I just received this case from Newegg. It has a blue front light and a blue fan on the side, which is easily removed.

I am trying to decide whether to go with blue throughout or try a different color. I have thought about putting in red fans and a case light. I don't think green would look good with blue. Luckily, there is a swith which allows me to turn off the front light, however the plastic bezel has blueish tint. What do you all think? Stick with blue or go red?

Are you saying that red case light will make my computer hotter? It's a cold cathode tube, shouldn't matter what color it is, or am I missing something?

BTW, I will have 4 case fans mounted, so the cooling should not be a problem.

wow, how much was that case... I like it...

I managed to score a "refurb" deal and it was $40.00 shipped with PSU included. Not sure what makes it a "refurb" as it was sealed with all the accessories and protective plastic still intact on the front bezel. I always wanted a black/silver case but did nopt want to having to buy new drives or having to repaint my drive bezels to match the case. This one came with two flip-down faceplates, makes it look cool and easier on me too.

AFAIK the regular price is $54.00 plus shipping.
