is that a small cathode in the top section? If not, how did you get a 12" up there?

Yep that's a full 12in cathode. I nudged it in so that it hangs diagonal accross my optical drive.

I guess I really should really give a full run down of what I have there. Currently I have 6 12" blue cathode tubes in my G5. Two are in the front panel, one is in the back, one is hanging just above my optical drive, one sits just under the heat sink on the bottom of my case and the last one is hanging from the plate that the optical and hard disks sit on. All of the inverters are hanging just behind that last cathod tube. I was really surprised that I was able to place all of them without have to cut any plastic away.

how did you fit the cathode under the heatsinks? Mine are about a mm from the base of the case.

I just slid it under it under it. It was a tight fit but it fit. I mean on mine there must only be about 1cm or so of space. But it was enough to fit it in. Maybe they just made yours a little different? i don't know

just had another look at mine and there is about a cm, but there is no way that one of the cathodes that I have would fit under it. You must have gotten your hands on some really thin cathodes :angry:

I really wanted to put mine there and I analyzed it for a good 10 min before relocating.

Ah well :pinch: , still satisfied with the result...

if u want to find really thing cathodes. CompUSA has a really good selection of thin ones like that. i got some for mine and there perfect not to big at all. and there cheaper to.

look up the name Mad Dog to get them.

voyeur mods has lower prices on cathodes. you can get them for as low as three dollars.
