Looking good thus far.

I'm thinking i should use like a clear film. That was it'll still look very open (Unlike plastic) but will also be protective.

Dont use anything thinner than acetate, otherwise it almost defeats the object of putting something there

I don't want to use anything stiff as the surface isn't level...

It is a bit stiff, but not hard plastic stiff. Its like the thickness and stiffness of card.

Any craft place will sell it, its often called OHT paper as its designed to be printed on and used on over head projectors.

Obviously depends how thick you want it, you can get paper thin stuff or more card like.

If you get the thciker stuff you maybe be able to score and fold it to match the stamped top of the drive.

Their constantly changing. But at the moment, i'm aiming a a folding theme with lots of Copper (as it is sexy):

E2200
Asus P5K Premium Black Pearl
4 x 1GB 800MHz Kingston RAM (With Copper Akasa Sinks)
Sparkle nVidia 9600GT 512MB (With Zalman VF-900 + Copper Ramsinks)
Coolermaster iGreen Power 430w
Western Digital 80GB SATA
DVD-RW SATA

This kit is going to be modded (Cables cut etc.) so it works only with this setup. Then i'm going to use it as a folder and maybe sell it on to a mate later. I mean, it is a very decent build...

I really want to keep the case however, just as a memory. I wouldn't like to give away my first full case mod... would feel odd.

And thanks to some very kind people, i've managed to get most of this kit for extremely cheap. I'd like to personally thank:

Kyle2020 - Case and Motherboard
Tigger - Processor and VF-900
And anyone that's parts fall into the above list. Thanks alot for the great deals

I'll be ringing my local Glass/Aluminum/Plastic workshop within the next two days to get quotes for the windows etc. Lets hope it's cheap. I mean, 3mm clear plastic can't cost alot...

Also, i'm waiting on some Metal cutting blades for my Jigsaw. I used a dremel on the top cut and it just took too long.

Remember, any ideas you have, i'd like to hear them. Either photoshop the idea, describe it well or become a Paint pro!

Well, i'd love to do work on this, but my Room is getting plastered (higher priority) and i have an ear infection. So the loud whine of metal cutting isn't a smart route for me.

It feels like it's clearing up abit though, so ill be working on it again soon.

Stay tuned and keep ideas coming.

MoonPig, great work!

Only complaint is that it needs more CowBell.
