The Computer Megathread

I didn't. I'm just asking in case I want to use a different color for aesthetic purposes.

Are you planning on having different LED lights on that Phantom case?

How the hell did you break an LED?

LEDs are actually quite sensitive and break fairly easily.

Yeah. I want to put some white and purple LEDs up in there to make it look like it was forged in the galactic center of the Andromeda.

Choose the colors you want.

For custom LEDs, I recommend adding another fan (one is good enough) which has a different colored LED, if you scroll down the above list you can find the 3 fans with "image coming soon". Remember to READ for the color you want, also, remember to pick from only those three, as other LED fans probably won't work. (I think)

Although, I don't know about your special LED style you want.

I could always just line the interior with some of those cheap LED sticks. I found one which uses UV light, which sounds pretty cool.

But I'm going to make it look awesome later. Right now I'm concerned with just building the damn thing in the first place.

This case is pretty huge. There's plenty of room for organization, convenient features like fan control and sliding disk trays. Not to mention having space for large fans (which can be as efficient as smaller fans but at slower RPMs), but is it not worth it just because of the size? What are my best options if so?

Common sense tells me the case is worth it. Don't forget that the extra space will serve as a convenience to assembling the computer hardware in there, plus any upgrades in the future, 'specially those GFX cards. Upgrading my GeForce 210 to a monster 6850 was a pain in the ass. My case is 20.5cm (8") wide, 54cm (21.26") tall and 46cm (18.1") long.

Shoot, it's taller than it is long.

Yeah, It's probably not a big deal. Thanks for clearing up my anxiety about this.

Monster 6850?
I'd hate to see you try and get a 6990 in there, lol.
Also, one of my systems has a 5850 in it, which protrudes INTO the hard drive bays by a couple of inches, as it's a micro ATX case.

[HerpaDerp]

GTX 470 or 6870? Both are same price.

My god, please just stick to one graphics card lol.
Look at benchmarks.

[Ethan]

Lol.

Where did you get that? :o

Quick google search, one of the first links...?

[Squideey]

What are those numbers? FPS?
