Default Do cold cathodes/bubble lights look good in a TT armor

For a future rig I want to build (around january) I would like to get some cold cathodes and/or bubble lights. Would these look any good in a TT armor? This is what I am talking about

or
http://www.memoryexpress.com/index.p...314&SID=227274
or

Also, how to these things get powered? Do they connect to the PSU?

I would say the Elite Cathode Kit would look the best imo.

They get plugged into an inverter which is then plugged into a normal molex connection.

What size are the cold cathodes you use? Would a 30cm cold cathode fit fine?

30cm = just shy of 12"?

Im pretty sure it will. Check if they come in pairs, its sometiems best to get 2 so that you have nice, even coverage.

What is a better maker of the cold cathodes? Elite or Logisys? I found these on this website, they are cheaper than the elites,

I've used the Logisys abd they are okay..the UV is not as bright as some though. Best to go with pairs...if you see a dual tube kit go for it.

I am pretty sure the links I posted up above are dual kits right?
