UV lighting could be an idea, I have got the akasa UV lighting, works a treat

LOL, wasn`t sure which type as all the ones I have seen also give off a coloured like as well, just want the UV stuff to glow, nothing else if you get me.

But you still gonna see that purple light right?
Asking cause I would like to use black tubing and orange uv coils, but also would like to use some orange leds and fans. #
Would they all be ok? UV catode has that purple light - how to reduce it to monimum but keep uv coils lighten up???

Hide the cathode behind something, they really don't give off massive ammount's of UV light, and when you can't actually see the cathode, there really isn't much glare from them at all.

ok, I'll try that... maybe be build it up with dark acrylic, leaving small gap for light...

I saw you already ordered, but I got mine ... from overclockers

I tried them in my current case, and work nicely. I didnt install them properly though. Once I get my new mobo in tomorrow I will be doing a new build, and I am infact using black/blue UV coolant and Orange uv anti-kink coils, so I could post some pics once im done if you want. See what it looks like.
