I won't be building this for a very long time unless either the Lotto or Paddy Power are feeling especially generous in the near future, but thought I'd just share a few ideas that are currently rattling around inside my head and see what you think. Couple of random ones I don't think I've ever seen done before, although there could be a reason for that :D

The build would be called "Window to Wales" for reasons that will soon become very obvious...

Would use a Parvum ATX case, although it would be black / black not black / red. Was toying with the idea of changing the internal floor to a semi transparent green, then adding an EL panel underneath to make it glow evenly. Would then do the same to the roof of the case using clear / semi transparent plastic and an EL panel. Should give a nice soft white to green glow... I think.

Board would be Plastidip'd like shown :)

With the block painted red with bright red LED's, and would use red RAM as well.

Now for one of my more random ideas: Dual loop, the top using white fluid and the bottom using green, but using car window tinting film to make the reservoirs a dark tint with the images shown below cut out of the film to act as windows to see the fluid level.

Finding it hard to fully visualise it in my head, but good ideas or destined for the scrap heap? Any thoughts, criticisms, ideas, abuse etc more than welcome :)
 
The top loop would use white fluid and the bottom one green with clear hard tubing. I reckon with red RAM, a red CPU block and bright red LED's in the block it should balance it out fairly nicely, especially when you consider the GPU's will cover a fair chunk of the bottom of the motherboard :)
 
The bottom will take a pair of 360mm rads, so reckon a pair of 360's for the GPU(s) and then a 360 in the front plus a 360 slim X-flow in the top for CPU would be epic. Complete overkill obviously, but isn't that the point? :D

Will get some meatball vinyl to cover the radiators in, just to add a bit of Italian spice :)
