I know this has been posted before, but since I am new, can anyone tell me where I can get some sick looking clear cases? I want one that will stand out at a lanparty also maybe how to wire up some lights inside it too. Hit me with some links.
System Specs are below.

here ya go.

one caveat - these do not absorb static electricity at all, so all of that energy will be bouncing around inside your case. i wanted one of these cases so badly until i found this out. it's up to you.

go with the clear man!!! have you seen setups with these cases?! they're soo sweet. i just can't justify the risk for such a purely aesthetic use. those [H]ard guys use them all the time, but a lot of them are idiots. putting a neon light in there might look really cool too, but that's also going to put out a lot of energy to bounce around that pretty clear case.

I've seen most other clear cases, which are nothing more than six pieces of flat, boring, geeky-looking clear plastic panels screwed or glued together. I'm using a ColorCases.com 200 series Millennium case, which is transparent and actually have a very slick and slightly contour design. It is a blue-and-white transparent case with a cool design. The entire case is transparent, very light-weight, and felt very solid (it's made of some high-quality hard plastic.) The case is also very accessible (the entire case is screwless and the motherboard base is removable) and quite spacious. Right now through my computer case I can see the motherboard, drives, wires and cables, power supply, fans and coolers, green lights, and all the cool stuff inside. I am very happy with the case.

Unfortunately, only ColorCases.com has it for $99 (around $120 with S/H.) ColorCases.com has good customer service but the worse and slowest shipping.

Also, the plastic case doesn't have any metal plate to provide shielding from all the radiowave frequencies or whatever. What does that mean for the system and the user? I have no idea.

I am still divided between the clear case and an aluminium...I am first going to have someone cut a design out of the side panel, and put some red smoked plexiglass on the side. I think I might go with a Quake logo, since I am an huge Quake fan.
