before i start...... think we should have a topic in the forums for case modding...... although it doesn't seem like we get all that many case modding questions around here.
Ok..... since i got my new hardware, and got my Zalman CNPS9500 AM2.... i've been thinking "man does it look odd with a blue LED case fan, and a green LED CPU fan". now, however.... i've been thinking that it might have a possibility of looking pretty freakin sweet (sadly these things aren't easily tested....). Here's my idea. since i got this new case (Ultra Aluminus Mid-tower).... the LED from the CPU fan lights up pretty much whatever starts around the middle of the case where the motherboard sits (middle by judging from rear-end of the fan itself, to the edge of the hard drive cage) with a dim green light, while the case fan semi-brightly lights up the rear half of the case, where the CPU fan light doesn't shine at all.
here's a pic of my case, with 2 blue lines where i'm thinking of putting 4" Blue cold cathode's, and a long green line for a 15" green cold cathode (which will be only slightly hidden by the metal plate with Ultra engraved in the side, and the very bottom edge of the case.... the rest will be out in the open). what i'm HOPING it will do is kind of create a line down the middle, just behind the fan on the CPU cooler, with a transition straight from blue to green. any of you think it will work out how i'm picturing it?
edit: figured i'd add another pic to show the kind of effect it has right now. the light from the blue LED fan is kinda overpowering.... but i'm hoping that if i put a green cold cathode in there... it might even it out a tad.
