Hey, did you put in some switches to turn off the cooling system and or any fans that might be in there? What about a power outlet coming out from the front? C'mon let's cook breakfast with that thing... please?

In case you don't know the background of what I'm talking about, here's some quick revision... (this still haunts me)

AVcon thread wrote:The exact cause of the system failure is uncertain. So here are the two most talked about causes.
-1 Punistation's LAINstation video was posessed and did the impossible. MPEG1 and it refused to cooperate, killing the system...
-2 During the reboot either to get BSplayer working or before the AMV comp the fans were turned off and the computer cooked itself.

no the eight fans do the job and the computer really is my brothers but I use because there's too more in this tiny room for him to use. He actually bought it for his friends and him to play games on but they're not here so it's mine now muhahahahaha, it is incredibly loud though.

yeah, something came loose in the main chamber of my main fan. It was SOOOO load as the blade rocked back and forth as it spun, so I took it out.... Bad idea yes, but silence is golden. I just removed the computer from my desk, and took off the shell, it's doing ok. It's got a fan on the processor, one on my video card, and one on my mother board, so I'm doing alright.

But on the modding issue, yeah I did mine too. I think we may have the same alluminum tower (sp?). But you bought your lights at a car place? I got mine at comp usa, they're already made for the computer, it was much simpler, and they're pretty cheap. I've got blue in the back, red on the floor, and my mother board has a green light that's right in the middle, so it looks cool. But I only cut out a rectangle and ut a window in mine, none of that fancy cutting and stuff.....

oh well, still looks cool.

Why not?? i found it cheaper than buying them from a computer place... plus my brother ran a computer modding business for a while, so conveting them to work in the computer was a 5 minute job....

BTW.. my case is a Cooler Master case.. there is a picture of the front on my website on the pictures page.....
