I am modding up a HAF 932 I picked up off the MM for £30. It had been previously sprayed to a pretty bad level, especially where the dust had not been removed before painting! Anyway, I shall be repainting the insides (coming along nicely) and will be cutting a window. Now I know everyone has different tastes, but I like to show off my system and light it up like a Christmas tree!

Anyway, the theme is going to be red and black, a few parts of the case will be painted red, fans will be red and lighting will be red. There's my problem- lighting. I plan on lighting it with my LED fans and some CCFL tubes, however, I like to see what is inside clearly, and red isn't the best colour for that! Here's what I'm thinking:

  • Red LED fans
  • Two 10cm CCFLs in the 5.25" bays backlighting the drive bay covers and lighting the case
  • Small white CCFLs by the door allowing for a clearer view of what's happening

What do you think? What effect will mixing the white and red have? Is there enough red? Opinions please!
