Good set of cold cathodes

zabomb4163 · May 29, 2003

Where can i find the best price/quality combination online

xoxide, frozencpu, pcmods, ect
Do you recommend any particular kits? (i dont want to spend more than 25$max)

they didn't all use to come with acrylic blocks at the ends, just make sure the lights you get come with those, makes it a lot easier to attach. I just bought some sticky velcro from the local hardware store, and stuck a little square on one side of each block, and then on the inside of my case, super easy install/removal

Maybe they all come with those acrylic blocks though, I just only see them in the bottom UV one of the 12" cold cathodes on frozencpu, but the description is the same for all.... maybe send an email before buying?

I usually put together my own CCFL kits, with components from All Electronics or BG Micro .

I got mine from xoxide.com they work well and were pretty cheap.

I'll second those Xoxide cold cathode kits, I've had two of them in my case for almost a year now and they're awesome.

You definitely should spend some decent money on the cathodes. I got some from buyxg.com and one came cracked in the mail and the other cracked within a week. Waste of $6...

I like the ones I got from SVC. The price was right and they've worked well for me.

I got my kit (Came with CC) at http://directron.com , dont know about there shipping as I live in Houston.

My kit was 13-14 dollars
and yes mine came with the lil acrylic blocks at the end with its own velcro squares . Also with dual CC ability and a nice rocker switch .

PcMods is really good.

I love the dual inverter kits from www.svcompucycle.com

They are very bright, and cheap.

:edit: you can get 2 lights for $11 + shipping
