I found Fake fish tank computer case at Thinkgeek...I managed to resist that since I already had a nice Lan Li case and didn't want to spend the money on a new one.

Then they had to go and sell just the side panel itself. Well, several clicks later I had one shipping to my house. I've installed it, and have taken some pictures of it. Here's the link

Am I a total geek or what?

I'm going to say no, but it is borderline.

I kinda like it though...

Yes, but did you also get the duct tape wallet?

They are actually pretty neat...

don't order those from thinkgeek. this guy was one of the first, but definitely not the first, to sell them and he's got way more variety. nice fella too.

Damn paypal shopping carts. Those are great though. I'll definitly be getting one if I can find a way.

Cool! I wish I had known about them first. Still, I like the one I have. Just strange enough to be interesting...

By the way, sorry for hijacking the thread. The fish are very cool. I have a dedicated (small) bowl at the office. Those are driven magnetically. I assume these are driven about the tank by the air bubbles?

Hmm. I don't think my girlfriend would appreciate the duct tape flowers though!
Wonder if you can take the wallet apart in an emergency to get at the duct tape?

Well, you've given me an idea on my next wallet, so I don't mind the threadjack

Yes, the air bubbles is what drives them around., kill the air, and they'll just lie at the bottom.

Oh man, I wish they had them for my model, but the PC75 has a giant window. I wonder if they'll expand to other models... Do you know of any other Lian-Li-specific cool geek things like that?
