Of course it does! That's the height of modding

Mild mods here, windowed side panel to Lian Li PC61 case with purple strip light and switch mounted on one of the spare 3.5" front panels.

Antec 1030 case: Fitted 92mm fan & grill to side of case opposite CPU, it helps; 4 x switches fitted to front 5.25" front panel controlling the other four case fans; front headphone socket fitted to same panel, wired so that when headphones plugged in it mutes the output to the speakers.

Old Dell Pentium 166Mhz dropped 13 storeys.....

And that's about it really.

I'm in a very strange situation here... almost everything in my room is "modded". I have eletronic gadgets doing all sorts of sad and useless things, but my computer is 100% non-modded.

One day I may do though My old one had a side window, blue LEDs etc... but this one is boring

psd: no, modding is not just lights, there's a whole lot more you can do.

You can 'stealth' your drives, add switches and sockets to the front, spray the case a different colour/colours, add fans, add windows, design a custom made case in the shape of a robot or a castle or whatever you fancy, add a coupla headlights to the top or front, through a window'ed side panel view a skull, spider, whatever, lit up in UV, I mean, it's open to your imagination
