Instead of opting for a pre-built, pre-modded computer, I'm going the custom route (again) for my next rig. I'm currently posting a full work-log of the project (titled Blue PC). However, it probably wont be blue by the time I've finished.
Check out the bit-tech log here.
I've also uploaded a mirror of it on the slickhouse forums here.

Lol, that pink drive is a knackered one that I'm just using for size reference - I've ordered a new NEC DVD-RW in black, which should arrive this week.
The fans are super quiet AKASA Amber ones, they cost between £8 and £10 I think for the 80mm - 120mm ones.
The black rubber tubing is known as blowhole trim. You can get it here.
I was going to go UV with some of the lighting, but I seem to remember that staring at UV isn't good for your eyes? I'm not 100% sure, but I don't want to go blind from my own PC...
i stared at my UV alot....im fooked...
erm i not sure but i think the light is designed to be safe, its looks like staring into a black hole. I remember when i bought it i looked up to make sure it was safe....i hope :|

Maybe I'm getting confused with UV rays from the sun, what with all this skin cancer scare n' all on the news...
dont put the sun in your computer! it will ruin your eyes!

It is nice! The 350 would probably be my second choice, after a Skyline. Looking forward to the 3rd film too, as Tokyo has a better car scene than America anyday!
