These "RGB" fancy pancy devices usually have some sort of "RGB CONTROLLER" that is a separate device somewhere where cables come in (unless it is onboard rgb controller). Follow the wires and see if there are some sort of regulators / buttons / knobs that would allow light control :-) On the other hand, these lights can be used to communicate some important events, cpu load, network load, etc, well, if its already out there :-) --=20 CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info
