So, I put my thinking cap on and wondered if I could get some ultraviolet LED’s to install on this fan? A call to the local Radio Shack proved futile. It seems that you can have any color you want there, as long as it is green or red! After looking around a bit, I found some at All Electronics for about $1.75 each. That’s a bit pricey for LED’s but bright UV versions are hard to find

Ceramique is conducts zero electricity and can withstand heat from -40°C to >180°C. At room temperature, Ceramique forms a high density compound, mainly consists of micronized aluminum oxide, boron nitride and zinc oxide. Artic Silver claimed that Ceramique is a much more stable compound and does not contain any silicone. The fluid is a mixture of advanced polysynthetic oil that that boosts efficiency and has long-term stability

Not only does the Enermax UC-A5FATR2 control up to six fans, but it also includes two temp sensors which can be used for reading the temperature from things like your cpu and hard drive. The blue backlit LCD reports temperature and fan RPM and has a over heat & low RPM alarm

Seagate is the largest producer of magnetic storage products, so it is no surprise that it is the leader in the production of high performance SCSI drives. Seagate is now on to their sixth generation of 10k rpm SCSI drives, which is no longer the fastest spindle speed. However, with a data density that claims 36 gigabytes per platter, the Cheetah 10k.6 series boasts a maximum storage capacity of 146 gigabytes - couple these specifics with claimed 4.7 ms seek times and an Ultra320 interface, Seagate has created an extremely attractive hard drive.
