to install it, you just plug it into a 4-pin molex connector and stick it down, usually with velcro backed tape. some of them come with switches that you can place in a free PCI slot so you can turn the neon on/off from the rear of your case.
 
a!! Glad i can plug it into molex....save some trouble :D
I dont know if you read anything, but the bubbles in there changes, you can have 6 (i think) different speed....so will it include a softwear that i can change speed from the PC?
 
I dont think so. I think the bubbles either go one speed, or you can change it from a switch that goes in the pci slot. Where would it plug into your computer anyways so that software can change settings on it anyways?(that was a rhetorical question btw)
 
Well i dunno.....if you are able to change the speed of fans using your softwear, then shouln't you be able to change bubbles? well, it its not plug into the mobo, i guess you can't change it (like fans also) but i'm not sure where i read about the bubbles, maybe i'm jus tmistaken with another thing :rolleyes: (sorry for the mistake)

Well this is what it says :The brightly-lit LEDs and 8 different speed settings give each tube a unique bubbling effect that takes your case lighting one step beyond everyone else.

Would this mean it depends of the tube?
 
You can only change fan speeds with your computer when they're plugged into the motherboard. When it comes to things like lights, there will be a pci slot for the functions. If its the same as my bubble lights, then its not the bubbles that change, but the pattern the LED's (not neons) flash. The Bubbles are just air pockets in solic plastic. Because im not sure how it would control the way the bubbles would move.
 
I'd opt for a cold cathode light instead. Neon lights get hotter, require more power, and don't last as long. Not to mention they are expensive, for that price you can get 2 cold cathodes, did i mention cathodes are brighter?
 
well, these ait really neons...its water that has led lights with it...something like that....(or perhaps it is still call neons)
and btw, they are only 17$ canadian, so its not that bad!
but i will look into the cathode thing...see whats it is....
(any more advice jsut say it!)

EDIT: The cathode thing is a bit more expensive...so i dunno...but will it have a big efect on heat? (for the PC)
