Saw it in person earlier. Great work. Would liked to have seen it in the light too. That keyboard was bright as heck. Soooo many people had the G15. Makes me want to mod the heck out of more of them. I was also surprised at how many people had 24" screens. Sheesh, my poor 20" is lacking.
You got me tempted to bring the batman case on saturday morning to pdxlan but I feel ashamed because it has no hardware inside
Ah well, maybe next time I'll bring some competition for ya.

saw it at pdxlan today.. great work!!
More pics:
one of the key touches was to customize the tubing unlike anything I had seen before, so I measured, cut, did a dry install for length, and then made a rig to hold it--
Voila! Metallic Red tubing.
I also prepped the rest of the case for a clear red coat by sanding with 2000 and 2500 grit on the anodized black aluminum to give it a nice smooth surface--
and then I could move on to installation--
I also prepped up some replacement labels for all the fans--
and then continued with my installation since getting at those parts again is nigh-impossible without draining the entire system--
more to come, back to uploading stuff.

thanks a lot. Really pleased with the response all around!
More:
nice flash view to show the red reaction to off-axis lighting.
installing the Radiator grills, just using little globs of clear silicone.
a low light shot of the front...it really looks dead black until the light hits it strongly.
Rad fans with the lights out...it only glows when you look directly into the radiator fins.
side behind the Globes with the XFi sliding in next to the GX2, hold my Tline in place nicely.
final work on the Switch for the LED snake lights...a little solder, a little black paint, and fini!
final glue in for the EL wire USB cable. I will have to redo this since I stupidly forgot to unplug it from the PC and the metal USB-A end got torqued too hard. Simple to resolder after I take the G15 apart again (only about the 12th time now ).
And now...the assembly shots themselves:

very nice! Its praticly orgasmic
yah, I didn't go Raptor due to power and noise...I am already pushing a 3.4 to 4.33 and overclocking a 7950GX2.
I can get clear tops for normal harddrives from a sponsor of mine, but not sure if I want to risk total system failure for a clear harddrive.
But...just maybe...before the final shots...I have some other little changes to do when my replacement mobo gets here anyway.
