My PSU has blue UV reactive cables, so I'll put a blue cathode in once I get my new case.

A blue cathode won't make your cables light up, it'll just shine blue light.

You need a UV cathode matey....

I found blue CCFLs cause UV stuff to glow better than using UV CCFLs. :confused:

They will make it brighter... As they actually emit visible light...
They won't make the cables glow rather than just light them up.

If you stick 1 coloured CC in a case, it will wash out any UV light.

I've had a blue cathode in my case, and it doesnt make the reactive cables glow as they do with the UV.

Like Cap Fizz said, the blue cathode will pretty much kill the UV effect.

I've had 1 UV and 1 Blue cathode, and i can tell you now, it looked crap, took the blue one out, and now when it gets darker (cables are the opposite side to my UV) it lights up all funky like.
