You guys seem to be pretty hot on the idea. You have made some great suggestions and have fielded some good questions. I'll try to answer them the best that I can.
First, during the research for an appropriate laser machine to use, I solicited prototype cuts from a handful of them. Some turned out, some didn't, and some couldn't. The images were hand drawn, scanned into a computer, retraced with software, vectorized with a Raster to vector program, cleaned up a little bit in AutoCAD. When it was translated to the CNC code necessary to run the lasers it consumed literally hundreds of thousands of lines of code.
The final image as you see it, took nearly an hour to cut. Live and learn. Before offering these particular images to a public, I will need to redraw it by hand in a CAD program. I would need to get those 400,000 plus points down to a few hundred. At that time it could be cut in 3 to 5 minutes. Once that happens, I figure it could be offered in the $50 to $65 range.
One of the main ideas to doing all of this is to try and make it available to the greatest amount of customers possible by keeping it as economical as possible.

[Stryker says] My only suggestion would be to somehow blacken the cut edges of the metal so you don't see the raw metal under the paint. In a couple of the pics, the raw metal reflects too much (I would assume it looks similar in real life) and it takes away from the effect of having the light shine through the shape. I think it would look a lot more professional and clean if it was solid black.

Well, you are corect there. Even though the acrylic windows were supposed to fit flush with the case windows, I solicited their cuttings from manufacturers of lower powered lasers. Since I had little control over the final product at this point, many of the pieces did not fit as precisely as I had hoped. With those parts that did fit precisely, the inside edges could not be seen. In the final products, we will be striving for absolute precision in this respect.

[Apollo observes] I wonder about airflow being restricted with some of those fan openings but that's the customer's choice - not your problem. Maybe have some kind of disclaimer to cover your butt. Get yourself a small paint shop and you're a one-stop custom case shop.

Just out of curiosity, and if you don't mind me asking, where in The Great White North are you?

You are right about some fan designs being restrictive. The price you pay for fancy fan guards, like the yin and yang dragons, is restricted airflow. This is something the consumer may wish to be aware of if super cooling an OC'd PC is an issue. Good point.

The part of the Great White North I am in is Alaska.

[To Designer] I did look into water cutters briefly, and read up on some comparison reports, then decided that lasers would work best for our application. This is not to take anything away from water cutters; they are incredible machines in their own right.

Also etching on metal could be accomplished with the lasers as well as most of their power can be adjusted to 10% with 1% to 2% increments from there. So a 2 kilowatt laser could be stepped down to 200 Watts minimum. Etching on acrylic would be accomplished through the use of lower powered lasers in the 20 to 30 Watt range. The same ones we would use to cut the acrylic pieces with
