So I'm building my new PC and I'm using a NZXT M59 (http://www.nzxt.com/new/products/classic_series/m59) case. Now it comes with a blue LED fan in the side, but I want it to be all lit up on the inside kind of like this (http://media.photobucket.com/image/lights%20in%20pc/keilbaca/My%20love/DSCF0652.jpg).
So my question is how do I do this?
:)

Cold Cathodes or an LED strip...
Newegg's selection-

To install just stick them where you want them, connect the molex connectors and the switcher to the lights and install the on/off switch in a pci slot... easiest computer job in the world... same principle for the LED strips

Cold Cathodes work best and are pretty bright.
If you have the space available, a dual 12-inch kit should work out well.

I sleep in the same room as my computer. So i went with UV. Not near as bright and a cool effect in the case.

So do the molex connectors connect directly to the PSU?

Or just buy performance case Fans that come with LEDs on them, id prefer that over a cathode light.
and yes fan molexs connect to the PSU's molex connectors

I can't find sound activated ones anywhere in the UK :(
Hold on, my PSU has these connectors:
1 x floppy
1 x PCI-E 6
1 x (20+4) PIN
3 x SATA cables
3 x Peripheral
1 x P4 4 Pin
Which are molex? :s

They look like rounded off trapezoids with four metal pins in them
In as few words as possible :p

Thanks :P I checked out the box and it says 4 'peripheral' cables, which I'm pretty sure will do the job! Thanks for the help guys!
