What lights do you guys usually use? I wanna light the roof of my case with some LEDs, but I can't find anything that will fit.

Yea I kind of think that is what the gallery is for but, nonetheless nice rig.One heck of a heatsink.

Dont really have a window on any of my current rigs anymore. I used to love my old UV case. Kinda grew out of it.

Now, I just run some LEDs the back I/O panel and Expansion area. Each rig gets a different color. It looks like its spilling out the back when the lights are off. Tasteful Tackiness I call it.

outside lookin in

I have posted this one when I initially built it, but quit a bit has changed. I just ordered a Phenom II 955 BE from newegg to replace the KUMA 7750 BE (i was insanely jealous of Super's super_Pi score of 22 sec . so the final specs will be:

DFI DK 790FX M2RS
Phenom II 955 BE @ 4Ghz?
8 Gb OCZ Gold edition DDRII
Triple CrossfireX 3x ATI HD 4830 @ 755/935
Sigma Shark 635W + FSP Group Booster X5 500W
2x Seagate Barracuda 500Gb S.A.T.A II 7000.12 HDD
OCZ Vendetta HS&F
ASUS Lightscribe CD/DVD/DL
Case: SunbeamTech AC-1 with corefan
Windows Vista x64 home premium

The mod I guess is that I routed out the bottom for the heat sink on the 3rd 4830, it draws air from under the case....right there where my daughter slid the poker chips

Damn, way to over kill, I wanted a clear case like that, but they're a big pain to build.

I wanna put this type of LED in my computer:

um no the gtx 260 is far better card your thinking of the 250 man the 260 is in the same league as the 4870 man.
