You seem a bit biased towards Nvidia.
If you dont run crossfire, why would you care. Beside problems with SLI are also there The 7000 series is older that GTX600 series Nvidia drivers for 700 series are bugging out Although old, AMD card are quite powerful too Hope this can clear up some misconceptions (if you could call it that)

So recently I found that my old 8800gt had died. It was probably the coolest gpu on the market at the time and i personally thing that this was the card to change the graphics industry. 
 
I figured that I would create something special for it. My main purpose was mainly influenced by the fact that the gpu cover is really quite beautiful.  
 
I started with an old miniatures collectors box. and proceed to mock up the build. 

 After figuring out what i wanted to do i got out the pliers and started the dismantlement of the shelving
Its important to note that I am on a tight budget. intact i only spent 15$ on this.
 
 I decided that it was going to be necessary to get rid of the old wood finish and spray it black
 
I chose Rustoleum semi-gloss enamel.
Im sure i could have found a better paint but this was in my home already thus making it free.

l got down as close as i could to the back plate for the casing but was unable to remove it completely without the need for a sander
 
now its time to paint. Notice that it is nice and sunny outside.

with the first coat done it started to drizzle. I quickly set in motion applying the second coat to the casing.

Right on time. The rain started to pour 

 It was now time to re- Hot glue the trimmings.

With the glass re-inserted I am finally able to in-vision what it is i am making. 

This part really hurt me. I have always tried to be careful with my hardware. even though this particular card was dead and non functioning It pained me to glop on a chunk of hot glue and some wood which I had recycled from the case.

I don't know about you guys but just seeing that picture makes me want to stop everything and shout, " you are doing it wrong"
 
The card is now in the case. I lined the back of it with black cardstock to give it a nice dark backing. 

Time to start using all that money set aside for this project. Get up and go to Walmart and buy a set of blue car LEDs. Try to find ones that have a nice strong battery unless you want to wire them in with an a/c adapter. 

Mind the dirty fingernails. I was painting earlier.
I removed the red button that originally lets you test the light while in the packaging and wire in a 2-way switch i had in the parts box. 

I know that the wiring is messy but trust me I clean it up a lot. The good news is that we are half way done. LIGHTS ON!

Time for something to put in the top portion of the case. 
I decided on some branding seeing as i am a loyal customer. ( AMD fellows can opt for the Red LEDS).
 find some branding that you like. I highly recommend some good card stock paper and a high quality setting selected when in the print preferences. Get a permanent maker to get rid of the white edges if the cuts aren't perfect. 


COPY / PASTE 
Get some all purpose spray adhesive to make them stick to the backing. Some glue can make the paper warp.
 Finally we are all done here. I know the Nvidia logo is kinda weird but i think it turned out okay considering I don't have a exato knife. 

This thing is awesome when lit up. Now i just have to go back and glue that black card stock back down. hopefully it stays. 
 
 
Tell me what you think and how i could possible wire this to be plugged in?
I plan on making more stuff like this when i come across some cool hardware and potentialy selling it on auction site for charity
