i am redoing my everyday 24/7 rig and i was wondering what color of lights should i use?

here is what i got and how it looks in my case


here is what i got in there
a) White (alike New Audi Headlights)
b) Pure Red
c) Pure Blue
or what combination of two or three looks the best?

those whites somehow in the video it looked a little blue
i have had those red for over 6 years now same as those blue ones
my main air cooler is got 2 120mm antec tri blue in them


and second question is i am really building a media computer and i was wondering what is like a good side way case that's cheap and works ok
i am really thinking about building one out of those clear plastic things i can't remember what they are called but looks like this

actually that's exactly what i am thinking about making or building
a pure benching case open top and area for powersupplie on the bottom and maybe a dvd area slim ones cuz that's all i got now

dose anyone have used one or can share some pix of something like that would be great

cuz i am kind of sick of carrying a clipboard with my motherboard on top of it with some paper tow and other soft things on it

You can get server cases off newegg pretty cheap, thats what I am using for my HTPC right now.

Lascala LC-20 is nice also, needs modding IMHO. If you do go this route make sure to get the one with 2x3 drive 3.5" cages instead of the single 6 bay. This will give you more options.

(I removed my drive cage entirely and modded the front for 2x120 MM fans.)
