I think I saw someone on overclock.net selling their tuniq for like $30 shipped, you could jsut replace the fan with an led one for cheap.

Is that power supply necessary or can you get something more useful for your system. I would say get a good name 550-watt (at most) power supply to power your 8600GT. That PSU is merely okay at most and from past experience with that series, I wouldn't recommend it.

Fan Controller:
http://www.svc.com/zazm1mufansp.html $2 cheaper. :P
or totally different model
http://www.svc.com/bus-54-bk-24.html
http://www.svc.com/bus-55-sl-24.html <---silver

And honestly, for the CPU cooler, just get the Arctic Freezer Pro. It cools my E6320 overclocked to 3.56Ghz to a cool 28°Idle, 56° load. Plus, it only costs $21.99!

But anywho, shaved off some $ for ya!


EDIT:
Forgot to mention. SVC will have lights probably cheaper also. Look there.

You could easily lose the lighting and cpu cooler and an arctic freezer, also you can get a good psu for around $60.
