The gauges have their own lighting unfortunately for people that want something other than blue. !ender has had very decent things to say about that case's performance. I imagine with the stage 3 air cooling package, it would be quite capable of maintaining good air flow for overclocking quads given the temps he has posted.

if your components are anywhere near the same as mine you will -love- this case. unfortunatly you have to stick with blue lights unless you are enough of a modder to refit the case with red LED gauges...
the side fan included with the case also glows blue, i added a blue cathode too for fun... i didnt want to reveal any of these until i finally post my DSO review, but:  (i guess my sig kinda shows it anyway)

EDIT: what do the gauges do? do they measure heat? or something or are they like speedometer for the CPU?

yea, its gorgeous.. ill post some more when i do my official review.
 
also, food for thought, as you can tell in my photos the light is based in the bottom of the computer, if i were you, i would ask if you could get one of the 2 included cathode lights on the top of the case instead of the bottom.(both of mine sit next to eachother on the bottom) while im sure this would be a small hassle for the builder, i believe the outcome would be very worth it, visually
