Looking for...

[Draquiden]

Here's the deal:
I just got a new case, and of course, forgot the case name/model...

Don't mind the mess around it, nor the dirty, ugly fan.

On the case, it has a built in "face plate" for a 3.5" floppy drive, which I don't have installed, nor do I want one...

A few questions, that I would like some opinions or information about:

1. I want to put either a little blue neon tube in the slot for the 3.5 or a lightning tube... I like the whole blue color scheme... Any ideas on where I could pick one up that would fit?

2. What would the best way to be to add extra lights, it's got a 430W power supply, would that be adequate, or should I think of an alternate power supply to run the lights off of?

I have a plan to put a set of dragon head windshield LED nozzles on the top corners (I know, PC Cases don't have windshields)...

Hi Draquiden...or should i say Dad1 lol ;)

I would think a 430W PSU would be more than man enough for the lights, ive got quite a few running on a 400 and had no problems so far.

There are many options open to you for lighting. The easiest being some cold cathode lights you can get on ebay (2 12" rods for around £12). They give out quite a lot of light and are easy to install.

You could go for plain old LED's, with the right setup they can look good,

You could go for LED's shining through frosted sheet acrylic (plexiglass) the best example ive seen of this is Defyants mods on his HP cases, it really gives out a nice amount of soft light and of course you can mix and match colours.

In a word (or 5) "the world is your oyster!"

Good luck!
