Thanks for all your comments, guys (and thanks Aedubber). It's a case mod, so you don't have to like it--and honestly I like to hear it when y'all don't. Personally I don't like many things about this mod. I wanted to do something original (pink lighting included, which did not show up well on my droid's camera), not because all those high-class TJ07's are bad (they are amazing, and I am particularly in love with Polarity at the moment) but because I didn't want to get stuck in a groove of just doing stuff like that.

Some highlights for me about this project was fitting a decent-performing cooling solution into the size of my first blue-ray player, and working with different layers of aluminum and acrylic with hand tools. I do like how the cords are not exposed, and the layout of the components. Overall in monochrome I like the design.

Some of the things I don't like (besides my terrible pictures) was the lack of synergy between the colors. I think the materials worked well together, but the polished aluminum, purple screws, and pink lighting approach more into the circus realm than aesthetic art. I also don't like how I rushed at the end and left some edges and wiring pretty rough. It could be much much better, but I learned quite a bit from this project, and the goal of it was an exercise for me I feel like it was a success.
