theres alot of people who don't like plugging fans into the fan headers on there
motherboard or they have fan controllers.
So what to do with those unsed headers on the motherboard?
Check out noxqzs's mod

whoa... thats nice , too bad there are no radio shacks around here, have to look around thought to be sure.

He should also add like a shield for the eyes, so instead of looking at the really bright light.......

some newer motherboards have this kinda lights built in right? but most lanparty has somany ports wink.gif

The formula at the end of the oc post made my head hurt! I may have to try that sometime. Seems fun!

This seems cool. I need to find a case window or make one though.

Awesome...I've been thinking about doing something with LEDs. I think I might run some wire though and mount them somewhere else so they're shining AT the motherboard and not blinding me.

I found a nice little guide for wiring LEDs...check it out if you're interested.
