Well, I finished this a while back but needed to get a working camera to take some pics. Then I almost lost the case due to the power supply catching fire. So here are some pics of the finished case.

The white butterfly on the front lights up when I have power connected to it. I found it at store for use with a car cigarette lighter and installed one on my wife's computer. I cut the power down to 5v because at 12v it was too bright. I don't have it connected right now to a much smaller power supply because I only had a small one laying around and haven't gotten around to buying a new one.

And believe it or not these pictures came from one of these
