I posted previously about my case but never posted any pics :p I have pics now, but they aren't that great because I used my webcam instead of my digital camera since I'd wake my parents up at this time of night by digging it out of my dad's office. Anyways, this is my server with a nicely modded case:

Custom acryllic side (done by myself) with 7 "port-holes" in a pattern (I think it makes the case look unique)
Custom etching of an ion/atom on one of the port-holes (done with a Dremel tool :p)

Pics (very poor quality) at: http://www1.ionwd.com:8080/pics (will be very slow since I don't get the 150 kbps uploads promised by StarBand)

I'll have better pics up soon but I think you can get an idea of what my case looks like from these crappy ones. Please post feedback/comments.

Took me awhile to load the pics on my lightining fast 56K:disgust:
Very nice case UnhappyCamper...but a little fancy for a server
Couldn't really see the inside of the case...a little blurry
Might I suggest modding the LEDs of the Cd-Rom drives, system LED etc..
Never the less, great job man
