    I'am planning on adding to it, but at this point my ideas have run a little dry.

    I tried a fan controller but it did not provide me with much functionality.
    I don't need more fans, because my case stays around 33C on idle and 43C running full on.
    LCD interests me, but I need a red one to keep the theme.
    CCFL would likely be my next step, as well as adding a USB, and audio jacks to an empty 3 1/4.
    I am planning on a keyboard and mouse mod to follow the black and mesh theme.

    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Your front air intake has an interessant design, i dont't know how it is done behind but if i was doing the job i would install a CCFL or any light system ! :idea:

    It could be really nice in the dark :naughty:

    Very well done, I love the PSU.

    Is your wire wrap simply thick solid wire?
    If so it is a good idea, and it looks pretty good too.

    Shame on the mobo atx plug, it's in a bit of a sour spot.

    Very nice meshing (that a word??)

    Zap, it would appear as though the sleeving is telephone cord..least thats what it looks like to me...you know the stretchy phone cord on black buisness phones? Very inventive if it is....

    Looking good...plan on doing anything else?

    That is what it is alright. Actually it is and extension cable for stereo headphones. I cut the ends off, zip tied them to the cables and wrapped and wrapped. The headphone cable is actually thicker and then phone cable but it is the same principle. I got the cables at a local dollar store.

    I have two red led fans one in back and one infront behind the mesh. The front one glows really nice but side window is a little dark.

    Lol this is awesome... Did the interior come black? Or did you paint it black, and if so... what kind of paint did you use? I'd enjoy having black innards rather than nasty grey
