Thanks for all the comments. I add a few more pics.

The case was constructed from a couple of hub caps and a pot using for the power supply housing. I wish I could upload an AVI so you can see how it works. When all the LEDs are on, it does look like a UFO. I was initially sent it to compete in the ExtremeTech contest, but my ISP doesn't allows sending big files. But again thanks for all the comments and rating.

The CPU is water cool - no problem there. I had a small fan on the chipset and video, a small fan on the RAM. There are plenty of air flow. It actually run pretty cool. Thanks.

10/10, I love it. I am guessing that is a Buick hubcap. Looks just like the one on my mom's 84 park avenue.

I'll raise it to a 10 if it can leave a crop circle in my ex-mother-in-law's flower garden.
