try some purple uv leds , ive used them bofore but....
uv purple is good for the effects but does create an eye strain if ur constantly looking
uv purple leds dont have nearly a long life span as most other led

i have quite a few jumbo uv led with resitors attached for 12v and a few 3mm 5mm ones

u can try some clear uv paint and paint the edges of ur boards so they glow on the edges done that before a cool effect

i think you mean sata 3gbs or sata 2 because sata 6gps/sata 3 were the ones that didn't have a problem.

Gutted the fan that is between the case and the fan on the rad . Should work fine.

Its the easiest way to get that "space" that is needed on rads when you place them outside.


Or, inside.. Look at sneeky's case.. shows the loop quite well doing that.

Yeah they look cool. But from the tests, I get the feeling that on lower RPM of the fan they give just a little worse results versus the ones with no nickel/other plating on. With the higher RPM it's the same basically.
