haven't you seen lights in a computer before ? surely you would of seen some pics or in stores
edit: this is also a thing you will find some overclockers do
Lights are annoying IMO, the only "mods" I have done to my compaq case is dual 80mm antec intake fans...

Some of you wondering might think "why mod a crappy compaq" Its not exactly one ;) Different stuff inside, nothing left from compaq I assure you, only the case is from compaq.

And probably the motherboard, too? I thought those big OEM companies used customized motherboards that only fit their case unless you heavily modified them.

Not always, and those "customized" boards actually fall into their own form factor called NLX and another which eludes me for a moment. Most of the problems stem from the use of riser boards for PCI/ISA slots. This allows them to make the back of the case incompatable with most other form factors, even with minor modification. Dell uses (or used to use) an incompatable PSU which would send a power bad to non-dell mobo's.

Well, they used to. Nowadays, Dell uses normal ATX power supplies.
