And the intake holes in the floor. The case is getting those glowy acrylic feet that directron doesn't sell anymore, but newegg still does, so there's plenty of clearance under the case for the 120's to breath. I lose 1 PCI slot for using these, but I think it looks cool. The mirror panel isn't on the floor around them yet. They are gonna look really sweet then.

I hate my blue CCFL's, but I decided to give UV CCFL's a shot. The lighting is going to be a hella bright hybrid of blue and UV. I'll use what I can fit in there. I have three 5-LED UV's, four 5-LED blues, and a pair of 12" UV CCFL's in the pile plus the 4 blue LED 120's. Remember, the windows are tinted. I want to try to use the leftover mirrored acrylic to bounce the light around. Atm, I'm planning on doing the floor and any other exposed flat surface I haven't cut a massive hole in. in other words, i won't be needing too much mirror.

I can't wait to finish all of the cutting on the chassis. I want to see the interior in blue metallic. I won't be needing a lot of blue paint either. It's only going on the surfaces that I can't put mirror on. I'm hunting junk boxes atm for those old shiny stainless slot covers. The bezel is fully cured, and ready for the flat black accents, but I want to wait until I'm ready to paint everything so I can mask it all at once, cut the seams and take it apart for paint. that way my lines will be perfect. Ypu're gonna like the paint methinks. I've put a lot of thought into it. The window shape gives away a little of it, but not really.
