Pimp my case / computer

audiobahn1000 · 08-24-2006, 05:02 AM

I need some ideas to pimp my computer case and computer out. I love lights and I want everything inside the computer case to glow. I need some ideas as what to do though. I am thinking of putting an additional two blue neon’s on the top side of the inside of the case. I am also thinking of painting the inside of the case with blue fluorescent paint. I don’t want to keep the wires inside exposed. That looks gay. So I was thinking of getting some blue wire loom to put all the wires in. But I don’t like the ridges on the loom. Does someone make something that goes over the wire that is flat like Techflex? What else can I do to pimp things out? I am also thinking of mounting a green and a blue neon of the backside of my LCD monitor so the wall glows. But what else? Does anyone know of a web site that carries this type of stuff for computers? That is lights and what ever else.

This is the case I have: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811144133

Get some UV fans and wire looms, then add a UV light onto it. Also, you can get those LED molex connectors, or 4 of those LED case feet. If you really want to do some modding, you can make another side panel on the other side of the case like Jan did

wire looms are ugly, looks good wiring you car but bulky and ugly in computers. spiral wrap looks much nicer, you could also shrink wrap and sleeve your cables uv reflective sleeving. for the ones you can't sleeve use spiral wrap. matching uv reflective sleeved ide cables look nice. definitely a uv cathode or two looks good. regular colored cathodes are usually way too bright. a clean case is the best mod by far.
cut out your fan grills and add new ones and use rubber tubing to line the hole to clean up the raw edges. looks better and performs better.

UV Sleeving and UV lights are very nice, I have some in my rig.

Yep! I'm starting to love UV lighting...

Here's how my setup looks at the moment.

My IDE + Sata UV cables should be arriving tomorrow

Hey ramodkk, your case looks good all lit up!

That was when I had sleeving on my Antec Power supply.

Your case might not be clear, but that is the general effect...

Thats what it looks like in light. Even if you just have a window, it looks crazy cool, specially when you want to see your keyboard at night.
