Default I want an LED cool looking light up WC...what should I get?

I want a water cooling setup that has cool lights and all that fancy stuff while still being good...

What would I aim towards? Silent is also good...silence > lights...but it still would be nice...

Can someone help me with one? I'm new to water cooling...

Thanks in advance!

Also, should I get a new case from my Antec 900? I was thinking the Antec 1200 as I can get it for $150 from my local Microcenter, and it's full tower...

Checkout some expensive acrylic cases over at www.dangerden.com
there imo the awesome!
i dont like LEDs that much esp blue green purple etc. i like UV
You can cheap UV cathlodes like AC Ryan over at Performance-PC's, maybe through in some nice fans? for silence, thats kinda in the hardware? Silent PSU's, silent cpu coolers, etc. You can buy akasa sound asorb matting around which i hear works great.
lemme know which colors ur going for?

You should probably just get cathodes/LEDs to fill your case and have cathode/LED fans and such.

When you say that you want something cool looking I know what you mean however where do you want it?

There are alot of different lights that come in all shapes,sizes,colors,types.

To say you want it for you water cooling system is a little bit general. You could have leds from the outside to highlight your tubing or you could have leds which connect to the tubes or reservoirs and lit from within.

Then there are many case lits also. Many options~!

Here are some links to some companies that have nice lited things for your pc:

Just get uv cathodes, setup your water cooling loop, add in green (easy to find) UV dye, find some purple or darker pink (will look purply) and turn on the UV cathodes and POW you got yourself a nice mardi gras style setup!
