My very first attempt as custom case. (it shows :o)

Still needs a bit of work though, need to get glass to go over and need to close sides and install fans. Also need to figure a better way to attach external drive, currently just fixed with elastic bands.

It looks like 1 massive plank with all of your components on top.
 
I kinda like it. Isn't it a bit loud? And where's the GPU? How does those lizards look like when you put the neon lights behind them?
 
Looks good for your 1st try. Keep at it.

Unfortunately I didn't get the glow I was I hoping for. I want to try a different a type of paint. Maybe a more glossy white than matt white.

It does look very loud in photos, but I think it is because it is zoomed in too much, in reality it looks a bit better.

Thanks! It is amazing how many stuff-ups and things you learn along the way! :)

One issue I had is that the position of the board was for another motherboard, but that board got destroyed by lightning and now the new board is a bit smaller (Could for the life of me not find another board with same dimensions and same requirement). The result is that the cables (especially the hard drives SATA cables) stick out way too much.
 
Why dont you mount your Tv on the front of it?
