Das PC-Modding wird immer beliebter. Fast jeder hat schon mal ein gemoddetes Gehäuse oder zumindest das Zubehör für jene gesehen. Manche hat dies fasziniert und andere wiederum nicht – Ob’s gefällt, muss jeder für sich selbst entscheiden. Doch der Trend geht zu immer ausgefalleneren Gehäusen und zu dessen Zubehör über. Die Meisten begnügen sich mit diversen Kaltlichtkathoden, die in allerlei Farben leuchten. Doch wer etwas Besonderes haben will, sollte sich auch einmal mit UV-Licht auseinander setzen. Es lassen sich damit wunderbare Effekte erzielen, die man mit normalem Licht nicht erzielen kann. Dies nahmen wir zum Anlass uns einmal diverse UV-Artikel anzusehen.

The revised look is a welcome change and can be classified somewhere in-between the Volcano 9 and the Volcano 7+ as evident characteristics and designs were implemented from both units. One of the more noticeable is the addition of a newer fan shroud, which will be covered later on in the review. The Volcano 11+ features a black color theme coupled all copper construction. The Volcano 11+ is based upon the growing Xaser themed cases and features a Xaser style fan grill and newly colored Smart Fan II for a universal theme. The overall weight of the assembled unit is a respectable 476 Grams.
