Green or Blue

Blade64 · 12-May-03, 04:22 AM

Hey guys heres my problem,

Ive just bought a new comp and decided i want to mod my case up a bit. But im stuck on what colours and what products to get. Either Blue or Green are what ive got in mind so far. But then once i decide what colour im not sure whats the good **** to get. Is it worth getting a $60NZ Cold Cathode over a stadard $35NZ Dollar one ? Allso what do you guys think about this key baord mod,

..... worth a try ?

About the cc's, it depends on what ones. Do you have any links to what your talking about? Usually the more expensive ones work better, but it all depends on what you can afford.

Cheap one: $33 sound sensative

well the more expensive one does get a good review on the site, but thermaltake is a pretty decent brand. Im sure the more expensive one is better, but i dont think itd be worth the difference. But read some reviews on the thermaltake cc's, and see if there any good.

TheOutcast · 12-May-03, 02:08 PM

From what I've heard of the thermaltake CC's, they are pretty bad... then again, there are a lot of whiny hoes on the newegg product thing and the ones who are happy generally dont post.

I know I haven't posted anything about my stuff that I ordered there.

go.bloo & green, as for newegg, I've had nothing but great service and great repor with their service dept. I had a problem with my EPoX 8K9A2+ mobo and after they did a walkthrough to make sure that it wasn't user error and they RMA"ed it.The same day that it got there, they 2-dayed a brand new one to me.They're tits
in my book...

go cheep

i havent heard anything bad about the ones at svc yet

Dimazz · 12-May-03, 07:22 PM

i would go for the keyboard mod, it you do it right it will be sweet. i am thinking about buying a cc from www.svc.com because they are cheap , didnt hear anything bad about the cc's.

SilentlyViolently · 12-May-03, 09:06 PM

I've actually heard some pretty good reviews of SVC's CCs. I'll post them if I can find them. That's where I'm going to buy mine. Can't beat $11.50 for two 12" CCs w/ dual inverter. Don't know about the color, though. I've been thinking about going with yellow or white, or a combination of both. Don't know how they would look because you don't see much of those colors around. Possibly green too, though, since most of my stuff is blue.

Dimazz · 12-May-03, 09:22 PM

i have never seen a yellow cc used in a case
have you?

SilentlyViolently · 12-May-03, 10:17 PM

Nope. I've never seen a pic of one actually being used. But they do exist, so someone's gotta be buying them.

Iateronmly · 13-May-03, 01:31 AM

I should be buying a yellow CC and yellow EL wire sometime in the next few weeks. I'm goin' yellow and black colors - ugly as sin, but those are the colors I like! So in a perfect world I'll show you how ugly yellow CCs will be in 2-3 weeks.

SilentlyViolently · 13-May-03, 01:37 AM

Right on. As long as its not "bl00"

Be sure to post some pics. I've been eyeing the yellow ccfls, but I wasn't sure if they'd be as bright or clear as some of the other colors.

hawklen · 13-May-03, 09:43 PM

I partial to blue ccfls, I not fond of the yellow or green myself. Its just a matter of opnion on what colour you want to get imho..

Saw this on another site, case window tinting! kinda neat..

SilentlyViolently · 13-May-03, 10:00 PM

There's nothing wrong with blue ccfls. Blue is one of my favorite colors. It's just that blue lighting is by far the most prevalent color for all things case-lighting related in the modding world, so it's good to see someone going with something different. My need for non-blue lighting stems from the fact that my case is already blue, so I think it'd be a little redundant.

TheOutcast · 13-May-03, 10:16 PM

Well, for my next amazering stunt I will have blue lighted fans on my case and powersupply with a green ccfl + green lazer leds.. best and worst of all lighting worlds... need... cathode... fans...

hawklen · 13-May-03, 10:19 PM

those fans are expensive! Frickin' bright and all around awesomeness, but too much for me.

TheOutcast · 13-May-03, 10:47 PM

True, and I'm unable to buy anything until after august due to insurance coming due in july, and a planned case swap in early august... need to find some way to pimp up 120mm panaflos.. sh*t I've said too much already.

Lokie · 13-May-03, 10:54 PM

The light in the key board is cool,I have one.
I use a glowwire from streetglow its really good glowwire.
I want to use a couple of leds just havent gotten around to it.
