:. 12 inch and 4 inch Blue Cold Cathode Light Kits

:. Installation .:

Thanks to pcmods for already having everything done because it made the installation quick and easy. Both kits are extremely easy to setup and they include everything you need. The hardest part in this installation would be to chose a nice location for the lights and I decided to take the 12 inch pcmods light and put it in the back part going vertical because after doing some test I figured that this way it would light up more of the case then it being on the bottom. The small 4 inch light is also great because you can put this guy almost anywhere. I decided to put it up in the bottom front part of my Lian-Li because I found the effect of the blue glowing out of the small holes just stunning. Thanks to the Velcro the lights straight where I put them even when I was dragging the computer around the house. Zxmods also gave people the chance to save some money by providing barebone kits, if you want to same some money and play around with the lights then you can put it together and install it yourself.

:. Impression .:

I have seen a lot of different cool looking neon lights and they always amazed me, because they always added such a nice pinch of detail to a car or a computer. But shit did my jaw ever drop when I got everything setup and connected (at night). Words cant describe how cool these lights looked and not only did they light up my whole computer and change the colors of the wires and hardware but it also lighted up my whole room and it looked like I had a blue light bulb on. After picking myself up and cleaning all the saliva off the floor I started to play around with the light and also thought about how cool it would look if you mixed different colors. For example if you have a blue and a red or green or orange together you could seriously make some amazing effects.


:. Pros and Cons .:

 

:. Pros .:

  • Shielded inverter
  • Velcro attachment makes for quick and easy removal
  • Lasts for a long time (about 20 years)
  • Drilling template included

:. Cons .:

  • A bit pricey for a light
  • Could have made the power cable a bit longer

:. Conclusion .:

If Neon's just don't impress you enough (Me waving my hand up in the sky) then I think the Cold Cathode lights will because I know I love them and I will be using them in my future case mods.  The installation is quick and easy and the result will amaze you for a long time. You can pick up the 12 inch pcmods Cold Cathode lights at Bigfootcomputers.com (Talk to Neil if you run into any problem, they also got great service) if your located in Canada and for the 4 inch you can order it at Zxmods.com
