This part of the forum seemed the most relavent place to post this lol.

I've seen a few pics of peoples set-ups on the forum and a canny few people have, what it looks like to me, desktop neons /cathodes? the nice neon effect lighting shining from behind their desks etc.

I was woundering, are these "desktop neons" ( I don't know what they're called or what they are infact lol ) pluged into the mains, or have people just extended some cable outside their case and behind their desk ?

I've searched google, but had no luck finding a mains powered type of little neons.

Could any one help me out, they look cool and i'd like to fit 1 or 2 behind my desk :)


Thanks all :P
 
Cool thanks :D

That's a great idea, didn't know about PCI molex things :p

I have just one more question. I heard that either cathode lights or neons, i can't remember what type... but i heard that one type of fluresent light can give you skin cancer? Is this true, and if so is it neons or cathode? or somthing completely different :D
 
Hey messiah, that looks great! :D

I was reading the thread about your project earlier, realy nice work there ;)

The brightness of those lights are fine from what i can see, adds a nice effect when it's dark :)

Btw, can you use any type of cable to make an extension? and what would be the best type to use?
 
Hey mark's :p

That PCI external power bracket is exactly what i need!

I've looked around for one and have only came accross one site that sells them, and they're out of stock, i've also tryed ebay, but there's none on there either heh :rolleyes:

no asking for competitors please


Cheers

Thanks for the product name, got it ok it's a great lil gadget :D

I do think OCUK would sell a lot of those if they had them.

About the skin cancer question i ast earlier on, are you guys posative no neon/cathode/UV lights can give you skin cancer or whatnot? I'v seen a UV light with twice as much power than standard UV case lights, wont this effect you?

I ask because, were i am going to put one of these would be directly shining onto my skin ( under my desk, to glow up the keyboard shelf )

Cheers!

I have 2x cathodes in my case ATM, these other 2 for external use should be much more strain i would have thought. My PSU is a Hyper. :)

Thanks for all your help mate, much appriciated! :D
 
Yeah it's a Type-R.

Would it be safer to power the comp up, turn one set on, wait a few seconds then turn the other set on? :)
