Upgrade Diablo 3 with an Adafruit Adalight System

Adafruit customer Dagthomas installed an Adafruit Adalight System behind his computer monitor while waiting for the Diablo 3 servers to come back online.  The results are very impressive, especially when casting a spell that hits the edge of the monitor.  This should certainly help brighten up some of those dark early levels in the game as well.

Check out his writeup on Reddit.
