Cold Cathode, Neon lights, or LEDs?

[robo555]

Hi, thinking of doing a case mod sometime in the future. And just got some questions about the sort of lighting options available.

Out of cold cathode, neon, and the LazerLED, which one is the best? Which one lasts the longest, is heat an issue for any of them, and how hard are they to install?

I always thought cold cathods were the expensive ones, but I just checked, and found Neons to be more expensive, and cold cathods are the same price as LEDs, can someone please explain this?

LEDs will be your longest lasting, with neon the least. LEDs have an advantage in the fact that they do not need a high voltage discharge to get then going.

dude,

check out www.tweakmonster.com and look at the lightstrip kits. Completely cool, bright and affordable. I bought one and its easy, its like a tape that can stick anywhere and on most things. plus it doesnt take up a lot of power or make a lot of heat!
