I have some rounded red uv cables and I wouldnt really recommend them. Unless you have like 4 UV lights that get really bright, then they dont glow well at all. I wouldnt waste your money.
 
its not really the blue that i want. my case is all wires and im cleaning it up. im going to get some sleeves for the wires and the ribbions are just in the way. are they good wires? (not talking about the UV anymore) just want to know about the quality. I also have 2 blue tube lights 5 blue 80mm LED Fans so it will show.
 
Just a question is it alright to have both CCL's and UV Lights in your case at the same time?

Ya, there are UV ccls you know.
 
ok back to my question how good quality are these cables
 
The word is "any", not "ne". You sound like a moron when you try to act cool and type "ne".
 
They work just as fine as any other ribbon or round cable. They just glow.

MGDMN: I have 1 UV CCFL (2nd one died) and all mine glow up brilliantly. You must have bad placements :p

I have a rounded floppy and 2 rounded IDE cables. Both are 'UV' reactive and from the same company (can't remember which company atm).

The floppy cable glows really good, the IDEs you can hardly tell. The difference between the two is the floppy cable is kinda cloudy, although it was labeled as clear uv reactive and it glows green. I can't remember, but the floppy may have been glow in the dark, which would explain the cloudiness of it.

It's late and I'm rambling... point is ... ummm... it kinda depends on the material on how much it's going to glow. I think the glow in the dark cables glow more than the 'uv reactive' ones sometimes.

yes i know. my brother was harping on me about that so as u can see at the top i tried to change it but it wouldnt change the whole thing. no need to call names.

so these cables are good. i dont care about the UV i just want them because the ribbions take up to much room and its too messy in my case.
 
Yea, those will work fine. They should perform about the same as your current ones. Just keep in mind that you shouldn't go any longer than 18" cables. I've had some 36" cables and they worked great, but some experience data corruption.
 
i was looking for 12's but i couldnt find ne. i hate cables. it makes the case look like crap even if your modding it soo nice. thanks for the info.

Basically, Its green when its dark around the wires :) Better off getting a UV Cable they should be good but I heard they cause heat But i dont think that would be a big problem.
