power source:
spare molex connectors

goals:
temperature controled fans
 - 3 independent groups (rear, top, front)
 - PWM
 - each group with own temp sensor
 - mode switching (automatic-temp based, full, off)
 - user defined fan speed curve
led stripes
 - 3 independent parts (rear center front)
 - modes (cycling, random, temp-responzive, whatever, off)
RC
 - control led stripe/fan/display modes
Control panel (3,5" bay)
 - mode switching buttons
 - Display (showing temp, fan speed, weather forecast)
 - status LEDs
 - IR sensor
Fit into 3,5" bay
 - everything packed there
 - except wires, ofc
Binary clock
Over the top:
 - New LED stripe mode - load responzive
  - requires custom polling app
