I have finally decided on a "tribute" case in memory of some family members I have lost. I've always had an obsession with the Compass Rose because of my grandfather, who I never met, yet feel close to. He was a sailor in World War 2 for the US Navy, and had a Compass Rose tattooed on his shoulder blade. It's also significant for my father, who I lost a few weeks ago, because of his incredible drive in always knowing his direction in life. So enough of that, down to the nitty-gritty. The Rose will be made out metal, in full 3d. With it being 3d, it will be hollow, allowing me to put components inside. I have started some pencil-and-paper sketches, and have a feeling this is going to be quite a large "case". Most of the components will be in the center of the Rose, and there will be some strategically placed fans in the "arms" of the Rose. I also have plans to make it rotate about it's axes, however that part will be all-show, because once it's wired to a monitor and wall outlet, I can't spin it. I've yet to decide on hardware, but I have a feeling it will be Intel/ATI. Without further ado, here is the picture I'll be basing the case off of, and a globe, so you get the idea of what I'm saying that it can spin on it's own axes.

Nope. I just wanted 2 for good measure. I think it will probably have a total width of about 4 feet, tip-to-tip after initial calculations.
