That looks pretty cool, Fastfly! What are the dials and lights for, though?

LEDs are hard to dull but those Rheopots controll the speed of my fans. The LEDs brighten and dull as I turn them.



Hehe old pics I tell you. I recovered them with black wrapping much better now

I would change the color of the wires from white to something more interesting. I think it would look much better. Just my .02

check this stuff out~ http://www.xoxide.com/elwire.html
pretty expensive, but wayyy coool.
the blue would look real nice outlining your drives or on the front somewhere, or wrapped around your bigger cables on the inside.

i think it works on the same basis of a ccfl, but the power wires run the length of the "el-wire", thus making it cuttable and re-useable. I looked around for a while, but i oculdnt find much about it, except that it was really cool AND, check this, it can be used in place of regular wire, like you could take the wires off of your fans and put this stuff in instead, although i dont know how this would affect your fanspeed.

Nice pics, but it's better to provide links to pics on another site. Inserting pics into your threads is frowned upon by the moderating and admin staff (really slows down browsing for people on dialup).

Great case are the LED's using the same power source as the computer is?

i like the grey motherboard

im thinking about a window more and more, but then i just think it would look stupid, and a bit extravagant for just me to show off to.. myself, no one sees my computer

and then i think it would look crap, and be a waste of time as my computer is under a dark desk, it would look good if i put a blue cathode in there, it would make my desk float on a blue aura.

maybe

Our local paint store sells it. It's with the masking tape.

Case looks really good.
