I got mine at CompUSA for $19.99. But $6 and then S & H sounds like a deal to me.

Anyone experience this? I put a PC Toys blue cold cathode into a 2.4C P4 system in a Antec LanBoy case (has a Antec 350 watt PSU and a window) and everytime I turned the cathode on, the system freezes. Leave the cathode off, system runs fine. Had to take the cathode out since I didn't want the owner to deal with the problem.

I usually don't do light mods to the computers I build, but the owner is a younger guy that thought lights in a computer case was cool. I stuck in 2 Antec Blue LED case fans instead and the owner is happy with his glowing blue computer.

Ive used only comp USA cathodes. I have never had a problem. Except once we overdid the power to the one connector. It is much better to try to add it to one less used u shouldnt run into the problem. Keep it off the hard drive line.
