I need some ideas for gloom, bloom and glow affects in your cases. Show us what you got and how you did it if possible.

Looking for funky art design on side panel windows too especially the frost effect ones!

A single Enermax fan does the illumination.
 
Have one of them stulid, it's stupidly bright! I had to turn mine off.
Ummm, I'll see if I have a good pic...

It's the only one I could find ATM, you can see the Enermax in the back, I also have a side 120mm red LED and Ballistix Tracer

Very nice, i'm liking the blue theme you have there. Which enermax fan is that?

This is awesome aswel, just out of curiousity what case is that?
 
Haven't got much going on at the moment. Light comes from the Noctua fan on the heatsink and two front mounted fans.

The Noctua fan has 8 LEDs around the circumference as well as another 8 pointed back towards the heatsink. It didn't work out as well as I'd hoped but anyway there it is.

This then is the front of the case from outside. A lot of the light inside bleeds in from these fans.

I've got LED strips which I was going to put back in when I actually get around to putting all my orange braid extensions in and make the graphics fan cable longer as it's too tight at present. I often start a project like braiding and then never bother to actually install it as cable management is such a chore.

Here's an older image before I changed the graphics card, wired up some of the braid and changed one of the front fans. Top and bottom mounted Orange 30cm 15 SMD led strips. I think it's all before I wired up the fron switch panel too, which I can use to switch every single light off if I choose.

Only 1x 200mm LED fan on the intake. I'm tempted to just disconnect the LEDs though as it is a bit bright!
 
Put a layer of black tights over the fan - will filter out more dust and make the lights seem dimmer :)

Tealc, your lighting setup never ceases to amaze me lol

Shame about the blue light on the graphics card isn't it :(

As I said that was a before piture. I did swap the blue LED for an orange after I took that particular image and although it wasn't at all bright it did look better.

You should get yourself a soldering iron mate and start tinkering. £5 on eBay for a cheap one.

A 30 second exposure will be sensitive to light and show it as such :)

Some very nice lighting coming from some of these builds but nothing that catches my eye just yet. Where are the case modders??
