When one person last year made theirs they did somethin similar. However, they got the school to also submit them for GCSE elctronics as well as resistant materials and made the case then also an alarm for it and got two GCSES lol :)

Try a few good old light sensitive multicoloured LED circuits on the case...if you're doing electronics as well, how cool's a PC that lights up in the dark...
