Im looking for something along the lines of Blue LED lights or tube lights that will light up the inside of my computer. I have the antec 300 case and i was thinking about putting a 12 in tube along the top but it seems the big fan on the top of the case would interfere with the mounting of that light. Any help or ideas of what to do please let me know!
Thanks |

Yea personally I'd just switch out the stock fans for ones with LED's if that's the look your going for. That would be the easiest way, and probably be pretty cheap also. | |

lol karma those are the exact fans i already have for the front two intake fans. Maybe ill just replace the rest with them. Only thing is the top fan is a 140mm fan, i cant seem to find the same type of led fan in that size. Today im going to also add some plexi glass siding and mayb mod the top of the case too. Ill post pics to show how it goes. (If i can find my digital camera ....lol)
Also with the tubing lights i cant really visualize how they are going to fit. 12 inches might be a little hard to fit and that especially depends on the width of the lights too. And for the 4 inch ones will they provide adequate lighting so with the plexi glass on the inside it illuminates everything well ?
Thanks for the options guys keep em coming if you have any better ideas! | |

Thanks for the links of stuff JP. My case looks pretty much like that one right now after i just plexi glassed the side door today. The only thing i dont have is the 12in light but i just ordered two of those today. I was also thinking of maybe painting the inside of the case a reflective mirror paint (think that would be cool?). | |

Also i was wondering if there was an easy way to take the top of the case off i was going to plexi glass a little bit of that too, but it seems to be pretty much tied down and not removable without really getting into it. Once again its an antec 300 case so if anyone has any experience doing that please let me know. | |
