So I got a window for my case and some 1cm diffused red LEDs and wired them around my side, here is the result:

shit camera quality I know, those lights are very red, not orange at all.

Also, my power supply is smart enough to shut itself down when a 12V rail is shorted without harming any components.

Looks sweet. I want to do the same thing for my case, but I need to buy a window panel for it first.

Is that a silverstone case?

I think its Lian-Li.

Looks pretty decent, you should do some cable management, it will look even better then.

Nice case   Never been a fan of LED lit cases but red one's always seem to look good, specially on black cases.

LL G70 to be exact. FM's case is sexy. Except I never knew your workspace was so cluttered, I don't like that at all

Lian Li G70B case, I bought a side panel, you can buy the case with the side panel as the Lian Li G75B

3 LEDs on top, 3 on bottom, two on each side, total ten. I have fifty, but honestly that's all I think it needed. I can and will take pics of the inside later, but honestly it will make you cry. It's all electrical tape + heatshrink over the connections. It's not neat, but you can't see any of it anyways, so meh.

Cable management was as good as I could get. My PSU came with sleeving but it was bright green UV, doesn't go very well, so there is nada left and that didn't help much. If anyone has tips other than you can see I held some of the bigger bunches together with electrical tape, I would welcome them.

Kyle it's actually neater than it looks, just a lot of stuff there. Joystick, game controller, wallet, cell phone charger, knife, keys, DS, gaming CD case, water glass, water bottle I use for powdered drink mix, change bowl, pencil cup. I spend most of my time here so I like having everything at arm's reach, but I've taken a lot of time finding a place for everything.

Hide the cables either behind the PSU, mobo tray or simply put them in a 5.25 cage.

No space in the back, I have less than half an inch. There isn't enough slack to get the big bundle to a drive cage.

The biggest problem with really neat cable management in this case is the size of the case. There is very little slack in the hard drive power cables, in fact they barely reach. Everything is so spaced out so that though it is very easy to work with and get everything hooked up, there isn't a lot of wiggle room when it comes to shifting cables around.

What about other cables. What if you stick them with duct tape on the upper panel if you know what I mean. The Plexiglas doesn't cover the whole side panel so that uncovered area would hide those stickied cables nicely.

It was actually seriously considered and discussed.

Biggest problem was finding an appropriate string and the sizable resistor that would have to go with it. I was lucky enough my dad already had the resistors I needed for these LEDs on hand.

Hey that looks pretty sweet! I'm not a fan of LED case and all the fancy lights, but this, among a few others, actually looks pretty nice. Perhaps for my next computer I'll do something crazy like that. But for now, I like my computer to be silent and invisible

You don't need any other lights then.

I see you got your G15 V1.

Good results. Hiding those cables would really top it off. Modular Power Supplies ftw.
