Project Cortana

Hello everyone. I'm currently finalizing my plans to build my first computer (dubbed "Cortana"), and I plan on putting it inside a thermaltake lanbox case.

I'm thinking of making an outer aluminum frame for the handle to connect to, so that i can remove the top. If anybody has any structural information about this case, any ideas on any other cool looking (yet simple) mods, or any idea critiques, it would be greatly appreciated

Cortana? What's that? A theme?

@ TGS:
Cortana is a character from the halo game series. If it is what I am thinking about.

@ the idea:
I would guess a black and blue paintjob really matrix like. Maybe have her face airbrushed on the top or front. I wouldn't now what to really do to physically mod it, but some crazy paint ideas come to mind.
