Default Custom case

hey all.....ok so im a wicked mountain dew drinker. i think it runs thru my veins at this point. so anyways, im thinking of making a custom aluminum pipe, in the shape of a giant soda can, cutting up some slots for optical drives. fabbing some kinda of mobo slide out tray, a nice see though window....

basically a big mtn dew can, lots of green LED, tons of space, gonna have a screen printing shop print up a sticky vinyl of an actual mtn dew can wrap it around, BAM...the mtn dew case....and it shall read....THIS PC IS LIQUID COOLED BY MOUNTAIN DEW!......any thoughts

I love the green idea - my system is all green including my green UV reactive fans and the front fan which I swapped the LEDs out of.

Build idea for you...

Top of the case where the can opening is for drinking. Put the reservoir right under that with a clear lid and use green UV coolant. That way when you look down, it looks like the can has been opened and you can see your "Mountain Dew" swirling around inside (lit up of course). Might need a custom container for that and of course it would be sealed to keep stuff out. Hide the actual fill port underneath the pull tab, just turn it to one side to fill it up.

Other option, put the real system reservoir somewhere else hiding in the case. In the top opening, put a different custom container there with green liquid and a bubble generator from say a fish tank to make it "fizz" up top (you don't want air in your actual water loop so this would be a totally separate component). Lit up with bubbles coming up - that would be wild.
