i like it, looks good for optimum airflow. i think 6 months would be more than enough time.
what are the blue things on the front?

[progbuddy]

Oh, those are the eject/power buttons

[progbuddy]

Hey, do you know where I could get custom parts? Like buttons, decals, and fans?

[ForceFedFlesh]

try these sites
http://www.crazypc.com/
http://www.xoxide.com/
http://newegg.com/
http://www.tigerdirect.com/

im sure theres more sites that i dont know or that i havent thought of

[progbuddy]

Yeah, I found tigerdirect.com. I'm gonna get a case to start out with (Diablo ATX), A few fans (of course, blue LEDs), and some cold cathodes. Then, for a custom water cooling system, I'm gonna get a bottle of coolant, copper/plastic tubing, a radiator, and a pump.

damn, that's going to be huge! Just look at that little guy! He's supposed to be 6 ft tall! Just kidding. But seriously, looks cool. Have fun. I'll be interested in seeing this thing come to life.

Whats up with the huge gap between the mobo and the drive cages?

[progbuddy]

I was gonna save that for 2-3 fans and LEDs.

[Cevinzol]

interesting design. the front look cool.
depending on the PSU and M/B you might have an overlap problem. Especialy if you use something bigger than a stock heatsink (like you have drawn).

[progbuddy]

Yeah, instead I might scoot the mobo over and put the PSU in the normal spot.
