Computer Lighting

Hey guys, my new pc should all be put together by Saturday for sure.

I was just wondering about it today, if at all possible after doing some self modding, that I could have all my lights on my pc, such as fans and things, if I could have them all on a switch that goes on a expansion bay slot.

You only put lights in your computer if it is a top of the line, water cooled, overclocked, noob killing, nails for breakfast, super l33t machine. Unfortunately, no one on this forum has such a rig, so lights would just further point out the fact that your rig lacks said characteristics. I know it's sad, but it's the truth ;)

I've got some 12" blue cold cathodes in my pc, and 4 blue 120mm led fans. It looks fantastic! I still have to work on the cables though :( There's a bunch of stuff you can have: Many colors of cold cathodes (even UV reactive), lasers, led fans, leds on your psu, etc...

You dont have an optical drive? In that case you can use the fan mount that came with the Antec 900 for mounting a 120mm fan on a hdd cage for gpu cooling to the front, so you'll have 3 120 mm blowing air into the case.

Well, I RMA'd a faulty IDE HP dvd burner, and got a Samsung SATA burner, so I now have a optical drive.
