    Mouse looks great!

    About the border...I reckon once it's reassembled it'll all come together. The base and side bits'll give it a border anyway.

    Well done for persevering(sp?), if my paint had of gone mental like that I'd have lost my rag and flung the mouse outta the window in frustration!

    Well done!

    Thanks Drew..

    I took the mouse in to "work" tonight. A few people were moderately impressed by it.

    Moderately impressed is all? They obviously must be happy with their vanilla beige boxes...

    +rep for that mouse!

    Ok.. so I got some paint this weekend. Didn't get a chance to get to my dad's shop to pick up the case though. I'm thinking of adding some White LED's inside the case for accents. Probably on the same side of the case as the window. One in the front, one in the back, and angled so the front one illuminates the drive rack, and the one in the back will light up the mobo. Thoughts on that anyone?

    edit: the mouse will be reassembled tonight. Cross your fingers!

    Good luck with the reassembly!

    White LEDs? I have some white cathodes in my case right now, and I really like them. No color, but makes the paint stand out great. If you want them to be like spot lights, you'll probably want Lazer LEDs (I think that's what they're called). Sounds like a good idea to me! Seems like it will look like a display case inside, showcasing the cool stuff in it. Nice idea, keep it up!

    Finally.. the update I've been waiting to post! The mouse mod is finished (I think). I was just thinking about painting the sides of it black.. just the grey pieces. What do you all think?

    P.S... no laughing at my photography skills (or lack thereof).

    Wait, is it glowing blue!? THAT IS FREAKIN' AWESOME.

    I know you can't get the back LED color to change (the plastic filters out all but red) but I really like the combination of the red mouse and back light with the ominous blue light.

    Ooooo...that came out fantastic! I agree that the sides would look real nice in a flat black.
