Replace the window with some two way mirror acrylpanel from AC Ryan, (See some in use here), and add some internal cold cathode/neon type lights.

I'm not sure what else you can really do to a 900, as it already has a window, and lots of the case is already mesh to let air in >_<

Cheers. Checked out the site, a lot of cool stuff on there.
Been thinking about dabling in a bit of the old water cooling but from what i can see is the case is a tad cramped. Any body out there got any neat water cooled rigs in a 900?
Has anyone come across a 200mm x 200mm radiator? As the case has the whopping fan at the top I think it would be idea for a big rad. I know that the Antec 1200 may come with one preinstalled when it gets released, but why wait untill then!
Also whats the best water block for CPU/GPU? I know Danger Den is pretty good for the GTX but regards the CPU i havent a clue.

I'd consider getting a bigger piece of plex and cutting the window slight larger. Maybe give it a shape that corresponds to some custom paint graphics. For graphic ideas, go to custom car/motorcycle/boat/RC car sites for inspiration.

Here's one gallery with some paint designs: http://www.autoaircolors.com/gallery.htm

So the very south of Devon then. Although you are about 5 hours closer to good surf than me you still do have to make an effort to get some :P

could you measure the distance from the back of the top of the case (where the top fan is) to the end of that "top tray" thing for me? im getting a 900 and i was wondering if i could mount a 240x120 rad on top. thanks
