    Our Father, who 0wnz heaven, j00 r0ck!
    May all 0ur base someday be belong to you!
    Give us this day our warez, mp3z, and pr0n through a phat pipe.

        Before illuminated PSU: 0.5 inches.
        After illuminated PSU: 0.7 inches.

        Simple really, it will add on 0.2 inches to...

          What's wrong with having a modded PSU? It was only a suggestion. Sheesh, you guys are such pricks I don't think I'll ever tell the full specs of my system here, cause you guys would have a lot to say about it.

            I think it's a cool PSU.

            Edit: As Pace mentioned below, it is a tad expensive.

              Excuse me? I've got nothing against a modded PSU, as I said, it adds 0.2 inches.

              However, as I think someone else noted, its $125! Sheesh!

                    He is right Buddman. You can't just slap together pre-moded equipment and expect to be uber-cool because of it.

                    The coolness is not only derived by the way the case looks, but by the effort and commitment the owner puts into it. Ie. The most difficult and more skill required to perform a mod, the more cool it is. (as long as it is astheticly good too)

                      True, but not everybody has the time nor the resources to mod their systems. Sometimes it's just easier to buy a pre-modded part.

                        I understand this, and I didn't say pre-modded parts were ugly or bad. In fact, I may buy and use a few myself for their asthetic qualities (but probably only the cheaper, more subtle and functional mods)

                        Its just that pre-modded parts are expensive, yet don't really scream "cool" as much as doing it yourself does.

                          And you don't get the bragging rights either!

                          But when you mod it yourself (and your successful of course) than you feel real proud of what you've done.

                              It's pre-modded, so it is modded.

                                Modded? Hardly. It performs no useful function, it is merely aesthetic. The correct term is <B>riced</B>.
