that does look cool. I would make it so the back would be closed and leave the front open so it would have to blow heat out of the case

wouldn't really do that, VRM's might get very hot as they don't even have a heatsink on them :laugh:

actually I did :D and thats because I thought I was going to get one, but you don\t allways get the same thing you see on the picture and that\s why I decided to make the cover myselfe. Second reason why I did it was that I like to make things. I did a turbinefan and a pc case window once. Now I\m rebuilding an old pc case...you remember those where PSU was infront of the CPU. Replaced the PSU and now I have compact ATX case with custom cooling system...:rolleyes:

tha main part is from plexi, but the side is cut out of a thin plastic cover that was in my videocards box.:D

main part (5mm plexiglass) is glued to the aluminium ribs...
