Anyone got one of these themselves? this was a basic ATX case, but its so powerful that it makes a shadow on the side of my bed 1 metre away.

Errr... Wow....

I wish I could afford an LED right now. Need a fan for my GEforce 5200 first....

I count 19 LEDs within arm's reach of my seat.

I'm sure all of those combined could make an LED so bright it would destroy itself.

To be honest, I'd spend a few extra notes upgrading the card rather than buying an expensive (and to be honest overkill) custom fan (afaik I don't think you can buy stock fans for graphics cards on their own.)

Woah, thats......... a lot.
yeah, i just posted this, because its a basic ATX case i bought at the cheapest price i can buy, and my other 2 computers cases that are betetr done even have one this strong. Could be because of that glass/plastic/hard cheese.

Oh, how I wish I had the money to upgrade to a new card. But, I can't even afford to buy the fan I need for it (Which is about $10, by the way.) I'm extremely broke right now....

LED-ish and super, but not a super LED.

speaking of LED's, my big spiffing project for next summer is to take a big mirror, and put a big clock made of LED's into it. The mirror will be about a meter high and about 2 to 3 long, to cover most of my wall, with the clock being made of a lot of led's and being about 6 inches high and about 2 foot long.

With a dimmer switch!

Have fun spending a lot of money. That is going to take AGES.
