2. a psu with blue lighting this is the only one i could find that looked half decent but the brand I have never heard of Newegg.com - APEVIA ICEBERG ATX-IB680W-BL ATX12V / EPS12V 680W Power Supply With 3-Color LED Lights 115/230 V CB IEC 950, TUV EN 60950, UL 1950, CSA 950 - Retail

If you want to mine coal, you can have one big welshman with a huge pickaxe, but lots and lots of mexican children with spoons will get you more coal.

Go with cold cathode lighting. They are reasonably cheap ($15-30) and one or two are sufficient to light up the entire inside of your case and make all the parts visible. In my experience, UV lights take quite a bit, can be expensive, and do not really look all that cool. (Unless you have water cooling with UV reactant dye in the liquid. )

Absolutely not regarding that PSU.

My OCZ PSU has a 120mm fan with blue LED's. Looks nice. I bought one with more watts than I needed, however. You might want to go with a model with a lower wattage. Here is a link anyway:

OCZ GameXStream - 700Watt power supply

Oh, there is more...
Take a look at what I found:
OCZ Technology Power Supplies : Performance-PCs.com, ... sleeve it and they will come

There should be something in there that suits you.

I agree on the cold cathode lights. I USED to have a set of UV cold cathode's in my media rig, but after moving a few times, one of them broke. The kit I got was relativly cheap one from CompUSA about 4 years ago.

Depending the on the size of the case, you might want to get 4, rather than 2.
