Default New Rig Needs Signature!

So I've ordered all the parts for my new rig - most parts have already come in and I'm slowly assembling this beast.

QX6850 + Giant copper heatpipe
4 x WD 10k RPM Raid 0
External 1TB HD
9800 GX2
8GB G.Skill 1066 Ram
650w Tt PSU
Asus P5N-T Deluxe 780i mobo
2 x Standard DVD Read/Write drives
Fan controller
5.25" toaster drive (this is the piece de resistance)

And finally: Cosmos 1000 case. This thing is HUGE. Very impressed with this case so far.

All of the above for a modest $1900. Not too bad, I had to snoop around on ebay for a couple weeks to grab some deals.

But anyway, here's my question: That case is completely sealed. There are no logos on the side panels, and I'd like to cut out a logo of some sort, and put glass over it or something - just so that I can see inside. This would be done with a plasma cutter to avoid damaging the panel.

I'm not sure what to cut out. The OCN flame logo would be sweet as well. My sister is an amazing artist and could even paint something in. So basically the sky is the limit here. I want to hear your ideas!

I'd do the OCN sig applique with the name of your rig painted on it.

Great ideas.

I was also thinking 3 claw marks going diagonally across the case. Not some flimsy little claw marks, I'm talking 1'6" long and 1" wide type thing. The marks could be cut out (the plasma cutter allows insane precision) with painted tear marks on the edges.

When I get home I'll photoshop something up.

Ok I've drawn up some stuff, let me know what you think! Be critical please. Again, I could paint that on, or cut it out, or both. I'm thinking of cutting out the logo, and outlining the cut with fluorescent paint.

i always wanted to do, was make my case look like a motherboard with small little lines going around but make it in UV paint so you cant see it with the naked eye but once you put a uv cathode in there then it shoots out
