Materials
Paint: regular old Hobby Paint from walmart, probably shoulda got something a lil more durable but hey I can always scrape it of and paint it again, but for now it works.
MESH: I took the mesh for the side and the mouse from and old set of speakers that was a part of my sister's stereo system that took a dump a few years back.
ACRYLIC: I bought the acrylic window and rod from US Plastic Corp for a grand total of like $15.
UV light/UV reactive fans: I bought this package on ebay for like $10.
GloPaint: I got some kids glow-in-the-dark paint and put it on the cpu fan and other various places to add some more glow from the UV light.
Tools: I used a craftsman rotary tool(Dremel) to cut the egg-shape in the side and in the mouse, an old jigsaw I had sitting around to cut the acrylic and rectangular hole in the side for the mesh, and hot glue to secure the led's, black light, rods, and caps(not very reliable, people like to wiggle the rods until they come off...).
