To view this case mod, go here.



Specs:
Sapphire A9RD580 - Opty 165 @ 3ghz cooled by Nautilus 500 - 2 x 512mb Ram - 2 x X1950xt

Mods:
Custom Lumilight Paint job. (offshore standard) This pc Glows a eerie green after all lights are off. painted on the outside and inside. Removed Plastic cover from original case, cut a big opening in the door, and slapped on a custom cut acrylic window with GLOW etched into the bottom left corner, "watercooling" etched right above where the tubes exit the case, and "aircooling" above the fan on the door. 2 x 30cm UV cold kathode

The "Night shots" have horrible cable management
but as you can see in the "Day shots" the cables has been managed as good as i could, since this case doesnt have more than aproc 1.5-2cm gap to "Crunch" the cables into (but you can clearly see the motherboard (just not the 2-3cm at the end :p))
the also does not show how much it actually glows. Real Nightshots coming soon.

if your thinking of the "wire" that comes up from the bottom right and exits together with the tubes (image 4) that's the on-switch for the UV lights. havent found a pipe that fits the size of the switch perfectly (so I can melt through the plastic, instead of cutting/drilling it and risking fractures)

I'm also thinking of adding a hdd activity light inside the acrylic window, since it would make the edges and the name shine.

(what don't you like about the glow thing? the name? the tekst on the window?)
