that plasma ball is AWSOME inthere!!!!

note to self - get plasmaball!

Looks amazing.
I wasn't so sure about the plasma ball when you first started because I thought it might make it look a little tacky but I was wrong. The way you did it, it looks great!

That is awesome! Sounds like some experimentation with some foil is your best bet.. I do believe you will need to ground the foil for it to be effective, but i may be mistaken.

Like. Holy crap this thing is amazing. It gives me some very good ideas too. =? Hrm... Plus rep for being a trooper with that plasma ball. Seriously worth the effort!

Thought I might get this thing out of the shop and into my office tonight but as usual there was just not enough time.

I finally got my DVD drives mounted (working wth an ancient Memorex CD-ROM I had laying around until I get this done). Had to add four more vertical rods to make them sturdy, I love the way these rods magnify and bend the light inside the case.

Had a real problem figuring out how to mount the hard drives, finally took the DVD drive apart, drilled four holes in the top of it to match the mounting holes on the bottom of the hard drive, drilled a hole all the way through four pieces of rod and ran four long machine screws up through the inside of the DVD ROM and into the bottom of the hard drive. Used rubber washers from a fan kit between the rod and the DVD ROM. It's very sturdy, we'll just have to see how it performs in real life.

Got some cool interior shots with the lights on and one side in place (reflects the lights). The new rod makes it look very cool inside. I have to say that I love the cables that came with these power supplies.

Back to work tomorrow so no mod work for four days but next weekend should see this thing in use inside!!!

That looks great. Keep it up.

Wow! That Plasma ball definitely rocks! Hopefully you get those interference probs solved. Perhaps you also have to shield the high-voltage generator? Maybe first test that case with an old HDD...

Just my opinion: Those radioacive fan-grills don't match the outstanding design of your case.

Thanks on the plasma ball, I do like it. I wish that I could have found one with a little less red in it, but it comes out easily so I could replace it in the future if I find one I like better. Still experimenting on the EM interference problem, have had limited success, research continues...

Yes, I am going to fire it up with my backup hard drive initially and try installing a few games on it to be sure it's functional.

And on the fan grilles, I agree. They are not exactly what I want but I wanted something on there for the time being just to give it a better appearance than the bare holes and these were dirt cheap. I am still on the lookout for some better ones, any suggestions?
