Borat would say it's boring. I had some left-over plexiglass that I wasted on a horrible project and thought I could replace the cover on this. Well I whipped out the dremel and sanded away my mistakes, drilled more than I should have and came up with this:

I didn't do anything for the sides for 2 reasons: I'm probably not good enough to fit pieces together at right angles and still make it look good and for ventilation, the old cover had slits in the top. It kinda opened up my eyes as to how fun plexiglass is and how nice it looks on things

I resign from lowest temp. An upgrade has left me with stuck sensors, always showing 39C, 31C, 40C, 37C for low/idle temp. I've seen like 26C in the bios but that's probably WAY off and after a cold boot.
