Cost is the only reason why my new rig on the bench in my computer shop isn't water-cooled. But I have one honkin' Cooler Master fan and heat sink on that sucker. When it's done, I gotta post a few pics. The effects pimp job I did on it will make Steven Spielberg green with envy. LOL All black, with blue LED's (right down to the chrome fan grille bolts having blue LED's in the center and all five 90mm fans), LED ground effects, and blue LCD readouts on the front panel hard drive coolers and fan controllers. And a blue-backlit keyboard with heads-up LCD display, and optical mouse with blue LED-lit baffles and cooling fan. Looks like a bloody UFO landed. My wife is already bitching about how much light it'll throw off. I shut her up when I told her that I'll put a porthole on top and strap in a couple of cold cathode tubes if she didn't clamp up her piehole. LMAO

I'm seen pictures of "theme" mods on various web sites, and can't believe some of that stuff. LOL
My esthetic tastes run to classic military electronics style, but have never seen a pc modded like that. Doom theme mods, yes, but no Missile Launch Control Room themes. :^)

But you're not completely cool until you put one of these in your computer:

Yup, that's what it is! A cigarette lighter/ash tray (PC definition is a cup holder) that fits in a standard 5 1/4" drive bay!
I got one of these for a friend's birthday a few years ago... I'm saving up for an oxygen tank cozy for him next year!
