Neons/Cathodes

kinkstr

Im planiing on doing a little modding to my case, gonna cut out a window and have a neon/cathode in for good measure. My question is where should i get them from? I have access to a credit card so if anyone knows a good website for buying this kinda of thing post it up here.
Also, anyone have any other ideas for the noob modder
The case is a Cooler Master Cavalier 3 btw.

i have a Vantec Nexus NXP-305-BK Fan & Light Controller - Black (OA-006-VT) in my machine, while it has fan control, i only use it for the light control, it has a mic which activates the lights, good when your playin bf2 at full volume. it can be seen here

or for other controllers

Have them myself, pretty good

and to the OP cutting the case i once used a dremmel with the angle grinder type bit in it, done a great job all i done was got a straight line on the panel and put clamped wood on to it so that i was really straight.

May work aswell with a jigsaw etc.

Thanks for the link Glipmac, you bought stuff off them before?

Iv bought a good few brands of cathodes over the years and i found the Revoltec to be the brightest/best quality...

I use the fan controller in the link below to switch on/off the cathodes aswell as fans...it's pretty sweet

The €13 delivery charge is a bit much there.

ebay is great for small, cheap things like cathodes, fans, etc.
