Modding supply sources

[Susquehannock]

Been out of the loop for a long time. What are good places to buy case modding supplies like fans & lighting these days?

Building a retro nForce2 system and want some white and UV lighting. Had trouble with CCFL inverters in the past. Have they gotten any better?

Just use LED Strips anymore. You can buy them with a remote to control colors, even, on the fly.

Oh man.. I've had so many of those same inverters die the exact same way, lol.

Spare cathode inverters of the same subpar quality: https://www.amazon.com/iMBAPrice®-Cathode-Inverter-Harness-Switch/dp/B011DH20FQ/

Better 2-cathode inverter: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NA9SEGC/
Better 4-cathode inverter: https://www.amazon.com/Monsoon-Inverter-Power-Connector-Support/dp/B01N0KV75P/

But I do understand keeping the use of cathodes instead of LED's. I'm doing a retro build right now, and want to keep the look of the cathodes versus LED's, since those LED strips didn't exist back then on the PC modding scene.

jesus, at that price why would you ever buy the 2?
I suppose for pure retro, you'd want to stick to CCFLs.

ModmyMods These are the guys from FrozenCPU before the owner lost his mind.

Cablemods Pretty much legendary with attention to detail.

Nope, I used to work there.
He had lost his mind at the turn of the century already. Maybe he went off an even /DEEPER/ end, but that jackass was always insane...

The coke fueled destruction of the store was what I was referring to as far as going off the deepend. lol

Never said they weren't, I was referring to the owner losing his mind. He hadn't had one for /years/

Bought all my Noctua fans, molex pins, crimpers, silicone wire, and pretty much everything else at Amazon.
