After a lot of thought, I've decided to ditch the star wars aspect of my case (http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3570) theme. The wings kind of bothered me and I couldn't make them so that I was happy with them. Anyway, the previous work on this case has led me to something that I think is fairly unique for the overall design, but I'm stuck on what to do with front bezel.
This is what the case looks like with tand without what I've currently got:

ignore the the round thing on the back.

The sides of the case will be acrylic, though I'm not sure how transparent they will be in the end. This case will involve strategic placement of lights, asI'm going for a profesional and sophisticated look, but with a bit of a twist (if that makes any sense to anyone...). I've been thinking of using mesh, like the kind used on the TT Armor's drive covers (the stuff with the tiny round holes in it) for most of the bezel. I tried the design in sketchup and all of it flat looked like crap.
So I changed it so that the octogon covers were isolated and raised, but I'm still not really sure about what to do. I want it to be fairly 3D. The blue thing in the center is a possible placement for a reservoir.
The case colors are going to be primarily black, red, brushed aluminum and possibly some blue or even purple. I may paint the aluminum bars at some point but for now takes the sides more or less as they are. Please help.
