Would it be safe to put a UV Cathode light in my case? I read someone's article here the other day (think it's in the General Discussion forum) about a Cold Cathode light's inverter sort of exploding inside his case, causing damage.

I'm trying to decide whether or not to get a case with a window. If I get a case with a window, I'd want a light so people could see my hardware.....but if having a light in there is a risk to the system, I won't get a case w/ window.

Your thoughts?
