heh, the mods are not really as expensive as many think, just you have to know where to shop. I do agree, that some things are expensive in quantitys (i.e. the cathods, 6 lights run $120+), but when you buy things a little at a time, they are not as expensive. I prefer to buy all at once to save one shipping rates, just because UPS never delivers on time anymore, so I have to save all I can with FedEx as they are $5-$20 more.
I would have to say, without any of the computer parts, just for the mods and my case, the net worth is around $350 for the mods. This includes new leds, 6 lights, GeForce Mod, Heatsink Mod, Aluminum Casing, and Window.
I'll not go into how much has been spent on computer parts
