    Default New build

    I just found out that the mobo in my emachines is a MicroATX. I really like small cases, and it would help a lot since I don't have too much space on this desk.

    I wanted to find something that looked good, and wouldn't have a problem cooling. I love the looks of the Lanbox Lite.

    The only thing that I really see a problem with is a fan controller and lighting. I wanted to somehow get some UV lights going in there, but I wouldn't know how since it probably wouldn't accept a cold cathode. And as for a fan controller, I have no clue which one to get. I don't think it would fit anyway, since 3DGameman showed the flip-forward things for the 5.25" drive bays in the review.

    And does anybody sell 60mm lighted fans, or am I out of luck?

    You will be able to put a cold cathode in there. They are all about 12" long, and you have plenty of space.

    A fan controller will fit, just find a 5.25" or a 3.5" and it'll work. They aren't any longer than a normal drive. Buy whatever you think looks cool.

    You're probably out of luck with the fans.

    Ok, thanks for the tips. Do you know of any good 3.5" controllers? Most of the ones I see are 5.25"

    EDIT: Nevermind, I found the Nexus Fan controller with some cold cathodes. Perfect!
