sucks to hear you got sick. and btw, Al doesnt produce toxic fumes( I think) It is the protective coating on some forms of Al. (like soda cans for instance) that smell lie crap when melted.

looks impressive. for the fan, keep in mind they have low pressure; you may need to perforate holes for better airflow.

Yeah, I was thinking about that, but I think the slots will do nicely. If not, I could always add perforations later to a couple of panes of plexi. Thanks for the help .

Okay. So I have most of the sketchup done, and I'll be posting later today al the pics and stuff .

EDIT: Here's the pics . I added a couple of things to the case. I thought it would be cool to have a glowing green "bullet hole" in the side (plexied in of course; dont want dust :p) and a fan hole in the top. Also, I added a few perforations (only 3) to allow for better airflow (there are already slots in the panes of plexi for air flow, but I thought the holes looked cool), and some nice touches.

Just need to get some of the kinks out of the design (rough edges, things of that sort).
Also, I thought adding a gun of some sort to the outside of the pane of glass (i.e. alien sniper rifle or proto plasma gun).

I've just finished making the tube speakers for the project. I just need some LED lights/80 mm glowing fan ring to place around the tubes. These speakers are frickin awesome, hitting a deafening 3/4 inch displacement--from a 3 inch speaker. Also, I will be making custom plastic holders for the speakers to redirect the bass out of the back of the case, hold the speakers in place, and make it look cool :p. I will be using Smooth-On casting foam 3 for the bass "router". Link

WHOO! PICS!

Okay, heres the tubes...

and this is where white LEDs are going to go...

Hopefully I'll get around to buying that foam stuff to make the custom plastic piece so that the speakers will just slide right in . BTW, the foam is going to be covered with Bondo, sanded, and painted gloss black, then hand-glossed.

Oh, the amp is shown to the right of the LED holes.

Haven't had much progress because I've been cleaning the house all day .

New ideas:

-Have the bass "routers" wrap around the case to pump from the sides.
-Create a plexiglass liquid chamber and fill it with UV reactive liquid.
- Create a plastic piece to run from the outside of the case directly to the CPU.
-Find UV reactive crystals to place in strategic places throughout the case to give it a nice glow.
