      Cool. Do the UV LEDs make the UV-reactive connectors and components glow? If yes, I might add some UV LEDs to mine as well.

      Indeed these are good PSUs for the bling folks. Too bad none of my cases have side Windows. Actually, I do have one case with a window, but I'm not really a fan of its design. It's a Thermaltake Commander MS-I Snow edition. Only got it because otherwise a co-worked of mine was going to dump it for recycling. A bit on the cheap side when it comes to steel thickness, but I guess it's good enough for people who want a good looking case and nothing else. Perhaps I really should put that Aspire PSU in it then, to match the crap quality and flashy looks.
