I might just settle for the fully modular and fix my aunties computer as I'm only really going to need 2x PCI-E Cables, 2x Sata Power, 24 Pin and 8 Pin connectors, and them lot always come with loads and people complain about the room in the 650D behind the motherboard and room is something I want for my first lets buy components and stick them all together build.
 
Sidewinder X4 has Red backlighting.

But that will cost me an arm and a leg surely?
