I know glowire isn't a major casemod, but considering my g4 is still under warranty, I don't want to "chop" it up : ) But I did do some glowire mods here:

Before you criticize someone, first walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

I like the pics. That wire has a Tron-like quality to it that's really appealing.

Is there another URL? I can't access @Home pages because I'm on AT&T Bisexual Internet via cable.

It's pretty sweet. I've seen it done on PC rigs at LAN parties.

I have 40 feet of EL wire on my G4, but the driver died right after I finished installing the wire. It worked fine when I was almost done. I have a picture, but my web server isn't working properly right now. It's not too interesting anyway, as it's just a picture of the roll all lit up.

I thought I might as well mention this, very related to glowwire,

A friend of mine and I are working on this new product that will make macs supercool.. a simple device that fits in your zip drive bay and sports some cool little features...

And it could have room for even more little features, like a glowire controller (there's a part that will go in a PCI bay.)

The best little toy, just as a sampling of what it will feature:

Door Ajar light with chime
Alarm features for those who use these as servers.

How about a temperature readout/alert? (at a programmable temperature or higher, it will warn you...)

Sounds very cool
