Actually, I had pretty much scrapped the idea due to the cost of building it all but today the idea has just come to life again thanks to you! The basic look of the case is very similar to what this guy had done here with this panel. http://www.instructables.com/id/Awes...-Computer-Mod/
He has 3 different coloured leds on each side of a panel which he switches between them via a switch. I was going to do the same except using RGB LED's and controlling them all via a custom written program.
The case was called Fire and Ice. In fire mode each LED would slowly fade between hot colours such as red-orange-yellow creating a lava effect on the case. In Ice mode it would do the same thing except with "cool" colours.
Not sure how many leds I'd need with 8,000 MCD LED's ... Just need to find some translucent acrylic now and do some tests to see how much they light up the panel.
Very cool!! if you do use the LEDWIZ and need some help programming it with VB6 and the OCX control let me know I would be glad to pass on what I have learned :)

Sweet mill dude. Looks awesome.
nice mill bro
Well this weekend at DamnLAN, we got to do a bit of work on the Mod. Before I say anything else I must say all of us had a great time!! Huge thanks to Bug and Fossil for putting this one on. It was great to hang out with some friends and game on a small scale :)
With the panel finished and the PCB's ready to go we had a chance to put both together as a "dry fit" test
G33K B33R FTW!!!!!
Must be a good mod D4rkn1nj4 is smiling like he has a girlfriend...LOLZ
