Which thing about the drives were u talking about in particular?
removing the stock ones and adding in custom or modded out onesQuote:

Other than that i can see the fronts of your two cases looking the same.
I may be a little slow, but I think, as far as the name goes you should take insipiration from your processor and go for:
Athlon of Destruction
Athlon of Death
failing that the anarchistic angle:
Anarchy or Death
or the completely insane angle:
Associated Order of Dermitologists
Acronym Of Desperation
I may edit more in later. Turns out I'm not feeling as creative as I thought.
writer's block!!
That is what caught my attention since Its possible to remove some of my clutter to cool things better. But instead of stacking the drives I may just set all three of my drives on the ground with brackets.Quote:

I have reached disaster in my project, the lesson taught by the dremel. From the picture you see above you notice something different. So I shall go over what happen step by step.
1. The letters
When going into the dremel use, i thought that the dremel would be kind to those start out and would only go off target a little as to being kind to those who have not used it before. LOL! I was very wrong, as keep triing to correct the letters the dremel made the letter hole bigger and bigger ... so I have stopped dremelling. I loss the heart to keep triing to correct the letters as the whole design has gone to far me to feel like it is worth correcting. Now, I decided to cut the whole letter thing out and put a window in the back. That is where the holes that you see in the picture above come into play.
2. The holes
The holes are for a window to be put in the back, not a design with a window back but a big square window. Now, your first thoughts are "why a window behind the motherboard where there is nothing to see?" and you could be thinking differently than that so if so than post it. With a window in the back I was thinking that I could picture of something there and make it into a picture frame mod, with the picture having the letters of A.O.D. (There were just too many good thing that you ppl came up with using those letters ) . So now that we put the idea that a picture frame mod will be made, we go into why there are blue bloches on the panel.
3. The bloches
The plexi from the original window that was in my case was going to be my back to hold the picture, so me and my friend painted the plexi metallic blue which came with some anti rust stuff in the paint. We let this dry for a bit than decided that it was dry and would put the painted side down against the metal so that we knew were to put the holes. After we clamp the plexi with the painted side down we began drilling, than ,once finished drilling , proceeded to remove the plexi and put the plexi on the outside as to temperarely cover the letters with the plexi for another day ( I use his shop because I do not have one of my own as of yet, and I go to his shop only once a week). When he tried to lift the plexi from the panel, we found the plexi was stuck. We thought that since we had drilled the holes with the plex on there that the plexi was just held on but the metal peices from the wholes. But we found that wasn't it because the when he held the plexi and I held the panel and each of us pulled in the oppisite direction, we found that the paint in some way ate through the plastic and than proceeded to glue it self with the panel.
The lessons in all of this is: don't under estimate a dremel and don't use plexi the same day you paint it.
I don't tend to give up the dremel but instead I will take up more practice with a scrap case I have that I totally not of worthly anything but perfect for dremel practice.
I shall give more updates when I am able to make more progress.
fortunately, plexy should be relatively inexpensive at the hardware store. So you should be able to take another try at the painting (letting it dry for a couple of days or more before you do anything with it.
also, you could use pinstriping tape and tape out the letters so that you can get the whole thing painted EXCEPT the "D.O.A." Kind of like the method people use to paint flames. Use very opaque paint and maybe do several light coats as it dries.
then you can paint over the dried paint with a translucent paint. then if you backlight it, the translucent will light up and the opaque paint won't.
Just some thoughts
