I cut the Spawn window with my Dremel, and had a auto shop paint the case gloss black. I printed the Spawn image on 5 sheets of overhead projector film and mounted on the inside of plexiglass. I then traced the eyes with glow paint. I cut a hole in the upper back side wall of the case and ran my power cables behind the wall and back out at the edge of the mobo. helps air flow, looks cleaner. I know the spawn figure may look childish, but i couldn't help myself.

the Spawn image is semi-transparent, and you can see the drives/mobo thru it. This case stays cool and is very quiet. You can see my whole setup, with Razer mouse and Saitek keyboard. PC is almost a year old. may me upgrading soon.

I've gotta' say, I applaude your ingenuity. The use of printed transparency in layers is something I hadn't thought of. It creates a professional, yet unique look. Could you post more pictures of it in natural light? I'd love to see what it looks like without being backlit.

As cool as this is, I couldn't help but ding you a couple of points for wire management. Don't get me wrong, your case looks fairly clean, I just think you could have hidden more of the spaghetti...

Um, oops. Forgot to rate it the first time.

It has nothing to do with Spawn at all, except for the action figure. I would have at least used green led lights with a black/white/red paint job. Also, wiring is a bit rough.
