i started a thread about it pre-geek forum...i dunno where it is, and im too fucking tired to look...but right now im making a beastly case, plus im gonna buy a beast computer to go into it, this kindof counts on things not out yet, but yeah, here goes:

pretty stuff:
full tower, ATX, 300W power supply
a second PSU, 300W on swicth
1 black neon light, on switch on PSU #2
1 fragmented sound sensitive red neon light, on switch, on PSU #2
2 80mm exhaust fans, 1 120mm blowhole, on switch to PSU #2
a pretty big window, not on a switch
painted red/orange swirls, hopefully creating a lava-like or onfire-like effect.
a handle on the top.
2 handles for each plate, to make removing/reattaching easier.

working stuff:
if available, 2 1.3Ghz/266 athlon Tbirds w/ chrome/golden(not sure if i want power or looks) orbs.
4x 75GB 7200 rpm ATA/100 RAID 0 array, if possible on switch to PSU #2
1 75GB 7200 rpm ATA/100 bootup disk (dont wanna count on the RAID for important shit)
GeForce 3 -> best i can find
768-1024 MB DDR SDRAM 266
SB Live! Platinum w/ live! drive
10x DVD 40x CD-ROM slot loading player
QPS Que! 12x/10x/32x external firewire cd writer.
maybe 22 inch sony LCD, more likely 21 sony CRT

ok, i think everything is right on there, maybe not...dunno...ill probably post some pictures if i ever finish

one of my friends from highschool did a mod on one of his cases.

Basically stuck two together to have a monster case. He hasn't quite finished it yet though...

Um, I don't think you wanna insulate your comp. If anything, you wanna disperse all that heat, unless you're still pre-Athlon/P-III.

< ThinkGeek.com > has some rather cool ideas.
