Inside is painted!
Here's the fan installed. I cut the insides out of an old cable from a tape recorder, and put it around the edge. I'm thinking I might not do any fan grill.
Unlike most people I really like the color of the Noctua. The go perfectly with the theme of the mod.
I had a lot of free time today, so I did a sketchup model, and played around with some free rendering software. For some reason I could not render the model with the colors though.

Nice work, my first computer (that i owned) was in a dell case similar to that one, it was a P3 866. I like what you have so far and and the sketchups look awesome.
really cool design and colorscheme. :)
I've mounted the fan grill in the front:

I quite like how it turned out. Hopefully tomorrow or Sunday I will have time to finish sanding the wood, and put a clear coat over it.
Nice dude, it turned out well. Definitely a unique look and well done. Do you still have the stock front panel?
Yeah. Actually, the new front panel is screwed over the old one, so it is really easy to replace and remove it. And you never see the old one, so it does not make any difference aesthetically.
Finally I've been able to get some more work done. I redid the hard drive bays, because I was unhappy with them, and clear-coated the front panel.
I made the hard drive cage out of an extra cage from the Power Mac G4 MDD I just got. They fit in just under the optical drive, os now there is plenty of space next to the motherboard for better airflow, or a massive GPU- if I can ever afford one.
This area needs to be repainted:
Now for the front panel:
The polyurethane brought out the color of the darker wood. In the first two pics, I have not coated the CD cover, that's why it is so dull.
I've finally had some time and warm weather to work on this, so I've done a few coats of paint on the outside:
