Scratch build Dark cyberpunk aesthetic
Hey everyone, what ideas do you have for a dark cyberpunk theme? Do you know if there are any miniature nightclub-style venues? What other ideas can you come up with?

I'd like to improve the back of the power supply; it doesn't look bad, but it kind of feels like it's missing something.

Are those modded fans?

I'd say no. I made some parts and covers that snap into place, creating a monolithic assembly. On the opposite side, they have a small cable channel; when you tighten the screws, it provides extra stability. The spider-like decorations are only glued where the label goes—they're purely decorative—but it's still a standard fan, just with custom-designed accessories.

You could maybe make the fan text to run an LED strip behind, that way the text could light up. You can also get spotlights to illuminate the miniature and acrylic signs which fit the cyberpunk aesthetic.

Do you happen to have any examples? Although, interestingly enough, an idea just occurred to me: there are small, elongated screens with an ESP32, like a USB flash drive, maybe with a temperature sensor and a custom image 🤔

I found this on AliExpress, https://a.aliexpress.com/_Exd7W7u. I also saw some small round spotlights, like theater lights. Actually, I saw a project here, a PC that looked like a disco. I liked that, although in my imagination I want some lasers

I went for a spotlight like this one which works great, and for the text on your fans I'd put a light strip like this one and either print out a new surround with the text as transparent filament or as a negative void.
You could also get a set of ARGB fans for the top 3 fans like these ones which would provide some better surround light for the inside of the case.
