Finally finished this thing. The green glow underneith was a bit too in your face and took away from the inside glow so i used a stip of frosted tinted perspex to dull it down a bit, it ended up looking quite good. The whole case is lit with about 15 - 20 LED's in total
One is lighting up a strip between the ram there is also a led in the middle of the cpu heatsink but you can hardly tell its there, really need a clear 60mm fan on there.

The lcd is a blue and white text model, the original tinted perspex turns it a redish colour, i liked so it stayed.

I setup a matrix orbital LCD in combination with a global hotkey plug-in for lcdsmarite to show screens like Play/pause/next/back etc and then set up total game control to execute two hotkeys at the same time (on a split second delay so they don't overlap).

So what happens is when i press my "next" button the LCD shows a screen saying "Next Track" for 1 second, returns to the main winamp main screen and makes winamp play the next track.

The CD Rom was scrapped because the father in said he would never use it. So its saved to be used for my own MP3 Player later on.
