I don't have any yet......cuz I use the cheeeeeeap Wal-Mart special 10" neons for $9.97. They have been serving my purpose well, but I plan to get a few CC's when the prices fall even more, but that is when I need some extra brightness in a special area.

I got two Red CC's in my rig, one on the front side and one on the back side, and I have a blue sound activated neon along the back that bumps to the music.

Also have some of those light strips that I haven't hooked up yet, haven't figured out where I wanna place'em

CCs? Nah, been there, done that, mailed it to Egg....

They're not bright enough, too expensive & too fragile - it's homemade LED arrays for me from now until someone thinks of something better

I have three neons (15", 6", 6") all UV. They work great for my purposes.

Future lighting will likely be LED arrays, but I wouldn't rule out CC's.

i have a 15" liquid neon, the thing makes my case kinda flicker blue inside and the neon looks like it has a "squiqaly"(is that right????) line that moves in it...looks cool. would a 12" cc have been brighter??

i have a 10 inch neon rod and a 12inch blacklight cold cathode. both only cost me $10. i just have to rub in that my cold cathode was only $9.98 i need another one cuz my case is still too dark but that super bright "worlds brightest" led looks interesting.

I have one 12" ice blue cold cathode i bought from frozencpu.com and a 4" cold cathode same color i purchased from them as well....the 4" doesnt light a big area but it works great for lighting the skylight window i have about my cdrom drives.....great for small areas, not good for wid areas like lighting a full window veiwing your MoBo.

oh yeah and actually if you aint got credit card like someone else was saying up there, Compusa has a very wide selection of Modding supplies now, i almost bought a 10" blue cold cathode from them last time i was there....they also had 4", 6", 10" and 12" cathodes as well in Green, Red, Blue, and UV...and a nice selection of fan grills as well, they were a little more then buying them online but after shiping and handling they come out to be about the same.

Got one 12" UV CC but that isnt enough to light my case properly. Cant fit a 12" UV in roof of my case and the site i usually get them from no longer sell 4" CC's so am planning on swopping it for one of those tri-colour red/green/blue CC's.

Hopefully it wont overheat and destroy the PC
