Default Which light do you think would look better for my case?

I have an Antec SuperLAN Boy case; one 120mm blue fan in the front, and the red mobo light spreads through the bottom of my case kinda. My top, however, is pitch black at night, so I'm wondering if I should get a green one or blue one...

it seems that the common threesome colors together are blue, red, and green.

oh, oops; they are cold cathode lights. that means that they are uv, right?

I have Red in back, green upfront and blue in the mid. It looks pritty sweet. not shure about ur UV question. I would go for the blue one!

I would say a nice 24" blue cold cathode as green is a bit off with the blue fan you got, but that is just my personal preference.

In regards to UV the cold cathodes are not UV active but they will illuminate the UV IDE cables to an extent.

cheers

I would go for regular blue mate

The UV isn't really neccessary unless you've got a bunch of special UV-cables and UV-fans, they'll lite up then. Otherwise, the UV doesn't give that much light i think so i wouldnt get 'those funky things' if I were you
