Just started a new build PC project and am interested in getting a windowed case with a UV black-light inside for it (god knows why ).

Does anybody have any experience of decent suppliers of these things? I really know f all about it but thought it might be a bit of a giggle. I'm not looking to overclock at the moment but I'd like a case that had the facility for extra fans if required in the future.

How about something like this one?







"The tach is a 10,000 RPM Autometer. I had a custom interface built to drive the tach. It is currently on it's 3rd firmware revision and probably it's last as I am pretty happy with it now. It will represent the CPU load from 0 to 100 percent with each percent coresponding to 100 RPM on the tach. It works very slick, and the latest firmware revision makes the tach do a small slow bounce at idle."

Cool

Not quite the same as ChrisB's case, but this is something I put together recently.

Try http://www.kustompcs.co.uk

They can do pretty much anything you want in the bespoke case department.

I've dealt with them, and they are a pleasure to do business with.

If you're looking at cases that can take extra fans, then go for the large thermaltake or antec cases (the top antec cases come with a truepower PSU thrown in)

How do you find the ThermalTake drive swappers? Good for cooling also?
