Hi, i need to buy a new case with alot of cooling, but at the same time i want it to look good, i have a Crome and slick black theme going on in my room with everything, and i was wondering if anyone has come across anything like that, which will also deliver good cooling, I was thinking of putting some fans with blue LED's in also.
Well, if anyone has any ideas feel free to link them up,
Thanks :love:
