Chris, you can take the UV thing real far if you want to. You can get a special kind of paint that glows different colors under a UV cathode. I've got a brand called ClearNeon that dries completely clear but glows a bright blue under the cathode light. I've sprayed all sorts of things in my case like a whole RAM stick, parts of the graphics card and the fans that didn't glow originally. It's slightly expensive (about $14US a can) but I think I've only used about half of the can, even after spraying everything with 4+ coats to make them shine bright.

Sure, I'll go grab some pics right now. Beware, though. For some reason the pictures never come out looking quite as cool as the real deal. I dunno, maybe it's the camera.

Well i'll try see if I can find that kind of painting since I have UV neon and coolers at work. But the thing is that only if it's dark in the room you see all the splendor, during the day it's not as nice as usual light.

You should see the inside of mine, on second though maybe not I might get fired!!!!! Course I rarely have my side cover on, so I don't worry about heat inside the case to much.

Naw, I would be fired if people saw the inside of my case and my wires. Oh and that I'm NOT overclocking my CPU.

I think sunday I'll work on the wire management now that I finally got two rounded cables for the HDD. A little bit late but better than never! Then I'll post some pics.
