Case Logic

 OK, so you want an uber cool gaming case. So you of course get the clear plastic side panel, or ever BETTER an all plastic case. Then in addition to your components, you fill it up with LOTS of blinky lights. BAKA!! (Japanese for idiot ) All those components inside the computer generate heat. Then the funky blinking lights that look so pretty add even MORE heat. In addition to strength, steel and aluminum are good heat sinks. Plastic has no such quality. So to compensate for the loss of heat sinking from the plastic, and the additional heat from the cool looking blinky lights, you now need to add more case fans to deal with the excess heat build up. Of course the fans themselves add more heat too. Your new, pimpin' machine is truly a monument to inefficiency and stupidity.
