Modding Newbie : Neon Lights

60" If you've got that much lightstrip why not just do a U-shape round the inside if the case? That'll light it up

 

actually the lightstrip is pretty naff!...

Got it running the length of the bottom of the case, up the back and along the top of the thing, it's rather unimpressive!.

Still, my 4 Antec fans will arrive next week I hope.....

 

have you tried it in the dark yet?

 

Yeah,

Think I need to re-think where I've got the lightstrip, I can't see it, (obscured by most of the case!). Nevermind, I'll get it right eventually!.

 

Depending on what your case is like you've got decent options (that i can think of )

1) Underneath the case for the 'UFO glow'
2) behind a grill where a cathode/neon wont fit.

Any other ideas anyone?

 

Thanks for the ideas, I'm now thinking of putting it just around the glass panel on the side of my case....

 

The lightstrip itself is pretty bright but it doesn't emit much light. If you want to light up the inside most people get a neon or a cold cathode (or 2or 3 or 4 or..) If you have a Geforce 4 chances are your light will get cut in half unless you mount it verticaly (G4's are looooooooong) I have a blue neon and am waiting till pay day to order some nice red antec fans I figure the red will stick out nicely in the sea of blue. As for your lightstrip, you probably have enough to do the outline of your window and also the outline of your front grill.

 

Thanks,

I've now moved the lightstrip a little, and it looks a bit better.

My 3 Antec fans should arrive today (2 blue, 1 tri), so that should help to make the case look loads better!!. I'll be moving the blue flashing Akasa fans to the front of the case, and putting the two blues at the rear, not decided on where to put my tri colour one yet.
