Busy taking a look at my options, what do you guys think??

Got the cold cathode tubes at the moment. Both mounted on the side panel, one at the top one at the bottom!

They seem to be getting a bit old and don't produce good light anymore?

I just got cheap Vizo UV cold cathodes, mounted the same way. Your CCFLs are probably the same?

And 2m red LED strip lighting for the back of the mobo plate. Maybe you could try the same with your preferred colour. White was second on my list.

thanks for the reply.

im also going for something not too flashy. Im not running a circus here :p

red was my colour of choice to be honest, looks good but not too bright. I think some of those double sided LED (red) will also look good. You stick it under the motherboard plate? right?

got my fan controller, sleeving kit, LED's gonna look all pwetty when its done! :D
 
Exactly, I was worried it'd be too bright, but it's not at all after all the cable management etc.





 
looks good man. I see you left the LED strips all in one piece and kinda bent it... thats cool hey? not gonna effect it of anything?

And that is one meter?

If I look at the pics with the light off, i can hardly see any red?? Your motherboard backing plate doesnt let much light in or what?

when comparing this to this

This is gonna take an age... Need to do all the sleeve kits and the led back lighting. I'm not happy with my uv cold cathodes, I think they have lost their umph over the years, does that sound right??

Anyway, the sorry state at the moment...
