Im half way through my build but i have only just found this thread so i thought id show the world my, i think, very good looking rig :P

Wat ive done:
First I cut a basic window shape in the side pannel, not very original mod i no but it was the first thing i did :P
Second i added a blow hole on the top, again not very original but hey i like it:D the blow hole used to suck air out of my rig and i had one of them cotton fake fire things on top so it looked like fire comeing out the top of my rig, but i realised it would cool my ram down better if the air was sucked in so the fire had to go :D
Third was the paint job, LIME GREEN!!!!!!! of cause (i should have done it last:P)
Forth was ad a window to the front of the case and give it a lime green tint:p (completally my own idea that one)
and the last thing ive done is add 16 green leds around the glass window, finished last night :D

Next to do:
Finish Of the Drive bay controll pannel, willl include toggle switch for lights, usb connector, manual fan speen controll, power and hard drive lights, and maby a little screen for graphics card temp.
Respray and tidy up and dents or damage then give a a coat of varnish to finish off.

Well thats it so far ive spent a good few months on this and tbh i love it :P great hobby.
Let me no what you think or any ideas how to finish of things or make them better :D all comments welcome good or bad :P cheers

something like this unit would make it a lot easier. the sound absorbing foam would also make it quieter, assuming you faced it away from yourself.

that could work but i would have to do allot of shaping to get the well half a cup like shape its a little too square, i could just use a polersyrene up, cut it to the right shape an use the same sealant stuff i used for my windows once is been painted an glued on a gues?
