Exclamation mirrored PCI slots and shiney black mouse

Right I have a few questions. I want to put a mirror panel over my PCI slots. I have a thermaltake Armor case. I was thinking of using metal bending it into shape placing it over the PCI slots and polishing it up. I want to cut out some shapes mainly "X-Fi" into the metal and then put UV grilling over the holes and then put a UV light behind it. Would look sweet but I don't know if it's posible to do this as it might have the ability to mess up my PCI cards via over heating or something else. I have a 7800GT and a X-Fi FPS fatal1ty sound card and thats all in my PCI slots. If I got a PCI blower would that compensate for blocking the rest off.

Also I want to re paint my mouse. I've read about using the 600 and then the 2000 sand paper but I just wanted to know if that will give me the new Ipod shine. I have just bought myself a new monitor and it's shiney in the same way that the new Black Ipods are.

My main computer is out of use at the moment because I was expecting my new power supply yesterday but it didn't come. So come monday I should be up and running and will post some pictures of my computer and mouse just to give you a feel of what I am working with.

well, for that "new Ipod shine" deffinatly the 2000 grit. Also wet sanding is usually perferred when polishing something up. as for the air flow I'm not sure but I don't think a PCI blower would handle it, but I would wait for another opinion.

I thought about the PCI slots thing. I can't use metal can I. If it touched the motherboard it would short out. I thought about making something big enough for the slots out of acrillic and add a 120mm Fan on the end. I'll give it ago and let you know how it goes.
