If you have a window on the side panel of your computer case, you'll probably want to show it off with a little lighting. One effective way to light up your case is to use a cold cathode kit. Today we take a look at one such kit from SunBeamTech and put it through its paces.
The kit comes complete with cold cathode, 12V inverter, Velcro tape for mounting, and all the necessary wiring. The cathode measures in at 12 inches and is available in a variety of colors: red, green, blue, purple, yellow, white, UV, blue/red, blue/green and tri color (red/green/blue).
As with most cold cathode kit invertors, SunBeamTech's version allows you to plugin and power two cold cathodes at a time.
