Alright, this didn't go as expected. Flaw in my thinking.. but hey, you learn from your mistakes. Right now it's still got some rough edges, I need to trim a side to have it set in where I want it. Other than that, take a look:

Thats cool now get a cathrod tube and that will look killer.

What would be even cooler is if you engraved something into the plastic then when the light from the tube hits it it will glow.

Nice. Oh yeah, about the IDE cables, don't be afraid to open the other side and conceal your cables behind the hard drive and optical drive racks. It'll make it look cleaner.

Yeah, all my cables are hidden on the other side of the panel just like ALvino said, if i were you i would just open the other panel and pull the wires to the other side and push them behind something thats what i did, but over all that thing look nice. good job man

Yeah, probably will soon. I'm such a neatfreak when it comes to computers. If you look closely I must have used atleast 15 cable ties =x
