I like that! It would be better if it was aligned along the bottom though IMO

That Kryptonic G5 looks crappy to me, and I'm not even feeling all that grumpy..hmmm.

IMO you don't need to mod a Mac cause they already look cool enough. PeeCees on the other hand...

I dunno. To me, nothing say "I am a PC geek without a life" more than lights in a computer. I guess it must be some homoerotic thing as I am sure PC lighting only impresses other male PC nerds.

Maybe I am an idiot with bad taste though and PC lighting is awesome. Again, I dunno.

So you are saying you are still dating even though you are engaged?

It's funny how someone with over 700 message board posts tells someone else that they don't have a life.

Come on, no one would be complaining if the light were Blue. All the rumors about Green Light are simply that. Just rumors!!

Can tell you people aren't sportbike guys... if ya were you'd be talking anodizing instead of illuminating. Aluminum case... strip it apart and a quick trip to the plating shop and you could have a colored case.

Be trick. Or just ugly.

That green light gives you at least 40 extra MHzs and for each sticker you get 5MHz and 8MHz if they are from www.hackerstickers.com.

If it were an aqua light maybe 50MHz... Maybe.... The aqua might look cooler.

Don't forget that in addition to lights, a Punisher fan grill really makes the computer sooo much faster. And could you imagine what would happen if you added your Quake clan symbol airbrushed on to the case?!

Maybe that's what Apple should have done during the MHz wars... added a flaming tribal Apple on to the case and some lights instead of "Blue Dalmatian" and "Flower Power."
