Glad you guys appreciate my workmanship. I will be entering this computer into a case mod competition in July. I know the owner on an outside-of-work basis, so I don't think he'll mind letting me borrow it for a day. :)

Last year I saw much lamer cases win huge prizes... So I'll keep you up to day as the contest draws nearer.
