Default Thermal Take

Hey all, just wana get everyones opinion on thermaltake products?
I just baught my new system which i'm proud of in some senses but not so proud in others.
For starters i baught the thermaltake xaser III series case which you need a crain to lift nearly. Put the side window mod in with just simple case lights (2 blue fan lights). But as i feel and can see that is not even enough to light up the huge xaser III, so today i just ordered a UV cathode and blue EL string lights to do a bit more illumination. THe system current specs are:

Intel P4 3.06ghz
8 INXP gigabyte motherboard
80gb 7200rpm seagate HDD
1gb ddr kingston ram
gforce fx5800
standard dvd and 52x burner
tv card
Audigy2 Platinum EX sound card
Logitech Z-680 surround sound system
and all the other shit that can go inside a pc

At moment im having a bit of a problem with teh stupid gforce card overheating, well i believe it is that, my cpu runs at 54 degrees celcius when im running most games at peak level. I really should have gone for a radeon but i was rushing for a card. THe gforce is bloody huge, takes up 2 of my pci slots as you all know and sounds like a helicopter taking off, i've managed to dull noise a little but still revs at it. I have aproximately 10 case fans which is a major overkill i know but the thermaltake case comes standard with about 7 i think. I dont have picture of it right now since i am at work and bored out of my brain; ill get a pic up here when i put in new cathode lights which arive next week. Its a pretty sweet setup, nice 19" flat crt monitor. Been looking at a lot of mods on this forum and some of them are looking very sweet, i got one problem with my case tho, i want the LED lights up the front of my computer to light up but as u all know motherboards now days allow you to only hook up one set of lights for the HDD light and system light. SO i have a side fan that uses same connectors which i cant plug into anything, what kinda kit do i need to allow this??? Is there one? there has to be, if not ill have to invent it! Well better get back to doing nothing at work.
