Quick question, possibly a noob question, but for some reason I can not reach a conclusion.
I am looking to buy a CCFL UV light (dual bulbs) for my case. I know they only come in a purple color due to the UV wavelengths of the light. Has anyone used a UV light in a green case to highlight the green. Assuming the green is UV reactive I am thinking the purple / violet color would throw the green off a bit. Or any lighter color for that matter yellow, orange, blue etc... Am I wrong thinking the color might be thrown off a bit or would it be better to just scrap the UV and go with a green CCFL?

I think UV CCFL's look great with any color. You can hide the tubes in the case so only the light is visible if needed. Is it the Raidmax Scorpio case you are looking to add them too?

The new case will be a Raidmax Katana. I want to paint the inside green and use orange as an accent color.

UV reactive green accents will look better than a big bright green light... also, if the computer is in your room, a big bright green light would light up your whole room at night lol
The visible violet is very subtle compared to the UV reactive generated light

Here is an even more noob question for you. Why would you want skin damaging lights in your computer case. Besides, with UV rays blasting out of it, you couldn't look @ your case without damaging your eyes.
Explain to me why im wrong, or why this is even legal if im not wrong.

blacklight = UVA
UVB/UVC is bad

Maybe some of us wouldnt be so pasty and white if they used UVB or UVC.
