    Well i've spent a lot of spare time on this (not that i have much) a 7 month old son sees to that.

    Most of the stuff i've done is pretty standard but i think it looks ok.

    Apologies for the pics but the camera just does'nt seem to show it off properly. (But they do show off the bad curtains, just moved into a new house and not had chance to change them yet :) )
    I'll get the pictures taken with a better camera next week.

    So far i've put 4 Rheostats in, a MO LCD Display, 2 x Antec bloo fans at the front and 2 at the rear (I cut an extra hole underneath the 1 that Lian li put, should be standard), 1 Antec red fan on a Swiftech MCX462, A fan in the window (this is waiting for another red Led Fan to replace it), Stealth CD & CDRW both Modded with Bloo Led's as is the FDD .
    and loads of other minor things

    Things still to do
    The HDD leads look a bit messy (there are 6 of em) so they need to be tidied.
    I'm not happy with the Switches for the CC's at the front i think they should be Smaller.
    I have Bloo led's to add to my Rheostats

    Anything else you can think would be good ?

    Cheers

    Dean

    Thanks the pictures don't do it justice so i'll put some new ones up when i borrow the camera from work.

    Yes they are from Maplins i tried the smaller ones first but these are the biggest they do and i think they look better.

    The film is called Window Stickers & it's from Staples
    A Pack of 5 sheets for 4.99 so it's not that bad.

    nice, but why all that effort with CCs and LED fans, to put a plain black fan in the window???

    its screaming out for a nice LED fan to ;)

    I like your name in the window, I had plans to do that once

    Thanks

    The LCD was from www.kustom.co.uk i've been very happy with them and they've been very helpful.

    In the 3.5" bay are 2 Switches for my CC's and LED's which light when i switch them on Although i have to change the 1 Blue to a red one (for the red CC)

    In the Middle is a Blue LED showing The Highpoint Raid card Access.

    I'm not too happy with the Layout as i think it's too ugly so i'm looking around to see what else i can find, Smaller switches i think and i don't really need the Led's as obviuosly you can see when the CC's are on but they still look cool so i'll probably keep them.

    Does anyone have any ideas on smaller switches ?

    Thanks all (Again)

    Someone has borrowed the works camera and they are off so i can't get any better pics until next week, still it will give me a chance to get some more stuff done.

    The fans are on the Swiftech rheostats (from www.theoverclockingstore.co.uk) , they work fine.

    The fans only spin about 2900RPM anyway and the rheostats are for larger fans but they do slow down slightly and the LED's are not dimmed at all so i'm happy with them
