Before there were glowing fans with LED's or cold cathodes, modders were pulling fans appart and adding LED's to the blades of the fan's impeller. In other words, when it comes to things that blink, flash bright colours, or look damn cool in (or on) a computer case it is a safe bet that modders were there first with the idea, and the prototypes.
For example, in 1999 we'd already built our first self contained liquid cooled computer. In the fall of 2001 we'd already built our own Glowy Fan, and later in 2002 we'd already built the first Glowy mod for a stock GeFroce 4 cooling system (TT later copied this idea). When it comes to making nifty copper heatsinks I can even say, "been there done that."
The list goes on with countless examples of clear cases, fan speed controllers and so forth... I suppose as modders' ideas filter through and become more refined, adapted, improved and commercialized the bar gets raised one notch higher. Then, everyone must work just a little harder to come up with the next coolest thing to personalize a computer case.
