    Unless they are mixing together in your rear view mirror! :hehe:

    I dont think I understand the multi color. You guys talking about truly mixing all the colors, or making them adjustable to where you can have just blue, or jsut red, or....? I personally dont like the rainbow effect. I like just one or two colors.

    If you are still messing with lights, may I suggest changing the CD-ROM to match what ever color scheme you choose?

    The motherboard, the powersupply, the HDD and the DVD-ROM are screwed to the plexi. I drilled the holes in the plexi top too, so why shouldn't I drill holes for the motherboard?
    @Mr. Red
    It will be just blue or just red and the brightness will be adjustable.

    I hope I have enough time at the next weekend to solder the red LEDs in. The powerbutton is from a local electronicshop, the manufactor is Schurter. (Schurter productpage).

    They are slow, but they are fast enough for DVDs, DIVX and recording with my new TV-Card :D.

    I prefer non lighted, or subtle glow.... So my advice is just keep the resistor turned way up so it isn't as bright :p

    I think that white LEDs would go much better with it.

    Exactly what I was just thinking. Worth a try, maybe?

    If anything it's gonna be a $5-15 investment, so why not?
