Default Acrylic Insides

Im thinking an easier, and possibly sweeter way of making the inside of my A900 different is instead of painting the inside black, getting opac acrylic in black or like a smoke color, and cutting it to fit around my mother board. i could also make back plates for the HDD cages with a 120mm hole cut in it. But that way its not the same old black paint, and something unique, and really quite easy to do, double sided tape ftw!

Here is a pic of what im thinking about doing, any suggestions?

Not that above that top HDD tray, a waterfall res is going there, and im thinking maybe a cover for the bottom one too, but i need to do something with my HDD then. I mean especially with the snap method of cutting acrylic, this should be really easy to do with just that tool and 1 holesaw for the 120mm fans, if i do that part that it is. *Forgot about my cable mangment holes, good thing i already have those hole saws, lining up the holes may prove a little tricky, but it shouldnt make it all to hard.

I like this idea better because you cant really screw it up, and you know what its going to look like before you do it, and with doublesided tape if i dont like it i can take it down. And ill probably be able to knowck this all of in a few hours, painitng on the other hand would take much longer.

Im paning on putting everything on the case, as if it where painted, but only everything would esentially be removable, along with a nicer finish, in my opinion, than paint.
