Question Which cold cathodes to get?

The pictures for the X-Cruiser are way over lighted (check them out on Newegg, Apevia, or any other site). So now I have a very weakly lit case and I want to spice it up with something green (most likely cold cathodes)
I found the Logisys 12" Green Cold Cathode light for $10 at MicroCenter.
Does anybody know if these will light up my case enough, probably only one of them for now.
If not does anybody know any other green lights for under $10 shipped. Thanks.

All of the cold cathodes in my case (I have 9) are logisys, and they are very bright and run pretty cool, i got them from newegg. Check out my gallery if you want to see how bright they are, but i dont have any green ones .

I think it's hit or miss with cold cathodes which means, they'll either die quickly or last you a while.

Then I'll take my chances because MicroCenter is great with returns and exchanges so if its not working good I'll get a different one or return it for almost a full refund.

Yep... that sounds fine. I'm sure if you get a bad one, the next one shouldn't be bad also.

Yup, and even if a second one is bad, I'll get a third one.
