    That has got to be the cleanest workspace I have ever seen. :) Just make sure that you have adequate clear space (six inches or more) at the back of the cool black monolith as I think that the hot air would be blowing out against a wall and it would not be venting efficiently. The yellow case is probably ok on the website but it probably says something deep and psychological. But since I regard psychology as a pseudo-science, I have no idea what it says. It does scare me though. :) I mean could you actually get a monitor that would be as bright as the case?

    It has 3" and seems to be grand,
    Will be moving it soon so its fine for now.
    Thanks for the tip anyway.

    Hey PPC have you thought about taking the front off the monitor and spraying it black? It you do let me know how it turns out. I thought about doing my silver but with silver spray paint it is a bitch to get an even finish...

    Spent £700 on monitor and that green led in it is bugging me and I ain't changing it.

    If i can find a paint that can match the case I'll do my drives first.

    The chieftec cases are the best ones ive used yet so any colour is good i suppose....
