I am considering getting a couple of blue cold cathodes for my PC. I have seen them at the store, and inside of people's computers in picture galleries. (schweet..) The problem is, I dont know how on earth you are supposed to install them... Are they supposed to include all the parts that you need to install? I would really appreciate help. Thanks! -Show me a sane man, and I will cure him for you.
Right well. For starters, choose your colour and size and order the cathode (Ebuyer are very cheap! there is a US branch too) Once they arrive (hopefully unbroken!) you'll find the cathode tube, a little black box (the invertor) some sticky back pads and a molex lead. Plug the cathode into the invertor, plug the invertor into a spare molex from your psu (or use the splitter provided) and flick the switch, light! Now move it around your case until you find a place you like, peel off the sticky back pads and stick it down there. You can also mount the switch that comes with it in a drive bay or whatever, but its fine just in the case if you dont want to. All done...
