Looks wicked.  I really like it XP, original to be sure.

With that said, it would probably give me a headache. I like subdued things and dim lights.  But hey, I still think it kicks butt.

What case is that by the way? Seems awfully wide.  Nevermind, after looking at it and re-reading your post, I'm assuming it's a homemade case.  Killer.  Looks big enough to stuff a cadaver in there.

Like the idea, but not exactly how it's implemented. You have a very uniqe case idea there, but I'd be lying if I said I liked it outright. That having been said.... there are two things I'd say I'd make certain to have done.

1.) When and if you decide you want your case pristine again, make dang sure you can remove that stuff.

2.) I would round the corners of each of your pictures, or make them something less common than a simple square, while following a unified design pattern across the board (or in this case... the... um... case :D). I happen to like rounded corners, so if I were you, I'd round them. But I'm not you so, design them to how you see fit.

Other than that, kudos! That's a great looking machine there, a.... BIG... good looking machine. I like the monochrome lighting... I don't know about you, but I really like having one color of fans/lights in a case, though generally I would be a lot more subtle. On occasion, I'll mix two colors, but VERY seldom. A friend of mine installed a red 120mm fan in his dual-Xeon machine to match his green fans for the Christmas season -- that was cool. :D

A bit overkill on the lights, and it looks as if it'd sound like a jet engine :/. Nice mod, but not my taste.

I voted yes, although I would prefer a nice Antec or Cooler Master over a clear, acryllic case like that. Nonetheless, nice job done. :)

did you just take plexi-glass and screw it into metal brackets? Cool idea, but i dont like it, it looks to cluttered. it's ok to have all those pictures but the way you have them makes it look messy, also you need to repaint your drives(maybe with glow in the dark paint) they look ugly in there. kewl case just reorganize it a little :)

I agree with pickle.  It looks like you printed off a bunch of pictures and stuck them inside a really cool case.

The lights and watercooling look nice, however.

Thank You all for your honesty. Those pictures can come off no problem, and they are transparent, so by the pictures I provided you can?t really see there true affect.

But yes, rounding the pic?s would of looked better, but after working on this MOD completely from the ground up, it took long man, and I just wanted to get done.

Once again, that you all for your opinion.
Here is one more taste in what I went though LOL,

It's nice, but way too big for what I'd want.

Wow, very nice... I thought you had bought the case and modded it, but seeing that you built it entirely from scratch... Very nice job.

The fan controllers look cool, but a little odd to me for some reason.  I'd find some way to etch a really cool symbol or something into the side.  Look into getting it lazer etched!

Yeah, that's true.  It's pretty cool since you made it from scratch.  How long did it take to make?

Good god, that thing is a monster.  I knew it looked big, but I didn't think it was _that_ big.

Looks nice anyhow though.  I applaud all the trouble you went through to make it.
