How do you install Cold Cathodes

Ok, thanks.
So superglue would work? It sets in 10 seconds or so...

Hey, do you think i should run them alongside my clear 140mm fan so they light goes through them? I'd be able to see into my case too :)

They usually come with velcro which works well enough. I wouldn't recommend super glue as then there's realy no ways to move it if you want to later.
 
Make sure to hide the inverter box and run the CCFLs cleanly so they don't look like crap. I like to install them right at the top and bottom of my PC case right behind the door so they are just out of view. Be aware, CCFLs are much brighter than normal LED fan lights and such. If you bought 2, you may just want to install 1 of them unless you just want a super bright box.
 
Mine came with velcro. Install your lights after the motherboard and before anything else. Putting lights in with wires in the way is cumbersome, and now my tape is weak from moving it around so much
 
thanks for the advice guys. now i just need my new motherboard (that works with C2D's! :rolleyes:) to arrive, then my HD 3870 and then the cathodes.
I don't leave my pc on overnight or anything, so the light won't be a problem. If i leave on because i'm downloading something i can always unplug them.

Does anyone know how these things look next to a clear fan? Does the light look good on clear fans? I it does.
 
And they look stylish too. Seriously, though, the Logisys Sound-Activated CCFLs are like the best bang for the buck.
 
They are in the PCI expansion slots... not actually in the slot, but the visible metal part on the back of your computer.
 
So i have to turn my computer around to turn them on?
Is there any way to make them go somewhere on the front of the case?
