Oooo nice, I've always wanted to build a clear case, but never bothered....

Maybe I should build one for my brand-spanking-new dualie system

Good work, very clean!

looks nice, you did a good job, it just needs a few finishing touches, and don't stare at that light for long or you might get blind

Do you have any trouble with heat? On my old aquarium the halides produced enough heat to warp the acrylic on the top of the tank.

Here are the pics of my computer. It's hand built by me it's a P4 2.8gig machine with 1 gig of pc3200 ddr ram. I have 9 fans to cool it down. Have a device to tell me how hot my cpu is my hdd is and my case. I have rounded ide blue cables. The case has a car shine finish. Really cool! and i have a geforce 4 ti 4200 video card. I just added my sound blaster audigy 2 in along with my cd burner. Anyways enough of that here are my pics!

If I were you, I'd go on some aquarium forums and try to sell that acrylic. There are DIY'ers that make their own aquariums and you could make a buck. Just a thought...
