    FYI

    Okay, I got the help of Macroman over the weekend... My other account made the BB software hiccup or something. I'll be going by "STRESSTEST" in the future...

    To be honest with you, we don't really "Plan" on these things...

    It kind of works like this..

    1) An idea of the next sale pops into the heads of the players here.
    2) Then they stew over the items that they want to put in it.
    3) Then they send the emails out to the customer base..


    It's really that simple :D. I'll see about getting the UV's in this weeks ad. Keep in mind that this is a 4 or 5 minute process heh!

    can you get 80mm radiation grills like the ones you've got now in black?

    i want to get all of the grills on my next project to match, you've got the 120mm, and the 92mm ones but not the 80mm version

    All sold out of the 80mm. The plex grills are so cheap due them being discontinued.

    I got some the other say at http://www.svc.com - (Silicon Valley Compucycle) odd name eh?

    They're $8 for the tube with the dual-inverter and only $3.50 apiece for tubes without the inverter.

    They should be in in a couple days, so I'll tell ya how they do once they get here.

    I would play D3 but it won't work with my windows XP :( it freezes after 5 mins.

    Thanks for the sale on the UVs, they're perfect for a case I want to build.

    By the way, is there a way to make a CCFL hard drive activity activated?

    Zap, if they are pink like my last red cathode was you can just wrap it in red cellophane.

    The pink ones I had bought before were still pink, even after wrapping them in several layers of Red Car Window Tint.

    Mabye these will be better, they should be here today.

    Come over to our board for help in the D3 arena. descentbb.net There we can help you get things figured out.

    As far as a HD activity ccfl mod, I'd probably look to Macroman for something like that. Someone has had to have done this already! If not, maybe the ccfl throbber could be adapted in some form.

    ok, got mine in the mail

    I have to say, they look pretty darn red to me... here's my attempt to photo them..

    [​IMG]
    all lit up, I put a piece of A4 behind them so they would cast some light on a white surface to get an idea of the color

    [​IMG]

    came packed well too... although, I like to see longer wire leads to the cathodes for placement but overall for $10, me like

    Yeah, they are really hard to photo, especially with digital cameras. They always look orange. They are ceartainly not PINK! I'm biased, but I'd say they are as "red" as cathodes come anywhere.

    good thinking on the A4 so ppl can see the light they cast.
