Solve : Orange Pc....anything??

1.	Solve : Orange Pc....anything??
Answer» Im in the neat-o process of transforming my pc into the awesominty that is orange. The problem is, My case has an abonoxious blue temp. display. I hate it with all of my being!! Its the only thing I can change so far. Has anyone EVER seen a not-blue display?? Also, Does anyone know of any sites that are NOT disadvantaged in the "Orange Department." :-/ And, do orange cathodes exist?? Ive seen plenty of red stuff on Mod sites, bt orange ie qite tricky...Fleetwood Computers have a bunch of orange stuff (put "orange" in the search box) but I don't know if they ship to the US. Newegg sells an entirely orange case - >look here<. Pretty good price, too. Cathode Lighting Systems have "orange" included in their cathode listings and you can buy orange el-wire from >these guys<, which MAY do as an alternative. Orange and red are fairly difficult colours to CREATE, it seems, but here's an idea: if none of the above work for you, you could get a white cathode tube and wrap it in orange filter plastic (gels, used for lighting) - Maplin sells that kind of stuff. Or red cathode, yellow filter. Or yellow cathode, red filter. Or try a red cathode and a yellow cathode side by side = orange. Have fun, and be sure to post a photo in this thread when you're done!I have seen that case, but I wanted one with a side and top window too. I looooove the color THOUGH! Gah!!! Newegg has orange 3 mm led lights in stock!!! I get most of mine through www.Case-Mod.com, and they are and have been sold out of orange and white LEDs and Cathodes for agggggess. Unfourtunately your site I believe does not ship to the Us!!! That makes me quite sad indeed. Its so tought to find ANYTHING orange, and When I do..its far out of reach. Thanks for your suggestions robpomeroy! The cathode Ideas aren eat! Can you order from the cathode site?? Ill be sure to put up pics when Im finished!
