OK, imstarting to mod my case. I have 2 UV cathode fans already. But my next question is whats the best way to keep all those darn cables under control? Theres so many! Also, how much power does a 12 in cathode use? I only have a 400 watt power supply i want to make sure its enough b4 i buy one.

Depends on the cathode really. If you want to keep the cabling under control zip ties are a good idea.

Another way to keep the cables nice is using FLEXO sleeving you can get it cheap at svc.com. Your 400W psu should be plenty fine for your energy needs.

Electrical tape works fine if the wires are not going to be under scrutiny. Or ties, or velcro wraps, or any of the stuff mentioned above. The nicest look IMO is the shrink wrap.

You should have plenty of power.

I prefer loom. :D

I'd say use the Flexo Pet and heatshrink. I'm in the process of doing it to every cable in my case. Finished the powersupply but still have to do all the fans, cathode, and misc wires. Looks very sharp and takes up 1/2 the space of those bulky plastic split wire loom things.
