Case Lighting

[cobalt261]

I got this UV light for my case but where do i put it to get the best effects? All my new fans and cables are UV sensitive. I just have no idea where it works best (Top or bottom). any help Guys.

I guess it depends on where your cutout is & where you fans are

Can you not just mount it temporarily in either place to see how it looks? I would hazard a guess that at the bottom would give you better effects, since this would shine light upwards (since you are likely to be above your PC) but I think its probably a case of 'suck it and see'

I tried it out last night and the cut out is the only problem so far. It seems that location and size of cards on the Mobo play a factor in location. Also if you have a large window the bottom is the logical place. But if the PC is on the floor it shines upward and is to bright. So some windows my cause the location to be on top or on a support bracket so light is directed downward. I'm still playing with it and will let everyone know the results.

I use 2 lamps in my pc with a window. One shines from the back of the PC and the other from the bottom floor. This spreads light surprizingly well




Hey mods, we should make a case gallery or something.
