Hey bud. Gotta question for ya. Take a look here. What kind of money you think it would take to build this case? Could prolly do without the baybus unless its cheap.
Update: I would rather have the Antec case with the door on the front. Dunno if that would be more expensive. Also would kinda like the LEDs replaced with those high-powered blue/white ones I have seen in a few other mods.

Well that's the SX830, and the one with the door (The One I have) is a SX1030. . . .
The 830 is gonna run you around $85 or so while the 1030 will run around $90+. Did you want to build the case, or buy it? Building a case is pretty hard if you're going in it with little or no knowledge about cases and such... Soon I'll be making a custom Plexi-glass case for my Set-Top DVD/DivX box, but that's another story.
If you want mods done to the case such as more blows holes then you wil have to buy the case fans... You can get them just about everywhere now.. (newegg, mwave, and many online case modding stores).
The leds that I have are BLUE Super Brights that ran me like $7 bucks per LED  but they are SO BRIGHT.... You can get those at any local electronic store such as a radio shack or something like that. However Radio Shack did not carry any of the super brights at the store when I last checked, but you might try the online site. Just make sure you get the right size of LED before you purchase any...
I hope I answered your question. . . Any more let me know!

Hehe, I guess I should be more to the point. If I were to BEG you to build one for me how much would it cost? :)
I am thinking the 1030 case(black) with back and top intakes, front blowhole, window like in the above article, top and bottom cold cathodes, and the super-bright LEDs in the front of the case. I doubt I would even really need a baybus for two fans but... I would really like to try to build it byself, but I would hate to flush a couple hundred bucks down the drain if I screwed up. :)

hehe... 
Well....
I would have to order the case, and all the accessories that you want such as the fans, cold cathodes etc.... So after that is priced out I could tell you . . . I'm not going too charge much, if anything for labor since I’m a nice guy…
Shoot me an email of what mod’s you would like to have and pictures of any window styles that you like etc.
Have you gone thru the VH Cool Case Gallery?? There are a TON of case’s in there of mods people have done, and this would be a great place to check out!
Take Care....
