Okay you want to make it out of plexi, but what if you make the top out of aluminum (or copper if you're so inclined). Specifically, what if the entire top of the case was a big thin AL box, which you could make by sandwiching two plates on bar stock I guess. Wouldn't that give you a big passive radiator/reservoir? I don't know if you'd have enough surface area.

You could even mount the hdds directly to the bottom of it to cool them, using it as a big waterblock.
