I dont think tat NEON (or internal LEDs for PC) lights cause much heat dissipation..neways if u hv made up ur mind to go for sum flashy lights then i would recommend tat u go with a trusted source like tat of Antec's.

I.e go for ANTEC INTERNAL BLUE LED Light..:)

Cheers n e-peace....

there's one problem now ........ price quoted for antec one was 1092 rs and for cooler master one was 1052 rs .....but now the dealer is saying that the price of antec has increased to 1.5 k :x . but cooler master remains same ..

also length of antec tube is 16 cm whereas cooler master is 30 cm long .. antec one is led light one and cooler master is cold cathode light display ...

pls help me choose one of these now that the prices have changed ... also pls suggest few dealeres of antec in mumbai .. argent i am going to purchase it tommorrow only .

well dude, then why post in this thread?

@yogi
well go in for led lighting. they don't get hot. despite the fact the cold cathodes are meant to keep their kool they get hot when an AC voltage is applied to them. this is coz the cathode acts as an anode (postivit terminal) in the negetive cycle of the ac voltage.

the only disadvantage of using led is the lower light intensity than the cold cathode. otherwise the power comsumption is lower than cold cathodes.
