As you can see by my photo dated the 10/03/2010 is the first photo i took in the dark this was just a test run too make sure it all worked after i put it all together.
Photos dated 01/04/2010 are the latest update and have more to follow once amazon deliver the other graphics card and new power supply XD.
05/04/2010 - Today after adding two IDE DVD rewriter i found acrylics nemesis --->DUST! It sticks everywhere i might rethink this idea and come up with a non stick clear coating. Any ideas would be appreciated.
I think next i am going to incorporate some glowing fluorescent UV paint across some cables and use the clear acrylic to transmit around the case to enable the glow factor.
A 7.6 Windows 7 64Bit Ultimate Intel 775 Socket Rated PC.
Cost so far £2741.

I like it. I think I lot of people forget this is a modification of cases gallery and not a "gee look at the whiz bang I just bought, someone shoo did make it look fancy for me!"

true custom job and not badly done.. damn good for acrylic, I gave you a 9/10

Job well done!! Being someone who has built acrylic cases from scratch, I can say this is some very good laser work. 8/10 for me.
