    A good cathode light?

    The last blue cathode light I had for my PC didn't last long. Actually it ended up lasting for maybe a month. My PC started to fill with smoke and the entire house started to smell very bad.

    After quickly turning off my PSU I investigated what was wrong and it was indeed a bad cathode light (or its molex connecter perhaps failed).

    Anyways I need a good recomendation of where to find and perhaps purchase a good, stable, and long lasting cathode light for the floor of my PC case.

    The last light I had was probably the length of about 4-6 inches.

    I had some 12" UV's from FrozenCPU that worked fine (except I dropped one and KOed it). Here's the 4 inch version.

    I'd imagine any of these would be fine as well.

    i was looking at the 12inch versions of the lights spry recommended from frozencpu. the review made me want to buy it, but i didnt like the switch, cuz i cant think of a place to put it. and i dont feel like leaving it dangling or drilling a hole in my case as i'm inexperienced.

    i also looked at the other ones he gave a link to, and the price is great, but i couldnt find a review, so i dont trust em that much.

    i'm looking for a pair of purple 12inch uv cold cathode lights. if anyone could help me out, or if anyone thinks the ones spry posted are good, please post.

    i want purple cuz i'm gonna have blue uv sleeving and green led fans, and i want all 3 cool colors in my case.

    That seems to be the etiquette.

    I have had no problems with the SVC CCFL lights I have used.

    SVC 12" kits

    As far as switches go you can extend the wire and mount any switch you want, wherever you want it.
