actually it's just the inner part of the LED snake light, that you will see in the next batch.

yah, my google came up with tons of reference to the ESIII game. I was going for the astronomic phenom, but I considered pulling some game references too.
More pics:
one of the key touches was to customize the tubing unlike anything I had seen before, so I measured, cut, did a dry install for length, and then made a rig to hold it--
Voila! Metallic Red tubing.
I also prepped the rest of the case for a clear red coat by sanding with 2000 and 2500 grit on the anodized black aluminum to give it a nice smooth surface--
and then I could move on to installation--
I also prepped up some replacement labels for all the fans--
and then continued with my installation since getting at those parts again is nigh-impossible without draining the entire system--
more to come, back to uploading stuff.

More:
nice flash view to show the red reaction to off-axis lighting.
installing the Radiator grills, just using little globs of clear silicone.
a low light shot of the front...it really looks dead black until the light hits it strongly.
Rad fans with the lights out...it only glows when you look directly into the radiator fins.
side behind the Globes with the XFi sliding in next to the GX2, hold my Tline in place nicely.
final work on the Switch for the LED snake lights...a little solder, a little black paint, and fini!
final glue in for the EL wire USB cable. I will have to redo this since I stupidly forgot to unplug it from the PC and the metal USB-A end got torqued too hard. Simple to resolder after I take the G15 apart again (only about the 12th time now ).
And now...the assembly shots themselves:
