It doesn't have to be really slow to make the fan blades appear to be going slow/backwards/whatever. As long as you get the timing right. Yet another use for that physics class I took

what about the heat? they produce lots of heat.

you could have the light outside your case, that would take care of the heating issue, otherwise Id mod the thing so that it ducts out to the outside world. The mod would definitly work but I think the light would getting annoying too.

yea, you're going to have to weigh your options:
young and blind but with a really cool looking case/setup or old and with site but a case thats not quite as cool....weigh them carefully...
personally, strobes hurt my eyes so I woudnt do it but hey, whatever floats your boat right?

I have a strobe, but is makes a tikking sound. it would burn out though. i think i'm going to test it and see how it looks. my case is underneath my desk, so it wound mess up my eyes.
Thanks for the idea.
