The wooden carving looks

The wooden carving looks very nice. I’m always amazed with liquid cooling! Is the side window a type of stained glass?

Nouveau Mod is a heavily carved wood shell assembled around an old Foxconn Diabolic case. The wood is Bubinga also known as “african rosewood”, that has been softly finished and sealed, but otherwise untreated. It features two stained glass windows mounted in the side panels, illuminated on the system board side by the internal LED fans and white CCFT tubes. On the opposite side of the case where the panel is backed by sheet metal, the side window is illuminated by three custom made LED color bars. A fourth LED bar is located behind a white glass insert below the drive bays.
A Sunbeam Rheobus fan controller was modified by replacing the dual-color LEDs with a red, green, blue, and white LED, one for each control. The fan controls now adjust the voltage level of that color LED in the bars, allowing you to dial-in any color back light behind the window. A Thermaltake Big Water SE kit was installed to cool the CPU, and creates a pleasant water gurgle effect that fits well with the very organic curves and dogwood blossom theme.
