Case Mods
Been working on these recently, still work in progress. Current mods:
2 triple LED 80mm fans
1 92mm fan
temprature read out display (for CPU, 3d card, and air temp in case)
Cold Cathode light (blue)
DIY control pannel, with switches for fans and controls for light.
Perspex window, approx 350mm X 300mm

The fan on the 3D card is very temporary, just look at the electrical tape holding it on. Still, it knocks 28 Degrees C off the running temprature. I plan to get a smaller one and mount it horizontally.
Also want to paint it.  Red, probably.

My case mods are heavy layers of dust both outside and inside the case, along with possibly a dead spider or two inside. (there was one last time I cleaned it out :D)

I still don't get it why some people have so many fans. It's a computer, not a helicopter goddamit


Actually, if you have heard the air ventilation system inside a commerical airliner (kind of a continuous mechanical whine), my case sounds exactly like that except a bit louder.

but hey, it allows for good overclocking. ;7
