help applying your new applique, you can check out VH's own window applique review we did way back . That should cover most things, but that particular guide is for an appique that goes on the inside of the window.....these appliques go on the outside of the window.....remember that when you do it :o) That's all peeps, .......ON TO THE NEXT PROJECT!!!
