I honestly that about that one, lol, i am currently modding another mac.... SHH.. surprise, but i was going to get ultraviolet "blacklight" ones for it, lol.. but eh, i think the blue goes well with my setup in my room.

But i would like to do a bit more to this, i'm thinking of taking out the 12" kit... i only need the 4" really.. although the 4" doesnt light up the inside as much when the side panel is off, it still does a nice glowing job.

What about getting some small ultraviolet "blacklight" LEDs and hide them in the dark spots and get some of the UV paint and paint a few things a white tint so it will light up blue. Like making the G5 on the heatsink blue.

Just an update, i'm taking out the 12" tubes which are "ultra bright blue" so they are slightly different shade blue than the 4" ones, and i'm replacing them with 2 more 4" Neons.. if the 12" ones will work for my buddies G3 mod.

I'll keep you updated. check back soon!

I took out the 12" neon tubes, so now all i have is the 2 4" tubes, it looks nice tho!! I'm going to install an LED Fan next to my graphics card, so that will brighten up the center a bit more. but, overall, always satisfied, still loving it! =D

Plus looks great in the room!
