This should go nicely with the 52x cupholder

I have spent the past several days coping with hardware issues, the most serious of which is probably due to an overheating Athlon chip. My search for cooling solutions (did you know you can water-cool your CPU like an old VW bug?) has led me deep and unwary into case modding sites.

Case modding, if you're unaware, is the art of customizing computers with case windows, internal neon lights, custom grilles, glowing case fans, and other tasteful flourishes. (More about this when I have time.) Read through enough of these sites, and you get the urge to put a few lights inside your desktop: just something small and discreet, maybe in flashing UV pink.

My favorite accessory by far is the cigarette lighter that fits into a 5.25" bay (like your CD-ROM drive does). Charge your cell phone! Charge your laptop! Light your smokes! Bizarre visuals aside, the car cigarette lighter is a standard that has far outgrown its original purpose. According to Money Magazine, they're spreading inside cars like measles:

In model-year 2004, there are 47 vehicles that come, standard, with five or six lighter sockets, according to Carsdirect.com. In 1998, no vehicles came with that many.
[...]
The Mini Cooper has one in the dash as well as one in the cargo area. (The extra lighter-style socket went away for the 2003 model year, but returned due to customer demand, said a Mini spokesperson.)

If you're sprinkling electrical sockets around a car's interior, why not use normal 2-prong sockets?
