| Final
Thoughts...
This has been a fun first project, and while the
technical aspects of this are not challenging
as some of the other projects I am working on
right now it still has been rewarding. One thing
I learned is that this is not a every day project,
in the end I think I spent about 800.00 or so...
so my first final thought is to watch the bank
account on this project. From sanding materials,
plexi, lighting, to cutting disks, it all snuck
up on me. Other thoughts I have are more cosmetic,
let's face it, being restricted to a micro ATX
motherboard is about enough to make any |

go crazy. www.sunbeamtech.com has a really neet
product called the Chameleon Lighting Controller,
this uses groups of leds (red, blue, green) to mix
colors real time via a control panel that mounts
into the standard 5" drive bay. Also as the case
is just so heavy i would like to have tried some
of the unique cold cathode tubes that either have
the lightning effect or the water looking effects
as well. Mounted in the edges of the case it would
look real cool. But then you need a bigger power
supply, put out more heat and have another set of
challenges to over come. Heat is still a concern
in and of its self, but I figure in a month I will
just burn this any way... |

If you
get really ambitious air flow can be increased,
and there for cooling to a point. I believe this
case is a very good candidate for water cooling,
the 120mm case fan it already has with a blower
port out the back can help this with out much
modification. After all, the front of the does
have some extra space under the drive bays.
Any who... there are other fish to fry out there,
and other warped ideas to see to some end. And
although I could woulda coulda shoulda to the
end of time, I am really happy with the way this
turned out, and I submit my ideas and thoughts
to you all.
Until next time, remember to see how far you
can push the envelope.
