Well, it's not purple, it's actually black light.
The purpose of the cathode is to glow my reactive green objects.
Someone might know what I mean :)

It's a nice clean job. You might want to consider hiding the black-lights since they are purple to the eye.

nicely done!

I really like the H50 setup. It was about time someone did something different with this cooler! respect!

I also like the fact you planned the theme around or with the mobo colors..... finally a man with a plan!

8/10 well deserved!

I never heard of an "aluminum" HAF 932, is this new?
Because a "STEEL" case does not accept anodizing.
And the only HAF 932 I ever heard of is made of steel and plastic.

Here is a quickie on anodizing...

Anodizing, or anodising in British English, is an electrolytic passivation process used to increase the thickness of the natural oxide layer on the surface of metal parts. The process is called "anodizing" because the part to be treated forms the anode electrode of an electrical circuit. Anodizing increases corrosion resistance and wear resistance, and provides better adhesion for paint primers and glues than bare metal. Anodic films can also be used for a number of cosmetic effects, either with thick porous coatings that can absorb dyes or with thin transparent coatings that add interference effects to reflected light. Anodizing is also used to prevent galling of threaded components and to make dielectric films for electrolytic capacitors. Anodic films are most commonly applied to protect aluminium alloys, although processes also exist for titanium, zinc, magnesium, niobium, and tantalum. This process is not a useful treatment for iron or carbon steel because these metals exfoliate when oxidized; i.e. the iron oxide (also known as rust) flakes off, constantly exposing the underlying metal to corrosion.

you just made me think because I saw this today and I though its some sort of mistake but here http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.aspx?sku=443776 they list it as Aluminium Front ... and as far as i know and i have seen the case is SECC

Well, it it is not a typo and is true, then the only parts that can be anodized are the aluminum parts, not the steel parts.

Well, do you have friends in Malaysia?
If you do, ask them to send me their casing and I can even PROVE to them that I can make SECC anodizing, and I'd glad to do it on the spot too, it takes only 8 hours to complete the procedure.
My uncle owns a factory and they provide service to anodize ( finishing ), and IT'S POSSIBLE to anodize SECC, but I dont know what did they add in, as I'm not working for them.
They can do powder coat, nickel coat, aluminum anodizing, and 2K paint, chrome and airbrush too :D

Please visit forum.lowyat.net to know more about me :D
Please find more information online regarding metal anodizing, and yes, aluminum is the origin of anodizing, but not for now anymore,and I think those Ti Rainbow anodizing can be done too.

***There's no aluminum HAF932 in the world, but there's a anodized HAF932 in the world, fully anodized some more, and it's mine.
Let me know if you have friends here, I welcome them anytime :d

If it is a "carbon steel" case, it may be chromated...but it sure is not "anodized".
There is an anodizing process for STAINLESS STEEL however, but I doubt there is a HAF 932 made of stainless.

Anodic films are most commonly applied to protect aluminium alloys, although processes also exist for titanium, zinc, magnesium, niobium, and tantalum. This process is not a useful treatment for iron or carbon steel because these metals exfoliate when oxidized; i.e. the iron oxide (also known as rust) flakes off, constantly exposing the underlying metal to corrosion.

If you think I don't know what I am talking about, just Google it.

I know you googled "metal anodize" and "steel anodize"
Anyway, I don't need to argue with you, the only difference between Aluminum anodizing and Steel anodizing is, steel will rust even it's anodized, but aluminum will not,

Due to the reaction of the steel, it will rust from time to time and anodizing steel is not as good as aluminum. You really no need to argue with me, like I said, if you have friends here, I can do it to show them and prove to them and ask them to tell you personally.

I WELCOME THEM ANYTIME. :-D

I didn't just Google for the information, I KNOW the information. I have been in the Tool and Die trade for many years and I have had plating of all kinds performed on a large variety of materials.
That is one part of my job, to make decisions on a variety of plating processes relative to function. I work closely with engineering staff to determine the proper processes.

Now I don't want to argue with you either, but I need to make a point here. So this will be my last response regarding this matter...

Anodizing is NOT a useful treatment for iron or carbon steel because these metals exfoliate when oxidized; i.e. the iron oxide (also known as rust) flakes off, constantly exposing the underlying metal to corrosion.

If I mentioned useful treatment, then I no need to tell you that Steel will rust from time to time.
And if you really been in tool and die trade for many years, and plating off all kinds performed on a large variety of materials, I think you should know what is SECC instead of asking here :-D

Anyway, thanks for sharing your information, really much appreciated :-D
