It's neat and clean, I might have liked it if you'd have used that teal color on more of your components, instead of just the rounded IDE cables and fans. You have a transparent case but you show off grey drives/PSU and ugly yellow & black labels...Maybe take a plunge and paint the housings of these units next time.

Yeah, I'm thinking about pulling them out and painting them. It wouldn't be too hard to do.

Looks great man (painting the PSU/drive would make it look even better)

A handle would be the death of this case. A totally acrylic case like this with no cross bracing and only one of the big panels glued in place would break apart if you tried to lift it only by one of the side panels. Besides, a handle would destroy the look of the case.

yeah I really like the sleek, clean look of that setup I like how small it is...you could get some of that carbon fiber look alike sticky paper and put that over your drives that would complement the lights and the other stuff in the case instead of just one solid color

I don't think that would look very good while it was powered up. Everything glows a much darker blue.

Well, Im assuming those are UV Fans right? You could just paint your PSU and Drives with Blue UV and it'll come out close to that tealish blue color when they power up.

I don't know if that would look good or not. I'm thinking of white though. That will glow a blue tint under UV.
