Do you have an easy way to turn off/turn down the light? That could get annoying while watching movies or whatever

Thanks Nate,
The messed up portion is on steps towards the back of the case. I will post some pictures that shows it.

I havent really thought about switching off the lights

. I guess I will use one of the switches that came with the CCFL's

Thats why I put it at the back

[SIZE="3"]Thanks karma police.

Update :

I have decided to make the acrylic steps again. OCD anyone ?

There are 2 reasons behind it one being that the step at the back was messed up and the second being that a couple of edges do not match up properly.

This time over the steps are going to be made up of 3/8" clear acrylic.

I just realized that I do not have a DVD Drive for the server .

Solution : Fabricate a hold for the DVD Drive using acrylic

Now the DVD ROM and the PSU are going to be housed in a separate custom fabricated acrylic box.

I reused the acrylic from the old steps to fabricate the steps for the power supply and CD ROM hold.

The whole thing will be fabricated using 1/4" Solar Gray acrylic.

I have tried to design the whole thing such that I can remove the PSU or the DVD Drive easily just in case I want to replace them.

So here are the plans for the PSU and DVD ROM hold. I am sorry I had to do all this in paint. My sketchup skills are mediocre at best

The lower chamber will hold the DVD Drive and the upper will hold the PSU. I havent mocked up the front and back panels yet.

I realized that the PSU has an intake fan and has grills for the exhaust.
because I am going to be covering it up. It made sense to have 2 small 25mm fans for the exhaust. I got these from the broken PSU of the server.

I am planning on using the display from the server. It is a small screen that shows the server status etc.

The side view. More or less self explanatory

The back view
