Thx for the info, would one dual cathode UV do for my case? or should i get 2 (4 X 12")?
The Akasa branded UV cathodes I find are the best ones you can currently get, even though the technology in them hasn't changed in years.
I bought two of the dual cathode version years ago for a UV PC project and they work wonders. Very Bright, don't get too hot, assuming you have decent case cooling which also makes them last longer.
Only worries I find with any PC lighting cathodes are the crap thin cables to the inverter which can easily be accidently ripped. Not to mention sometimes their length can get troublesome if you want to route them out of the way. They are either too long, or just too short depending how you do it, or the design of the PC case.
Other that that, good luck with your UV modding.
Glad you said that, just bought and recieved some for my water cooling project![]()
i've decided rather than cutting the side out of my silverstone tj09 case i'll just order the windows side for it instead. I'd like to have something professionally cut out of the case but i aint got a clue where do have it done

i was after a non-windowed side panel for the tj09 in black if you can help? my email in trust
Sorry i found one online last night & ordered. Thx anyways
i would still buy your non-window one get some money back for yourself?
I would agree that the akasa ones are good, unfortunatly i was stupid enough to break one when i was sorting out cable management so bare in mind that they are fragile (but i guess that goes for all cathodes). Used the blue ones and looked/worked great. Only thing i dont like is the switch is not on a pci bracket, like some others that i see, but you can route the switch through a pci slot and mount it at the back of your case using cable ties, which is what i did.
Keep in mind this is a brand new case, so its a brand new side and thus immaculate. i'd be interested in selling it for a fair price - I'd take £30 for it delivered. I'm paying about £45 delivered for the windowed side and i believe both the windowed and normal were the same price. Let me know.
