Update:
Well the 2 week window has passed and it's not done . The top part of the case is done but the bottom is not. The reason for the hold up is the batteries... It's just that I dont have a extra $200 for them right know. So as soon as I get them I will be able to finish the bottom ( that's were the batteries go) and it will be done... Now im thinking another 2 weeks and it will be done. And the green I got for it is a mountain dew green so its going to look real cool .

Dkap01 already posted the top it should be back a few pages.
What kind of batteries are you planning to use, Li-Ploy? Cause I've never come across any other batteries that cost an arm and a leg.

The batteries that Im going to use are Li-poly and the ones Im looking at are about $200. The reason Im going with those are that there light and have a lot more power, The ones Im getting are 14.8v 11ah 163 wh, I think this will be more then enough to power it for a couple of hours.
The color is not the same color that the mountain dew xbox is, its a lot darker, think more like halo green. With that color and the black fan grills and the colored buttons, it will look great.
And for pictures of the top, I wont post any untill I paint it.... So I guess youll have to wait and see .

I've got a 12V 7Ah that I think is just the right specs to not blow anything up. Of corse I got it for free and its a Lead battery so I'm going to case it with the power supply and give it an arm strap to cary the SOAB. Although those batterys you would use will be perfect for the job.
