    what do u think? (case lighting)

    i want to light my case but cant decide what i wanna do with it... its gonna ba a red-black theme...
    ive got a chieftec black server case and im think ing either =

    1. 1-2 red cathodes with a window applique

    or

    2. a UV cathode with red -reactive ide and floppy cables and a red LED fan for the window....

    what do u guys think? go for the red eerie glow, or have crazy red things glowing inside witha a red ligthed side fan?

    I think red cathodes... no UV.

    BTW, why didn't you make this a poll??

    But, IMO, that ruins the whole "glow effect." Thats just what I think.. I think youd be best off with some red cathodes hidden where you cant seem them, and you should be set.

    Yeah I guess you're right. If you are after a nice flow effect, get some 6 inch cathodes, they should light up the case nicely, but not too much.
