On the OCZ 520W Modstream I was looking at the box, I have this installed, but im wondering on the box one of the pictures has the actual modular cables neon blue. I know the fan has a Blue neon but is it a different model that has the neon blue cables?

They're probably UV reactive cables, so you'd need UV cold cathode lights in your case to illuminate them.

Where can you get them from, OcUK have them?/ how do you install them? do they just clip on around the cable or something? / how is it powered?

You'd be looking for these and most of them connect by plugging into a spare molex connection, if you don't have a window in your case they are a bit pointless(and even then...).

Yeah, they do look pretty though!

Are the cables really stiff with the Modstream?

Well they are quite stiff but they are really tidy, I mean my system has hardly any wires, if you count the SATA cable and the floppy + hdd cables, thats it. The power supplies usually leave wires everywhere. The case im getting btw is the Thermaltake Soprano with the window.

Also my computer is running silent, and I mean silent, I can't actually hear much. Just the fan from the CPU I think but its ultra silent. But yeah the OCZ 520W Modstream is really good if you ask me.
