    Question Do you think my case lighting is good?

    I bought these 4 leds a few months ago and when I got my new case I deecided to give them a shot. Here is two pics: (sorry the one is blurry)






    Do you think a cold cathode or neon light would be better? (the ones that come in a stick)

    for only being 4 LEDs that's pretty darn impressive. i like the casting effect you have there, with the tops of the cards in the blue light and the bottoms in the shadows. of course a cold cathode would really light up that case considerably....they're really quite bright. a friend of mine just picked up two 12" blue ones, and with his case panels off they pretty much light up his entire room.

    Thanks. Yeah, I got the leds off of ebay. They were originally supposed to be for lighting up the stereo in your car but I used them in my case.

    Thumbs up

    The lighting looks pretty good. Unless you just want it brighter, I'd leave it the way it is. I use a couple of cold cathodes myself. Although they're brighter, they don't give off that cool shadow look you've got there.
