I would submerge the entire thing in colored vegetable oil in a fish aquarium.
That's just me though.


For you? I'd say you should paint it. Cut an exhaust fan on the top and one on the side near the cpu. Maybe even cut out a window? Throw some glitter on it as a final touch.

Dremel out the front intake area for a 120mm fan or two.

Dremel out the side for a 120 mm fan or two (or more!) or a larger fan (320mm, 250mm etc..)

Dremel out the back fan for a 120mm or at least a 92mm fan.

Perhaps cut out some of the plastic (hehehe dremel) in the front intake where I suggested the 120mm intake for to go.

See that gap between powersupply and the CD drive? Drip the Cd drive down a slot, and put a 120mm fan blowing up in that area so is is almost flush with the back of the cd drive.
