I have been thinking of fitting a mains powered mini UV striplight into my PC :eek:, and having it powered and switched on by a pump relay switch that I have lying around. Can anyone see any problems with me doing this? Would I benifit from a higher voltage UV light over normal 12v UV lights. The ones I seem to buy dont put out that much UV light.

Before I go ahead your thoughts would be appreciated. :)
 
Thanks for the reply Hades, I had thought about heat. :) My system is water cooled and has 2 x 120mm fans drawing cold air in, 2 x 90mm fans and a 120mm fan expelling hot air. would this be enough to still keep everything cool? I have no idea how much heat a fluresent UV light might give off.
 
Thanks for the replies. I sorry I did'nt make my self a bit clearer. I already have 4 x UV cold cathodes in my case a Thermaltake VE2000BWS Armour LCS Super Tower, and to be honest the UV kit in it (including UV dye in the water) does not appear to glow that much.

I know UV lights dont actually light up a case, I am just after making the kit I have glow a bit more vibrantly, and tidy up the number of cables I have snaking around and behind things.

I did'nt think fluresent tubes gave out a lot of heat, and was thinking that one decent tube in the top of my case would solve my problems. If anyone can reccomend some decent brands of cold cathode UV light tubes, then I would really appreciat it. :)
