How's this for living on the edge: I installed a DVD-ROM with a white bezel into a black case!

Mine has a solid aluminium door that detaches and doubles as a (theoretically) bulletproof shield.

Maybe you can give us a picture of an existing EXTREME mod as an example.
Many of us have mods but to save you time you might want to set the bar.
Just a thought

Why would I want to do that? People would automatically assume I'm fibbing and my case is really a slightly broken TT Xaser III skull

It is bulletproof! Totally!

Well I am currently working on a custom system,

the name of the build is;

Project: F.E.A.R.

Here is a link to my worklog on my website which is still under construction, but the work log is also posted on many other forums as well.

That is incredibly cool. Although it is very sad that you made the general design in inventor. Nice job. I think thats worth a submission.

My rig isnt too extreme. Mediocre PC in an Antec 900 with 2 monitors.

I just found a mod that will raise the bar. A lot.

My case is made out of acrylic plastic, in other words it's a see-through case, the cables from the PSU react with the UV light making it look wicked

I have modded a Armor case to fit a 3bay rad & 2bay Rad and a single .. My workmanship is of shabby garage home made quality ) .... but the set up looks (through squinted eyes) rather impressive.. mainly its a size thing .. and it has flashing lights and stuff .. so size and flashing lights .. works for me. ... hey if Transformers .. cars that turn into robots was a box office hit.. Computers with flashing lights the size of cars is a sure fire winner.. All the hardware is currently in a mozart case while i mess about with the holes and drilling and then hiding mistakes with putty and paint ..
