    i saw a mod on the internet(can't remember where) and it was a cigarette lighter that you can fit in the comp. it was like 35 bucks for a lighter socket(like the one in your car) mounted on a steel plate with a molex connector on the end of it. I think it is a gyp for 35 bucks. I work on cars for a living and i figure i can just rip one out of an old car and hook it up to my comp, mount it and start lightin' up. what do all of you think and has anybody made this mod?

    or you could get bunch of FREE matches from your local 7/11 and not risk having PSU related problems?
    Then again I saw this guy who integrated a coffee maker to his case and named it CaffeinePC or something like that...
    I prefer taking as much load/stress off of the PSU as possible.

    if not PSU then what? the only thing I have on my PC that is not getting its juice from the case PSU is the 10" box fan I installed on the side panel...it came with its own AC plug.....no burden on the PSU, also longer life-span. ;)

    you can light up & smoke a butt, while you smoke your PC, careful second hand smoke KILL's!

    there was a debate in another forum about whether or not cigarette smoke could damage your computer ... and it seemed the consensus was that it could kill a optical drive or a hdd because of the gunky build up
