Yes, Its a Borg Cube.

Would love some ideas on this...

I am thinking of starting from scratch, however i do have an idea for a case to be cut apart.

You are aware that the borg cube idea has been done to death arent you ?

Especially with that case....

Not to put too much of a damper on things, but those cases are a bitch to work on.

Its like 3mm solid steel. (i had one)

Plus the original cooling isnt really adequate for modern PCs.

I did several searches on google and was only able to find one case?

I only suggested that case as an idea,

Damn shame about it being done to death, need to find other inspiration now.

Doesnt mean you cant do a good mod around that idea...

I`ll see if i can find linkage to some of the other people who have done it.

i thought my googling skills hadn't failed me.

However that case was just used as an idea if it could be modded.

However will probably go from the ground up :)

and the sphere had caught my attention, however im not sure how hard it would be to make it round???

Unless i used the large hampster ball running the MPUKFTP :P
