Good selection.  I'm not sure what I'm getting yet, but I know it will be aluminum with a plexiglass window for decals and case lights.  I'm also going with a Raidmax aluminum supply.

My project for this box is to make a flat, makeshift lava lamp behind the plexiglass.  If I can get it working the way I want, I'll post the directions.  :rtfm:

OWCH! those things are HOT!  What do you plan to do about the heat!


in a word:  convection.  Many of those cases have top vents or ports, so a clear plexiglass guide behind the lava fixture's heat source will direct it up towards the top of the case, then out.  

I'm also going to (try to) engineer a tube system to blow a directed stream of air directly onto the G4 chip so I can keep it pretty and not have to put a heat sink on it.  :-D
