uv cold cathodes

^^
are those good? do they produce ALOT of UV Light and light UV stuff up good?

They are good. I use them all the time, not too bad go look at my profile and click on my case and see. They work! When they were on sale I bought 6 sets.

I think those are one of the better brands of UV CCL's
some other no-name companies inverters sometimes oh i dont know randomly explode

or so i've heard
im not sure how much truth their is to that

is sound actiavated really worth it??

i dont look in my case that often and how would it look?

personally I think sound activated would get annoying?
but thats just me

i have the Ultra brand dual uv ccfl kit and it's supposed to be one of the brightest, if not THE brightest uv ccfl kit available...

brighter than any others i've seen including all generic ones...

It seems that UV ones takes a bit to get to max light, not even a minute but if you've checked them (peeps who have them) you'll see that they get brighter after say 30 seconds.
So my advice is not to get sound activated for UV ones

sound activated ones would annoy me too

ya i get those, the only real thing u have to worry about with catodes, is the converters, they tend to die, burn out, blow up.

they melted on me twice, I have 2 back ups.

yup, one of my inverters gave me a nice essence one fine morning =)

i simply cannot believe how cheaply they are made.

Sound activated only makes sense for non-UV cathodes as they would actually be noticable. I always found UV lights to be very dim, though they lit up all the UV-reactive stuff very well. Of course, I'm more of a guy that likes the entire inside lit up rather than having a few parts that light up in response to a dim light.

About those inverters. I've actually never had a problem with them. I get mine from either Xoxide or FrozenCPU and they have worked fine for literally months, if not years, at a time. Of course, I could just have been really lucky *knocks on wood*

inverters is what made me stop using ccfl's and go with tri leds

lazer leds

i have the red and green version and they are nice the red leds are really red not orange/pink and the green ones are really green too even better than my green antech led fan they are a deeper green not as much yellow to them

i ordered the UV cathodes, hope they come this week

i have 6 ccfls in my case!

4 blue coolermaster ULTRA series
2 Cooler Master UV Ultra Series
3 Inverters 2 coolermasters and 1 sun beam.

sunbeam and coolermaster are the two best producers of ccfls and i am almost positive that there inverters (the only diff is the case)

and trust me it is bright.

I bought a red one just to try it out and I was really impressed. I used it to light up dark areas that the CCFLs couldn't reach. One thing I don't like is that the light doesn't diffuse to light up enough things. It's just three LEDs shining light in a single direction. It's kinda like comparing flourescent bulbs with flashlights. You KNOW that the tube lights will be brighter and cover a bigger area with their light compared to a flashlight, which can only light up a narrow space in the space it is pointing at.

i use 4 ultra violet in my xase see my avatar

i love that smell dont you all almost as good as when i accidently moved the hsf from my barton 2500 up in smoke it went
but any way those lok cool to bad my case looks like i got it from a junk yard

My inverter is placed so if it does blow up Itll take my audigy 2 ZS, and my 9600XT with it, so I just pray it doesn't.

Ive never seen one blow up, but i saw the after effect of one on a website, the radius of the explosion and fire was quite large as I remmeber.

theres nothing taht mine could effect
