Very nice so far dude. +rep Where did you get the mesh for your computer? I'm looking for something like that but no idea where to get it.

Awesome project, I'm loving it so far. I especially like the paint, it looks great! You did an excellent job on getting your base color and accent colors right. Everything definitely looks like it was meant to be that way.
This is the second time someone has taken a case that I didn't like and made it into something that I liked very much.
Keep up the good work! +rep!
People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.
it might not be the exact same as his but hardware stores should have chicken fence or gutter mesh (for leaves) or something along those lines, might be cheaper there and no shipping.
this project is looking really good man, i really like the black and red, its, its, SEXY! +rep.

Got my power supply in, so thats good. Ended up going with the corsair HX 620.
while waiting on phenom I think I will just move my current motherboard cpu ram and video card over, to enjoy the benifits in the new case.
picture time.
finishing the lighting rails
gluing them down to the res

update time!
first, I'll start you off with a video. here (12.9 MB .AVI) This is just a video I took of the flow rate with everything in the loop installed. That means my Res, Pump, Dtek Fusion Block, Swiftech MCW60 Block and my 360 GTS radiator... I think flow is pretty good
also, I'm almost done, just gotta wire up the fans in the botom, light the logo, and move my old system over for the time being. I'm not going to wait till december january time for the new mobo ram and cpu to use this awesome case. Preliminary test show it to be very quiet compared to my old one, just like I planned. In the video the camera is about 1-2 feet from the case and you can't hear any noise from the pump/water loop. Also with the s-flex fans its not makin much noise. Almost feel bad about putting the raptor in there, but it is a nessisary evil.
now for the pictures:
arranging tubing to get an Idea of routing.
polish on
buffed out
mounting UV cathodes
kinda messy...
