I'm making a case for a friend of mine and I can't decide what kind of lighting to use for the side panels.
Here are some pictures of the panels so you can see the designs:
front side
back side
I still have to put the plexiglass in which will most likely be one large piece for each panel. I have never used glowire before so I'm not sure if it will provide enough light to cover the entire cutout. I have a 12" cold cathode in one of my computers and it would probably provide enough light if I could find a good place to mount it, but with the size of the cutouts I'm not sure I could. Do you think that weaving glowire behind the cutout would effectively cover all of it and light it evenly?
Also, does anyone know if a rheobus like this one will fit in an Antec SX1030 and still allow the door on the front to close? I remember reading somewhere that the earlier versions of these would not fit because the knobs were too large, but I think these knobs are smaller.
Finally, could I connect the lights in the case to the rheobus or should I just get a regular baybus for that? I know the rheobus is overkill and costs a lot more, but I think it looks better.
