ghost the object, check the commands in the help file, you can set objects to look transparent with "ghost object on".

Mini ATX cases suck.

Since dark basic classic doesn't have the alpha commands, to vary transparency you could modify the contrast of the water texture. If you make the water texture brighter (closer to white) it would be more visible when ghosted and if you make it dimmer (closer to black) it would be less visible.

You can experiment by changing the contrast of the water texture then ghosting the cube till you get the effect you want.
