I have the lights, I just reserve them for actual lan parties, like neon undercarriage lights at an import meet.

I havent been to a LAN party in a while.. just not enough time with school, work, and friends.. Ive been messing with customization since I was 8 years old and of course my first computer had all the paazaz with lights.. clear case. Its fun for a while till you get bored lol. Maybe one day I will return enjoy your computer

I used regular connectors, once its on it doesnt really matter.


When cleaning I just open up the radiator connection and turn the power on and it dumps all the fluid out of the system. Bleeding SUCKS!

yeah agreed. No lights in my box and no window. I put sound deadening foam on the inside. I went less pretty and more function

I only put a window for allowing me to see if everything functions as needed... This is a build that has been going on for almost 8 months. Pictures to follow when I'm back from work. :S no school today woo!


Edit: also does that foam effect heat release? I try and keep things as low as possible.
