    Anyone got an good ideas on how to attach these to the inside of your case ?

    (P.S. I have a clear case)

    mine came with velcro sticky tabs.
    stick two on your case, and wrap the other two around the ends of the cathode.

    dont know if you'd want to do that with a plexi case tho, b/c it might not be the look you're going for.

    get some clear spiral tube.... from MAPLINs

    and small spongy double sided sticky tape (5mm my 100mm) from WHSMITH

    then shove the cathode bulb in the spiral wrap and attach the spiral wrap (enclosing the bulb) deep into a corner (tape in the corner)

    the tape beomes see through and the spiral wrap cuts out the glare of the bulb.. the spiral wrap GLOWs guite nicely..

    the advanage of this is you can slide bulb out anytime you want...


    hopes this helps... :)

    the ones from coolpc.com come with double sided tape or something I am not sure what it is but the reviews say something of it. I will find out when I get mine in the mail.
    :cool:
    other then that I would agree with people above. I just thought maybe velcro would work well too. (small tabs of it at each end. that way you could change where it sits.

    I like having the bulbs in acrylic tubes and uses "tie mounts" and zip ties to hold em in place.
