Watching this, looks very promising, like the security idea, would love to see finger print reader (like notebook ones) controlling a mechanical lock to open the side panel but defo worth keeping an eye on.

Well no fingerprint reader, but I will have an RFID card controlling the side panel lock and opening mechanism The Level 10 GT has a button to press to unlock the side panel, then you can pull it open. I plan on using a servo to control the latch mechanism, and I picked up a small (but effing expensive) Firgelli linear actuator to open and close the door.
Speaking of that, I got the actuator and my performance-pcs order in today, will post pics tonight

lol, my blind mate (was not always blind) just put his up for sale (here in the UK) he is still keeping his yamaha jet ski and planning to replace the boat with a jet boat... yes his blind, but still is a petrol head so you can imagine the fun shouting slow down turn left ect i have... lol..
His buggy is the funny thing sitting there with a megaphone shouting slow down rofl...
ignition key switch from a ATV or snowmobile would be pretty sweet as a power switch.
I like that idea...I may have to find a way to work that in! +rep

Update time!
First some pics of some of the goods:
ATMega8A dev kit from Protostack
96GB SSD from Kingston
6GB DDR3-2000 H2O RAM also from Kingston
Toughpower 1050W PSU from Thermaltake
PWB100 Waterblock also from Thermaltake
Firgelli L12 Linear actuator (50mm stroke, 100:1 gearing) from Trossen Robotics
Koolance 3-way splitters and flow meter
Koolance 3/8" and 1/4" G1/4 fittings
Here you can see a 3/8" fitting and 3 1/4" fittings in each splitter. What this will do is allow me to hook the main 3/8" tubing to the splitter, and have 1/4" lines run to each stick of RAM, then back out into the second splitter, and back into the loop.
Koolance Adapter block with temp sensor
EK waterblock for my XFX 6870
10' Koolance silver 3/8" PVC tubing
U-Channel edge molding
2 black 24-pin connectors and pins
5 3-pin connector sets
Silver Kill Coil
I also got a Black Ice 140mm Radiator, but I need to swap it for a 120mm one as it's too big to fit in the case in the rear 140mm fan spot. I may get creative and try to mount it elsewhere though, we'll see.
I'm still waiting on a 2x120mm radiator and a pump/res combo from Thermaltake as well.
I also got some work done on the case.
I test-fit the motherboard into the case to get an idea of the layout for some of the various components. This is when I found out that the bit 140mm rad I got won't fit.
I also got the lower intake cover, louvers and fan removed. The plan is to put a window in where the fan grill used to be.

Minor update. I got the case pretty much all disassembled. There was a ton of little screws and clips everywhere, and it was neat to see how they held everything together. Next will be finding placement for some of the components.
