    Yeah, it really is that color. It took me a while to get the brushstroke effect down. It adds a really nice touch. Here's the secret:

    You need-
    Glass Stain Paint - Clear
    Dark Blue Paint
    rag
    wide Paintbrush

    1-Paint it the blue color, and make sure its completely dry.
    2-Pour on some Glass Stain, and brush it on with the wide paintbrush (doesn't matter if its straight or not, just slap it on)
    3- take the rag, make it slightly damp, and wipe the rag whichever way you want to (horizontal casts light down and up, Vertical sends it to the sides, curved gives the best finish, but this was just a paint "mockup"; I will make the finish curved to scatter light in all directions until it reaches the logo [as shown in prev. pics]).
    4- Let dry until its slightly sticky, then repeat step 3.

    Still haven't got to the last of the cuts. Having so much going on sucks. Still getting ideas for the case.

    The way the glass is positioned, you should think about covering the top of each piece in order to stop dust from getting in.

    Gonna solve that problem by the fan blowing out hot air from the front. Also, I think I'm gonna have to move to a bigger case. The microATX was kind of a really large challenge, and I might need to move to a full ATX case. I have an ATX case, just need to take all the plasticey crap off and start with the bare bones.

    This looks like an awesome card from this mod. Its large on the side, so I'm going to mod the side of the case to allow the passive heatsink part to stick out a bit.

    Nothing much has happened lately, but I've got the perfect case. Remeber ye olde Micron? I'm gonna use the frame from the Micron (tall and skinny) and create a beast.

    Work is slow (as usual), but I did manage to get some more ideas for the case.

    1. Illuminate the "bullet hole" on the side, and have a vent put in there to draw in fresh air for the CPU.
    2. Create an external HDD housing to boot windows.
    3. Illuminate the speakers with white LEDs.
    4. Create a fan base for the PC w/ filters and 3 UV reactive fans.

    I'm going to be using 2 different sets of cold cathodes (green and UV).

    The mobo is still going to be MicroATX, even though the case is going to be a full tower (speaker space and extra PCI slots for all the CCFL's)

    This case is going to be skinnier than the MicroATX one I had, so I'm going to move the fan from beside the speaker outlets in the front to underneath (with the fan base).
