No suggestions. Perfect as it sits.

Id say maybe a blue or dark purple cathode would look pretty sweet. I always wanted to re-sleeve my psu and have the all the connection tips chrome plated but not with real metal more like that paint that's used for kids toys. This would complete and black and chrome color scheme which I personally think looks really awesome. I was thinking about just painted my tips I just need to locate the paint and hope it turns out well. If it does work I would then paint the fan blades the same.

I think maybe this paint..

@crtecha
thanks for the tip! will check those out. but i'm not sure about the purple or blue
cathodes though. i've always enjoyed white lights. but i chose to use white led modules
instead of my previous white ccfl. a little dim but i like the overall effect.^^

here's a pic i had when i have the ccfls installed. (old pic, it lacked mods like sleeving etc)



my problem here is that the gigabyte logo i made cant be seen clearly as opposed
to what i did with my led modules. (didn't take a pic since it can be seen)

and the bright ccfls also magnify dust that accumulate to my rig! haha
i also tried combining led module and ccfls but the effect did not suit my taste.
the bluish hue of the white leds did not blend in well with the white ccfl.

but i will try to look at the paint you suggested. thanks again!

no problem Im going to pick up some this weekend to give it a go on a old psu. Also how do you have the LED's wired? I made a usb powered keyboard light using LED's and planned on mounted some in my case.
