What a cool idea! (Pun not intended  ) With cats around here, though, I would be worried they would swat at something. "Ooh, this cable looks like fun. Let's swat at it." 
One thing I would do different if I got a new case would be to get one without a door on the front. It just gets in the way.01-31-2008 09:22 PM

Yeah. It makes it easy for him to clean too. Just a little vaccume with a vacume hose and he's good. It also makes upgrading cards and such a snap. I wouldn't advise putting the motherboard in an area anyone walks past though or else those graphics and sound cards really COULD go "SNAP!"
This is the same friend who also drilled a hole in the floor of his computer room to run computer cables down through the cieling to his TV where he uses a really long range wireless mouse and keyboard to be able to use his computer right in the living roomWhile sitting on the couch. When he got board with TV, he wouldn't have to walk upstairs. Just hit the TV SOURCE button and bammo.. he's playing Half Life 2 or web surfing.
The mouse and keyboard were cool. It had a gyroscope in it so it was motion sensative so you could move the mouse just by waving the thing in the air. The keyboard and mouse had a range of something like 100 feet or so.
