I've been building my own PC for years. Out of all the computers I've built, I've never done the "trendy" thing and put a light inside the case. But this time, the particular case that I liked had a window, and I figured, "Why not? I'll spend the $10 for a cathode light ftw."
I was so proud of my baby:
Then, last week I discovered the biggest reason not to put a light in your case.
I left my computer running unattended for about 3 days while I handled real-world stuff.
When I returned it was making a terrible screeching noise.
Upon closer inspection, it was filled with... BUGS! Yes, all sorts of flying insects were attracted by the light and several had become victims of the various fans inside.
Can you say FAIL?
