Continued

my auto teacher suggested that a plasma cutter be used for the cutting, but my new dremel be used to trim and tidy it. I'm gonna put a clear peice of plastic in behind it, to let the light of my 2 blue LED fans shine through. For those who don't know that's a Klingon Empire symbol

Well, if I'd've known you had access to a plasma cutter, of COURSE I'd've suggested it.

Seriously though, nice work. I look forward to seeing the rest of it when you get done.

They seem sorta sort for wires...
I normally shove wires in the extra open drive bay slots and try to keep them away from the processor/ram sticks. Have you tried moving them at all perhaps down to the floor of the case and back up?
