supply, and

| plexiglass (to protect from anyone touching the thing and giving it a
static

supply run
| neon lights inside the plexiglass case.
|
| Does this seem like it would work?  Other than providing a common
ground and
| keeping static off the computer does the case really do anything?  It
seems
| that cooling slits could be cut into the top of the plexiglass case
and fans
| added to the bottom to pull in cooler air and let the hot air out.
|
| If this idea would work does anyone know where one can get plexiglass for
| this kinda thing?
