Update 12/27/12 -
Ok, so I see I have brewed allot of questions. LMAO.. Well I decided that the BitFenix case just wasn't going to work with that I was going for so I decided to scrap that ideal.
Tonight my Buddy picked up the case I will be using for the paint work. As far as case mod goes, we decided not to do allot of cutting, but left it mostly stock with smaller mods here and there.
I decided on using the Cooler Master Stryker Case (this will allow me to use a FULL ATX mobo and also to add more GPU's in the future) and also has the handle for me to be able to carry it around. As of right now she was gutted for paint work. I didn't take pics of the case since we all know how the case looks stock.
When I get it back from my painter I will get updated pics. It's being painted house of colours "Tangerine Orange" on the outside and I left the white inside, There will be black trimming along with a Half Life Logo on the window that I will have custom LEDs installed.
I updated the first post with parts, but I still have not found a mobo I want to use yet. I was trying to decided if I wanted this to be a an Intel or another AMD build..
More updates and pics to come!
Also as I mentioned, this will be a slow project since I am only doing this on my free time when I am not at work, or working on reviews.

Kenny, are you sure about leaving the interior white ? I believe black would look better with the Tangerine color you picked out, or paint the whole case the same color.

I figure the white would give it some contrast to what I am doing, the tubing will be orange, fittings are white, also the white will give the custom LEDs I am putting in the reflection I want. But we are just going to see how it will turn out once I get it back If I don't like it, I can always ask him to paint it black for me..
Yup, Those fans are going to go real nice with the case... I have 16 of them, 10 3pin and 6 PWM.

Ford has a new color for the focus st called tangerine scream. It would look awesome on the striker. If you haven't already bought paint you should check it out.

That looks so sick! I love that color. Nearly identical as the Tangerine Scream Ford uses on the new Focus ST. Looks really great Kenny!
