Red face How should i light my case??

Hey!

I'm really at a wall here, i really don't know what i should do.

I have an Antec Super Lanboy and i don't know whether i should fully deck my system out with UV gear, or just go to Cold Cathodes and LED's??

what i would like to get in the ways of UV, is green/blue, or blue/red, i'm unsure, i think blue/green, or just plain green would look cool, but i'm open to other peoples ideas/suggestions. One thing i will not do is 100% BLUE, i really don't like 100% blue, only because i see all blue system's all too often. I want something different, and something that can make peoples head spin at a LAN :

as i'm in australia, link me to anything you need to link me to from this popular case modding site in aus

http://pccasegear.com.au

all teh UV products they have are here
LED lighting here
Cathodes here

i'm intending to go all the way with the UV. i've attached an image of what i'd get, the colour scheme can be changed though

thanks in advance for any suggestions.

mmm,
Good old PC Case Gear

G'day Blair,
Blue and Green UV cables.
One or Two Blue Cathode tubes, 8" or 12".
And, ya know at the front, the blue light looking grill, Imagine changing that to green.

Here's one I prepared earlier :P
Click Me - I'm really not a virus.
Oh, and it's not a virus heh. Erm. . . maybe I should delete that bit.

I have a combination of CCFLs and UVs. I sleeved all of my wires with green uv and have blue CCFLs and it looks awsome

ok guys cool, seems some votes have come in, and UV is looking like the way, now i have this other issue, where am i going to stick these cathodes, i can't really stick one at the back of the case standing up as their is a 120mm fan there, and i can't replace it with an 8" one, coz that fan is still there, i could always stand it up and put a piece of plastic coated wire through the fan's screw hole and fasten it to the fan (just thought of that then)

i've also coated my wires in the pic hahah it's sooo dodge, i'll take a new pic of the guts of my PC,

ohh yes, and where do i get a green front plate for my Lanboy, i want one bad, it's suit me putting a green LED fan at the front, prolly one with 100cfm or so...
