Of course...no case mod is complete without lighting. At first, I was going to go with ccfl's, but I've read alot of posts of the inverter frying, and thats not something Id wanna go through. After that, Ive decided not to go with cold cathodes. I want something that lights just as good, but a bit more "stable".


so far Ive found this:

http://www.xoxide.com/uv-meteor-light.html

would this be just as good? Also, can meteor lights bend? thanks

um CCFL's realy dont break like that... but if you insist on wasting your money, be my guest.

the "metor light" is just 12 LEDs in an acrylic tube. if you heat it up it will bend...

why dont you just get your own flexable tube and put your own LEDs in it... you can get superbrights for $.20 each, so if you spaced them the same as that link (1 per inch) you could get 4 feet for $10, the price of one 12" premade light.

CCFL's are cheap. If it breaks then buy another one. Its as simple as that.
