    Question about cold cathode lights

    I am rebuilding my PC with one of the green windowed chieftec cases. I want to put in a green ccfl light to complete the effect, but I've never seen or used case lighting. So:

    1. Will one light be enough?
    2. Where do I place the light(s) in the case?
    3. What is a good place to buy from. I was just gonna buy from newegg


    Also, I noticed this in another thread. Chieftec cases don't have a removeable mobo tray? How cumbersome is this during installation?

    thanks,

    You may have to play with the light in different places to see what gives you the best effect.

    Place I found that has wide variety of lights is: www.directron.com

    I know there are other places that people use. i have bought items from directron with no problems.

    I own a Chieftec and installing the motherboard isn't really that big of a deal. There is plenty of room in there to work. and they usually don't have any sharp edges to kill yourself on while your down there. I love mine..

    hope I helped

    P.S. Mine is the yellow version, very nice. windowed(premod) and everything
